Her

I fell in like with you the other day
It's kinda like falling in love
But with all the horrible parts
Cut out of the way

Before I got up so high
That I realized
That I cold not fly

But I knew
If I jumped out of a plane
You would be my wings
But the human body is not very aerodynamic
So we would probably just crash into things

Things like sofas and nightstands
And into trying things that we shouldn't
Because we think we couldn't
Allow our hearts to beat with the same rhythm

It wasn't that either one of us was afraid of commitment
I was just of being with someone that we shouldn't
When the right person comes by

You know the one with the perfect chest and the perfect ass
The one who will always finish your songs
Who will always make you laugh

But baby no one looks like they do
On their on-line dating profile

That smile is from five years younger
Back before we hungered
For adventure

And you were convinced that you were the one that always
Wanted to settle down
And I was the one who always wanted to fly

And you tried to tell me that my lifestyle
was something I should be ashamed of
That something I should try to hide

But baby you were living your own little lie
And I wish I had seen the signs
Like that time
You told me about that patient you had that died
You see, he was only five
And you did not cry
You did not even bat an eye

You see you created a world
Where you could be safe
And I lived in a world
Where I forgot what it was like
To be afraid

I remember that time when we were riding bikes
And I turned around and I saw that look in your eyes
And you were terrified
We were so close to that bus on the inside lane

And I thought to myself, "You know I'm not afraid
Maybe-Maybe I'm the one who's insane"
I use to love street racing as a kid
I use to ride mountain bikes in the pouring rain
And It took someone like you

To make me care about my life again
And treat it as more than just a game
That I thought that we were all gonna lose
One day anyway

And it all ended so quickly
And I remember asking you
"Do you love still me?"
And you said
"Why does that even matter?"

You see you taught me more about God
Than any Christian ever did
Because you were convinced there's no way
That I could be an atheist

And you taught me that love
Is something that will always end
But it's something that we will always see again
Just never the same way twice
And it wasn't so much in what you said
But more in the way that you lied

Cause Love is not something that you can never really remember
But it's also something you never really forget
And those of you who have loved and lost
You will hear me when I say that love
Love is like a sunset
