Let me tell you about the time I remember you first crossing my mind
It was after you first crossed my eyes
Both of shy and quiet. Watching the rest of the school from the sidelines
Most of whom were fools and pests
But you made it past them
You made It through them
The vulgarity and nuisance
You brought illumination
And an exhilarating perfume scent
You made the cows jumper over the moon
You made me fall over words and trip over sentences
Little did I know what that would come to represent
Fast forward a little
Now we're in the middle of our high school careers
Not astonished by piers, or petty quarrels.
You sent a message to this little squrriel
I thought what a strange coincidence
This has never happened.
No genuine women has ever taken interest in me
So I responded with haste, as there was little time to waste
I'd love to come chill, should I bring some beers to kill
So I wrangled some brews, stuffed them in my bag and called up my mother
Hey mom can you give me a ride
Sure kid where ya going
To Burnham to hang out with a friend
What's his name she responded
I said ash and she looked astonished
But she dropped me off unawares of my intentions
I couldn't believe I would finally get a peek into her life
Because at school she seemed so magical
And unlike everyone else
She seemed fine to dwell on her own
Weakness from her was something that was never shown
Probably due to the fact that to her it was never known
As the time passed and the night grew colder.
The crowd grew smaller and my thoughts got taller.
We found ourselves down in the pit.
Amidst the company of one witness I'd like to forget
Had I not held back, and graced your lips with a kiss
Maybe Aubrey would be mine
And we wouldn't be in this
This mess that I've created
From my lack of communication
My own mental hallucinations
Maybe it would've changed our final destination
Destined to be separated
Right from the second we graduated
I'd always been infatuated
Now that your gone
I do my best to stay strong
Though I feel so wrong
Try my best to smile and get along
Feeling lost, look what I've done
Look what it's cost
Everything I ever wanted
Gone in a flash
Like a camera lense snaps
I let it all crumble and crash.
