Falling in denial

Silly small crush in daylight

it’s all good until I ignite

all the reasons this isn’t real

here’s proof this is not what I feel

The way he cherishes his mum

though his music taste is um –

it’s a passion, not a scam

he talks about it till 2am

honestly I’d pass an exam

if he’d tested me on his

interests and business

I’m so sick of all this golden shit

there is no way, I will admit

I fell for him a little bit

damn here it goes, now I said it!

Silly small crush in daylight

it’s all good until I ignite

all the reasons this isn’t real

here’s proof this is not what I feel

The way he drives when picking

me up the butterflies start kicking

just like him when he mocks me

about everything we disagree

on, for example the guys who hit

on me, banana split and my outfit

I’m so sick of all this golden shit

there is no way, I will admit

I fell for him a little bit

damn here it goes, now I said it!

Silly small crush in daylight

it’s all good until I ignite

all the reasons this isn’t real

here’s proof this is not what I feel

The way he narrates stories I can’t tell

if they are true or made up well

he’s not funny but we laugh

like children on a playground

– my favorite place on earth

if only I could photograph

this feeling before found

his time not worth

I’m so sick of all this golden shit

there is no way, I will admit

I fell for him a little bit

damn here it goes, now I said it!

Silly small crush in daylight

it’s all good until I ignite

all the reasons this isn’t real

here’s proof this is not what I feel
