To the Boy I Loved Twice

I wish I could explain your eyes
And how the sound of your voice gives me butterflies
How your smile makes my heart skip a beat
And how every time I'm with you I feel complete
You're so silly and you're you're so nice
And you're the boy I fell in love with twice
Now that I have you again, I can't let you go
Even after you understand how I love you so
I swear to stand by your side through the heart of each storm
And I'll even hold the umbrella to keep us warm


{I love you more than time  
And I love you more than love
I love you more than money
And the million stars above

Before you ever touched me
I'd never truly been touched
And before you ever loved me
I'd never truly been loved}


I found you once before when we were so young
And I didn't have the courage to use my tongue
Moved far away without you
against my every protest
But before I left you
my love for you I confessed
Later in the year
you wrote me a song
In it you said we'd probably have to wait long
We knew that each other was a temporary sacrifice
But those words still promised to see me again in paradise

{chorus}

Six long years later I finally saw your face
Those eyes with the depth of an ocean holding me in place
And when reading that focused copper stare
I saw the colors of emotion
The colors I felt behind my own watching eyes
And when your hand reached for mine
The first real touch in such a long time
The heat of your fingertips rushed to my hand
I felt the passionate energy travel and expand

{chorus}

Sometimes I'll just sit down and think
And I'll let the bad things get to me
And I'll allow them to devour me entirely
And then I'll start to wonder why I even cry
And then I'll begin to wonder why I even try
And I'll blame my pain on the love of my life
And I'll tell myself you're the reason why I've lied
In the past, because I don't want to face
The reality that I control my own communicative taste

{chorus}

The other night at the strike of midnight
I happily tore at the old scribbled words
And I grabbed fresh sheet of white paper
To begin with the new chapters of my book
Because every life is a story from the beginning to end
So this new and improved novel I'm writing
It has you in every chapter, your name is on every single page
And now I need to know from you
If you are ready and willing to
Help me make this next book right
Cause I'm gonna need all of your might
To help me fight off each day and night
This darkness that tries to steal our light

{chorus}
