Heart of the Valley

You took me for a walk down the heart of the valley
Wildflowers and oaks graced the grounds
Our hands came to touch and the spark madly ignited
Not knowing it would blaze it all

Oh, it was so damn thrilling
The first love was found
The words from your lips were slipping
"Would it kill you if I kissed you right now?"
Kissed you right-

Your mom found my letters and called us misguided
Your father left you bruised to the heart
A bittersweet secret preserved by the valley
Just two twin flames in karmic wars

We knew we weren't winning
I still held you tight
The words from your lips were slipping
"If it kills me, I'd still kiss you right now"
Kiss you right-

You softly sang songs we would keep
To endure those days without that spring
I didn't know, I should've known, the sirens were too sharp
The waiting hours made things worse
You realized that we had a curse
Time slowly passed, my letters got no answer in return
The winter cold just froze your heart
Our fire couldn't fight it back
Too young to take it, we'd sworn we'd make it
We were a life too soon
My mouth was running out of words
To what you said then, you gave up
A life too soon, a life too soon
We were a life too soon, it would never work

The power you have could make parks into valleys
I'd never seen something like that
And still years later, your memory haunts me
It's too big to brush under a rug

Oh, and I can't begrudge you
The fire was too much
The script had an abrupt ending
But it'd kill us if I kissed you, right?
Kissed you, right?
