The less you're in love, the more you can say,
maybe that's why, I'm rendered speechless.
your face next to mine makes my soul want to burst
maybe that's why my tongue is a desert
the bones in your face are an elegant thing
your nimble strange mind more elegant still
you hold my hands and remind me to breathe,
you whisper softly when I'm in a panic
and we hold hands and stand high above the town
we dance like barbarians and tear through the house
we look up at the lights that bloom across the sky
we are our own universe just you and I.
and I never wanted to be this in love
because I'm afraid of how much it hurts
when you lose a lover to breakup for death
everything beautiful in this world ends
but I'm throwing myself in headfirst this time
because I believe that you are worth it
some people think falling in love is a mistake
but you're the best mistake that I've ever made
