You and Her

Her pen it floats above the words
That she just carved into her
Tell-all diary where she
holds all treasures true. It was a
Rush of reasoning
now spilled across her pages
As she stares through the window
With a different point of view

She can’t believe that all of this is happening
She promised herself she would never fall again
You struck a chord, you pulled her back and you don’t even know
It’s how you asked her as a friend
It’s all because of you
It’s all because of you

Your finger floats above the numbers
That she gave you in your brightest moment
That forever will survive with you

You’re now much higher than you ever thought was possible
You feel the nerves within you stir
It’s all because of her
It’s all because of her

It’s a long reach to the other side
When you’re so used to your own
For each train there’s a time to decide
When every track is unknown

Instrumental

You build a fort under the sheets where
You eat popcorn with your little angel, so proud of her loose tooth, She talks of
Dolphins and orcas, of fairies in the forest, and of how much she loves you
And does she have to sleep?
The door it opens, you scream knowing mama’s home, you
Rush down to greet her, but Charlie-dog gets there first
These are the days, these are the hopes, these are the best of times
And all these things they can occur
If only you and her

(Chorus)

If only you and her
