(Verse 1)

I'm falling in love when we're talking on the phone,

But then we hand up and I start to feel alone.

I can't help thinking

That I'm just about to drown, drown.

Summer of 14

Guess I was fine, but I can't fix your heart

Can we hit rewind?

You said you wanna hold me, but am I on your mind, on your mind?

(Pre-Chorus)

I just don't know what to say.

I hold back my love.

Let's just talk the day away.

You and I, are made for each other.

(Chorus)

You make me feel like I'm living a fairy tale

Now I can see cause you

Lift the veil

I run away but then I look back cause

You do me like that

I tear-up when I make-believe

What could happen between you and me

My love's real

Let's be more than friends, but I hold back cause

There's something I lack.

(Verse 2)

I drove myself crazy, and lost tons of sleep

Wrote a love story, but before I can blink

You two fall in love, my knees start to sink

Your hands link.

(Pre-Chorus)

I'm falling hard to the ground

We can see your love

We all know both of you match

Except one, cause you just can't fool me

(Chorus)

You make her feel like she's living in Neverland

She's Wendy and you're her

Peter Pan

I run away, I don't wanna look back

Cause I'm hurt so bad

My heart breaks when you say her name

All my love

Starts going down the drain, is this real?

I almost lost you, but I made it right

You help me shine bright

(Bridge)

Got your heart breaking when she was playing with your heart and all your dreams

Can't you see how great you are?

Let you open your heart to me, listen quietly

And be your best friend tonight

(Chorus)

You make me feel like I'm living in paradise

I see better when I

Close my eyes

We walk away and we never look back

Walking hand-in-hand

I sit up and I start to think

'Is this real, or is it just a dream?'

I hope it's real, but we can just be

Friends, alright?

I'll call you up tonight

(Outro)

Don't wanna get your heart sailing and drag you down

This just isn't right for now

But when I heard your news, I pushed away my blues

You made me happy that night.

The End
