-redacted-

Fireflies at midnight
Lightning bugs and lighting bolts
Swimming in humidity
When it's too dark to see, it's my hand you hold
Bare feet on wet grass
Strawberries in a garden patch
Flower crowns on our heads, I'm still finding petals in my bed

Wearing your pajama pants
In the hallway where we always dance
To songs that you can't really dance to
Who cares, we're listening to Graceland Too
Making dinner, driving home
I usually want to do these things alone but
Since we met, I forget how not to share every thought in my head

It started with casual friends
See each other once a year
I smile when you're near
But I don't fear when you leave, I don't grieve
Now we're crossing state lines every single night
When we hug you hold me longer and tighter than anyone else
I'm not sure if I'm even this close with myself

Remembering a memory I made
Kissing girls in closets in the third grade
Practicing for the real deal
Being with you now, that's how I feel
Cause I know this is love but I'm not sure what kind
Everybody's opinions spin through my mind
But when I silence the noise I have what I need
And I need you to know that you changed me, that you saved me

And in 10 years if I can't find somebody else's heart to make a home in
If it's alright with you I'd like to live in yours
And in 10 years, when you've tried your hand with every kind of man
Your house in my heart will open up it's doors

In 10 years
In 10 years
In 10 years
1n 10 years

Until that day, a decade away
Uncertain it'll happen
Until that day, I want to stay this close
But I know it ends
