We were in my room laying down on my bed
You were kissing my neck and i don't think they knew
That every time i felt your breath my heart raced
And i recalled the process in wich our fingers laced
I was still half talking to him and i didn't even care about my friend
Who had already noticed us and was sitting on my bed right at the end
Your lips were still touching my soft neck and my hand was
Naturally caressing your arm up and down in a caring way
I was feeling passionate 'cause i felt your hand slowly lay
On the back part of my jeans and that's when everything else went away
I turned my head and breathed you in i sort of smiled
When our faces met and a second lasted a while
Then our lips touched and our hands moved
And the music was good so was the mood
Now when i listen to that song all i think about is you
I wish you were different i wish you wanted to hug and kiss me too
But your unconscious brain can only notice so much
I'll stop complaining now but believe me i don't love you, i wouldn't put myself in such a mess of emotions and doubt that my grades would go down
You're not that important and probably never will be
You're so nieve and i can't believe you don't see
That with a little fixin' up i could be your everything
I should get off of this cloud and stop dreamin'
BUT I DON'T WANT TO RIGHT NOW
I DON'T CARE ABOUT REALITY
I JUST WANT YOU ON MY BED
AND EVERYTHING TO BE BE HOW I WANT IT TO BE
SO NOW I'LL REMEMBER THAT NIGHT IN MY ROOM
AND A BORING RELATIONSHIP THAT NEVER WILL BLOOM
The pleasure of your body against mine was unescapable
and your hands were touching me
Your lips dancing towards my neck
my hands sunk in your hair
While i pushed your head closer
And if they weren't here i'd maybe let
You see parts of me that would change your goddamn world
You'd have to put your fucking life on hold!
I'm writing outside of the store that's next to my school
And i smell the smoke that comes from that guy's cigarette and i drool
I want to touch your body and change your soul
I want to collide with you and make you whole
BUT I JUST BITCH ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU ARE NOT
AND THAT'S JUST NOT THE POINT, IS IT? NO IT'S NOT
That night there were 2 heartbeats, a body and a soul
And all you did was bury everything in a deep dark hole
That night night there were 2 heartbeats, a body and a soul
And all you did was bury everything in a deep dark hole
THAT NIGHT THERE WERE TWO HEARTBEATS
ALL YOU DID WAS BURY EVERYTHING
A BODY AND A SOUL
A BODY AND A SOUL
EVERYTHING IN A DEEP DARK HOLE
That night there were 2 heartbeats:a body and a soul
And all you did was bury everything in a deep dark hole
But hey, everything's cool
I'll bury everything too
And maybe one day that night will change you
But you're just a goofy kid and that's all you'll ever be
And if we do make love they'll always be parts of me that you'll never see.
