I'm glad we met
You're like poetry in motion
Where every move you make
Makes waves just like the ocean
You make a sound the room stops and stares
It's unbelievable to think you'd be unaware
I'm surprised the world's just not falling to their knees
Can't believe that this is something only I can see
You're surreal to me
It's like Aphrodite made you so damn perfect
If I didn't know love I'd learn it
Right now (If I didn't know love I'm gonna get there)
I'm struck by cupid
I finally found my muse and
It's always been you
All along
It's not enough to say I admire your mind
Or how pretty you look when you're smiling so wide
Or how you hold yourself with every last ounce of pride
And to honest, level with you, I can't really decide
Maybe it's your foul mouth or how you never want to sing
How you captivate like you belong on a movie screen
Not even in my dreams
I can't imagine
It's like Aphrodite made you so damn perfect
If I didn't know love I'd learn it
Right now (If I didn't know love I'm gonna get there)
I'm struck by cupid
I finally found my muse and
It's always been you
All along
Aphrodite made you so damn perfect
If I didn't know love I'd learn it
Right now
I'm struck by cupid
I finally found my muse and
It's always been you
All along
If I didn't know love I'm gonna get there
Aphrodite made you so damn perfect
If I didn't know love I'd learn it
Right now
I'm struck by cupid
I finally found my muse and
It's always been you
All along
It's always been you

Forever

Forget me not
Forget me now until forever
I'll stay as long as you help keep me together
I'll stay forever (Hold on)
I'll stay forever (Hold on)
All the time I figured out
Just to peak behind the scenes
They said I could be anything
So I had all these hopes and dreams
Papers full of ideas, plans
Countered with the world's demands
Here's the mold you wanted (What?)
Let's see if you fit in (Damn)
It's not the way I thought of, please
Doesn't change how much you plead
To do that you need paper, green
The price's to care too much it seems
Seems like a shot want to believe
That there's more
That there's more
Forget me not
Forget me now until forever
I'll stay as long as you help keep me together
I'll stay forever (Hold on)
I'll stay forever (Hold on)
I'm tired and sorry
I never lived to your praise
But don't worry, it's okay
If you don't remember my name
I've held my best moments under scrutiny
My mind is lost now it's a mutiny
It's crazy and that's beauty, see?
I'll live forever now in a fantasy
I struggle with the thought to find a modicum of normalcy
To caught up seems like it's normal to me
If you're scarfing down pills normally
I'm manic at least quarterly
I like to think there's more to me
Forget me not
Forget me now until forever
I'll stay as long as you help keep me together
I'll stay forever (Hold on)
I'll stay forever (Hold on)
I'm in a cycle where avoidance is the cure and the fallacy
I wasn't there because you don't matter to me
I wasn't there because I was mad at me
If I was there it'd be sad to see
A former drunk with petty morality
To broken and hope and elope with the thoughts
To be just considered insanity
Don't think cause I'm gone
It's from some sense of vanity
Home feels lone cause I don't leave
I blame the social anxiety
Tell me it's okay and just lie to me
I know there's hope, and it's inside of me
I just hope it doesn't die with me
Forget me not
Forget me now until forever
I'll stay as long as you help keep me together
I'll stay forever
Wish I could stay forever (Hold on)
Forget me not
Forget me now until forever
I'll stay as long as you help keep me together
I'll stay forever (Hold on)
Wish I could stay forever (Hold on)

King of It

Love it gets the best of me
No less but I'm a wreck to see
I'm holding it down, I'm keeping composure
I'm keeping it calm, tell me when it's over
The ride's non-stop, the seats stay empty
Time's a cage and both have left me
But if love's a tide, now then I'm a ship
If love could fly, I don't need a lift
If love this would die, that would be a gift
And so love lies, here's the king of it
The moment never left
It's the heartbeat in your chest
To bleeds to believe, and I believe
That it is time to invest
All of moments stuck on rewind
Played back in your mind
It's so contrived to understand
That you look up to the sky
Left you wondering how a love so strong
Can be a prison of emotion when it all goes wrong?
So you default to singing the same old songs
You really think you're last love will be the last one gone
But if love's a tide, now then I'm a ship
If love could fly, I don't need a lift
If love would die, that would be a gift
And so love lies, here's the king of it
Now there's this feeling your chest
That turns you into something you're not
Infatuation, motivation until you forget the plot
It's that feeling in your bones, that tells you to wait
If everything is anything, then maybe it is all fate
Maybe it left you with that love so strong
Although it wasn't meant to be but how can love feel wrong?
It's hard to let go, you hear them, in all your songs
One day it'll be okay, even when they're gone
But if love's a tide, now then I'm a ship
If love could fly, I don't need a lift
If love would die, that would be a gift
And so love lies, here's the king of it
But if love's a tide, now then I'm a ship
If love could fly, I don't need a lift
If love would die, that would be a gift
And so love lies, I'm the king of it
