lovely

as silent as a ghost, you came into my life
you soon became as sweet as a cup of coffee in the morning
you made me feel so right even if they said it was wrong

i never knew much about love besides the heart break that came along right after
then you started saying the sweetest things that just about made me melt
the world kept telling me we'd end up another tragic love story disaster
but so far so good, you keep the same smile on my face that i had the first time we met
and the butterflies i can still feel them over and over again

your so much more than my sunshine on a cloudy day
so much more than the stars that light the sky
you so much more than a childs first word
the word special doesnt even describe you

i could try to use almost every word in the dictionary
and baby it still wouldnt be enough
because your more than anyone will ever know

you make me say things ive never said before
and you fill me up with emotions i can hardly explain
ever since you walked through that door
i knew youd be something special in my life

sometimes our love has a dreamlike quality
something that seems unreal
sometimes i have to pinch myself just to make sure im awake
i used to think it was to good to be true

but you proved me wrong, now i have everything ive ever wanted
and im keeping it that way until the sun turns blue
meaning its going to stay that way as long as i live
because you are the shooting star i wish upon every night
your what makes me know this love is true.

...........

once upon a time ago, i had a life full of reckless dreams
since then its been a while, and all those are just senseless things
i used to spend my night on a dance floor intoxicated to no end
i had the greatest of friends, the kind you never forget
but i had to grow up before i got left behind

theres things you start to realize in time
like how important it is to plan ahead
i had to change my state of mind
and do the things i used to dread

they say break the rules while your young
but why not build a base for you future
and save the fun

i cant say i dont miss the things i left behind
because they always hold a special place in my heart
but i had to learn to say no and how to beat time
i havent done much but i can say its a start
