Flying By

You took me by surprise
I can barely hide this with a lie
And once I speak to you
Maybe I will know what to do

And I can’t hide the fact
My thoughts just aren’t exact
And realistically I don’t know you at all
So why did I let myself fall

[Chorus:]
Spinning in circles as I’m waiting for you
I just needed somebody to turn to
Who are you cause I can’t deny
When we talk time keeps flying by

My identity’s gone just from talking to you
Nothing seems to be what I’m used to
I feel all giggly like a kid
I don’t even know what you did

[Chorus:]
Spinning in circles as I’m waiting for you
I just needed somebody to turn to
Who are you cause I can’t deny
When we talk time keeps flying by

You found something I lost inside myself
And I wouldn’t want to put up with anybody else
Maybe things aren’t so strange
Life keeps giving me chances to change

[Chorus:]
Spinning in circles as I’m waiting for you
I just needed somebody to turn to
Who are you cause I can’t deny
When we talk time keeps flying by

How Strange

Strangers at first
That’s where we all start
Until we meet each other
And we don’t know life apart
Disclosing becomes easier
Trust is gaining
And there are fewer things
That I’m refraining
Stories of the past
A time we never knew
Playing years of catch up
There’s so much left to do
But then something happens
We have our first fight
And we can’t conclude
Who’s wrong or right
It’s easier to move on
But that elephant’s still there
With an open wound
That we’ve left unrepaired
And we can pretend
But we can’t forget
And someone who once comforted you
Becomes something you regret
Words can’t make this better
And we can’t pretend
That someone you love
Can’t become a stranger again

Innocence of words
Exchanges between two
Always the first step
And that’s how I met you
Initiating

Questioning intentions
Teetering the line
Is this a friendship
Or do you want to be mine
Experimenting

A flame begins to burn
I know this is real
Space disappears
And it’s you that I feel
Intensifying

A relationship builds
Without being planned
Two become one
Hand in hand
Integrating

We could spend days together
But I’d still want more time
Two against the world
Planning for a lifetime
Bonding

We still have our own identities
We bring different things to the table
And that is okay
When the foundation is stable
Differentiating

But in uncharted territory
Things quickly change
And someone you love
Can become someone estranged
Circumscribing

We’re questioning each other
I’m feeling uncertain
When I’ve found there’s a stranger
Living under the curtain
Stagnating

And not talking becomes easier
We can just look away
A love becomes scorned
From our new disarray
Avoiding

Silence becomes deadly
When we can’t even pretend
So as the flame flickers out
We come to an end
Terminating
