Thinking of Last Year
We were both a little weary from lack of love lately
though I'd never had any in the first place
I was still happy
You were sitting there, you were
short
but I didn't know what could ever happen
it's like my brain decided to start napping
and before i knew it i was snatching
kisses from your lips
You know, it just struck me
how everything
revolves around love in our worlds
it's a good world in which we live
it startled me about a year ago
when you kissed me like that
it was just that I hadn't expected such a thing
I had grown accustomed to dreaming of the day
I had no idea it had been so close to those nights
that I would learn almost everything
that I will ever really know
Yeah, I can go on to college
learn everything out there about English
and stuff like that
but I have all I need to know
right here, in my head
How love is all there really is to know
and anything that isn't love
is just a little detail
A year ago, I guess I was in love
with you
It just dropped me, I mean
I had never seen such a powerful thing
it just dropped me to my knees
begging for more of your love
I guess I got enough
to learn that it wasn't true love
I guess it hurt a little when you said
that you wanted it to end
I guess I said that I felt the same way
Oh well, I didn't then, but I'm glad I said I did, now
because now I know what there can be
how, if done correctly,
love can topple anything
