crash on the couch

Your wordless smile, laughing like a child
You know I'd go the miles just to hold your face in my own hands
You're a refrain, on repeat inside my brain
Every hour of every day
I understand now when they say

That absence makes the heart grow fonder
But distance does the trick just as well
You've made a fool out of my parents' daughter
Every word you say is a secret she won't tell

You understand, don't ask for much, you don't demand
You know, I never planned on memorizing you
You're a soft summer rain, the left side to my right brain
I don't know how, but you always seem to know the perfect thing to say

With you, it's like my soul has a mirror
By that, I mean you might be my twin flame
If I had one wish, I'd want you to be nearer
Since I don't, I'm willing to play the waiting game

My whole life, I've been standing idly by
Just looking out and waiting for someone like you
Now you're here and I just wanna hang out all the time
I'm never worried you might leave, like others do

Can you make me just one simple promise
No matter how life goes, you'll always stay
I think you and I were meant to be, if I'm honest
I just don't know what parts we're supposed to play

Sing me a song, one I'll remember all night long
And make me think of you every single time
Your company's all I want, in any form that it takes on
Oh, I don't mind, as long as you are right beside

I'll crash on the couch, you'll play your music way too loud
We'll fall asleep in the same clothes we wore all day
I'm sick in the head, but you say I'm pretty instead
Somehow I haven't managed to scare you away

I'll care for you forever, that's implied
And I think I know your heart better than mine
Sometimes I'll remember, but I think we're doing fine
If we wait this out, I know we'll be alright
