Rosemary & Thyme

I first fell in love
With the way that you hold your pen
Your handwriting matches
How your hand slips right out of mine
Again and again

You dot your "i"s
The same way that you leave a room
Never in the right place
And almost always too soon

We were almost as sweet as daylight
Almost as soft as sunlight
But we were always falling just short of just right
You were almost mine, almost lemon and lime
Rosemary and thyme

I smiled when you told me your ambitions
Cause they couldn't be more opposite to mine
But no, I'm not dissin' -
Oh honey, I'll listen
And watch the stars in your eyes
Til you see them in mine

You are reasons not to worry
You are breakfast at 10:30
You are clear when things get blurry
But now it's clear that I should've hurried

You were almost mine, almost lemon and lime
Always on my mind,
Thought I'd get it right this time
You were almost mine, almost lemon and lime
Rosemary and thyme
Rosemary and thyme

So here we are,
Beside ourselves with potential
If it's not in the stars,
Does that make it all inconsequential?
What can we force?
Can we change the course ourselves?
Can we deliberate and complicate
And put nothing back on the shelf?

What can I do
To not go back where we belong?
What can I do
To stop writing this kind of song?
What can I do?
Complication, come for me

What can I do
To stop you running from me?

I first fell in love
With the way you hold your pen
Your handwriting matches
How your hand slips right out of mine,
Again and again

We were almost as sweet as daylight
Almost as soft as sunlight
But we were always falling just short of just right
Yeah, we were always falling just short of just right
You were almost mine
You were almost - mine
