Fallin' To You

Walkin’ with you beside me, shoulders touching My heart beating as fast as the footsteps that touch the floor We walk out the doors, fresh air hitting my lungs as I inhale Exhaling, my mind calms down, But you’re on the back of my mind, And you’re on the front of my mind My mind feels like it’s empty but it’s really only filled with you Like a cup of water, the crystal clarity reflecting off the shine of the sunlight The pace of our steps is the same but not my heart as we climb up these stairs that feel unfamiliar but aren’t, Call it jamais vu and now I’m lookin’ at you Infatuation clouds my mind as I struggle to find the right words, Your eyes, like the moon, got me lost in ‘em They ain’t white but they still as beautiful as the crescent above us Still findin’ myself, but at least I found the words They may not be right but they’re flowing out my lips nonetheless It’s funny because it seemed like you weren’t lost, Yet you struggled to find the same words that I said to you You’re speaking such complex words, Or at least I tell myself it's complex because all that’s on my mind is embracing you I start to scream internally, Afraid that you may be afraid of me, stepping backwards Yet stepping towards me at the same time How is it that you’ve made it so obvious but I still struggle to know what you’re thinking? Missin’ you even though you’re right in front of me… I creep beside you as we appreciate the varietal colours of the fall Funny, ‘cause I’m falling for you Hopin’ we see each other next fall too, But I’m fallin’ for this opportunity in front of me, But enough about falling, You got your hand wrapped around my heart but it’s alright, ‘Cause now we’re about to embrace Your body falls to mine, And the warmth of it against mine like the moon against the black sky With the wind blowing against our skin, like the stars of the night Still, I fall back down to earth, Because you’re not the moon and I’m not the sky, But that doesn’t matter, ‘Cause, that’s how it feels when I’m fallin’ for you, When I’m fallin’ to you.
