I saw her walk in, leggings just right
Every red flag waved, but I still liked the sight
Had a thousand thoughts that weren’t real polite
But I finally asked her out on a Tuesday night
We started talking like we’d known each other years
She cracked my armor, and we spoke open about our fears
She’d wear those leggings, make my head spin fast
Didn’t know she’d hit me deeper than her familiar past
My head said slow down, my heart said stay
My body had words I can’t even say
I was all in, she was halfway gone
Felt her close, but something felt wrong
I was deep in her world, she was under my skin
She let me in everywhere but where it counts in the end
We never aligned, we never could be
She wanted the moment, I wanted …we
We took a couple trips, chased sunset skies
Pictures looked good, but I could read the look in her eyes
She kept one foot out, kept her walls way up high
Like she liked the heat but deep down hated this guy
My head said slow down, my heart said stay
My body had words I can’t even say
I was all in, she was halfway gone
Felt her close, but something felt wrong
I was deep in her world, she was under my skin
She let me in everywhere but where it counts in the end
We never aligned, we never could be
She wanted the moment, I wanted …we
She’d pull me close, then push me away
Say all the right things but never quite stay
I’d tell myself, “Man, you’re reading into this,”
But that quiet doubt was the real hit and miss
Maybe I saw my past in her face
Tried to fix something time can’t erase
Maybe I loved the idea, I wanted someone to want me
Or maybe I tried too hard so I really couldn’t see
She disappeared like I knew she would
Ghosted me clean, just like I knew she could
Five years gone and it still feels strange
Some names don’t fade, they just change
My head said slow down, my heart said stay
My body had words I can’t even say
I gave her me, she kept her shield
Some things are felt but never healed
I was deep in her world, she never fell in mine
Soul-deep talks, didn’t want to see the sign
We never aligned, we never could see
She wanted the now…
I wanted…it to be!

I’m I the tightest you’ve ever been with?

No, baby…sorry
