Rainy Days and Hurricanes

i knew a girl once, she was beautiful in all sorts of ways
my lips were the right size for that perfect face
it's over now but i can't forget those big brown eyes
i feel so dead but i know i'm very much alive
i wish i could hear her voice before i go to sleep
well i guess i can but she doesn't actually speak
it's just saved in my mind like all the other memories
that i know she'll forget, but i keep close to me
this story goes on and on until i close my eyes
and take the biggest breath of my life
it never reaches my lungs, stays in my throat
i know it's impossible, but i still have hope
it's not the same, you and i are just parrallel shapes
two lines that never touch but are in viewing range
it hurts so bad knowing that i can't hold your hand
i think of ways to tell- but you'll never understand
what it feels like to wake up every morning thinking
deep inside your heart, wishing that you hadn't
i was so happy to know
i was yours and you were mine
you said everything would be just fine
and that night, when you said
"alright, i can't kiss you under street lights"
you looked so pretty, i hope they burn right through your eyes
