in the mood for love

I felt the world shake that very first day
You wrapped me inside the tightest embrace
I had faced in a while
And that look on my face
I was racking my brain
And you looked back confused
I was trying to decide if I could tell you

Shit, I can't put it in music
My fingers hit the strings
Because even if you listen
You might not get what I mean
But it might make sense if I sing

So just know that I missed you
The moment I met you
Feeling you slip through my fingers like the snow
I get it if you don't know what I meant
When I said that I missed you the night we met
But I missed you the night we met

I burned your cigarette just like it was incense
And you don't even smoke
But I missed how your shirt smelled exactly like home
I wrote in the past tense
But that doesn't make sense
Cause you're right next to me
I can see your green eyes
I can still feel you breathe

Shit, I'm so caught up in meaning
My ribcage breaks in two
Because even if I hate it
One day I'll live far from you
And we both know that that's the truth

So just know that I missed you
The moment I met you
Feeling you slip through my fingers felt so slow
So I get it if you don't know what I meant
Wen I said that I missed you the night we met
Oh my friend, in the end
We burnt like a cigarette
But I missed you the night we met

Only a fool would mourn what's in his grips
You're holding my heart in your hands like a picture
An oak tree is waiting to lock up my whisper
I'm only a few years away

Only a fool would mourn what's in his grips
You're holding my heart in your hands like a picture
An oak tree is waiting to lock up my whisper
I'm only a few years away

Only a fool would mourn what's in his grips
You're holding my heart in your hands like a picture
An oak tree is waiting to lock up my whisper
I'm only a few years away

You told me you knew what I meant
When I'd say that I missed you
The moment I met you
Feeling you slip through my fingers like the snow
I get it if you don't know
What I meant when I said
That I missed you the night we met
But I missed you the night we met
