After watching the Nashville T.V. series –called Awkward Elevator Ride for Rayna and Luke

Season 3 Episodes 14. I found I had to write about their love and confusion making sure to add my favorite lines from Luke.

Elevator Conversation:

Luke: “yea the world keeps turning”

“You enjoyed watching it all fall apart”

“Bet you never looked back once”

You just walked away 

An elevator happening by chance
Accidental meeting our old romance
An unconcerned casual hello
Said without much thought
My old bedfellow 

Diamond and a wedding cake today
Promises I didn't mean to break
Leaving u alone 
Between the alter and a broken vow

Loving two makes me so confused 
Choosing him and running away from you
You said I never once looked back
You didn’t see my heart turn ivory black
then,

(Chorus)
Then you just walked away
And then you say
The world keeps turning 
But I’m still yearning
Caught between two loves
Leaving behind white wedding gloves 

When you walked away 
You didn’t let me say 
I’m sorry, so sorry
In my delusional heart
Watching it all fall apart

But you don’t know
My world has shifted 
Lost my senses
Everything was thrown into the fire 
Our hearts a precious stone of sapphire

So now I remain in my spinning world
As our story becomes unfurled
I hope you land safe
On your way down don’t chafe
Cause you know we’ll be alright
Gravity in our lives 
Keeps us through this flight
  
(Chorus)
Then you just walked away
And then you say
The world keeps turning 
But I’m still yearning
Caught between two loves
Leaving behind white wedding gloves 

I became consumed
With loving two
Choosing him
Loving you
Still remains many broken pieces
I confess I am the reason

Oh Oh I wish I never met you 
Oh Oh I wish I never met him
Oh Oh Yea I looked back
Oh Oh with regrets 
Cause I landed 
Broken fragments
