Love

You crash into my quiet life

Like a match into a room of fumes

Laughing while the ceiling shakes

Feet on the table

Bed full of shoes

I said

"This is stupid fast"

You said

"Shut up

Lean in closer"

We burned through an entire year

Inside a single October

Why’s it so easy to fall in love

But so hard to let you go?

You are my one and only

The only one who holds my heart

You know

I can tear your picture off my wall

But I still can’t let you go

You are my one and only

The only one who holds my heart (too close)

Your jacket still hangs by the door

Smells like rain and cigarette smoke

Your coffee cup

That stupid chip

Lipstick stain that never spoke

Friends say

"Man

Just cut that string"

Like it’s simple as a broken chord

But every time I try to leave

I’m right back screaming your name hoarse

Why’s it so easy to fall in love

But so hard to let you go?

You are my one and only

The only one who holds my heart

You know

I can drown your mem’ry in this bar

But I still can’t let you go

You are my one and only

The only one who holds my heart (I know)

I can smash my phone

Change my address

Tell all our friends

You’re just a past tense

But every time

The night gets loud

I reach for you

In an empty crowd (hey!)

Why’s it so easy to fall in love

But so hard to let you go?

You are my one and only

The only one who holds my heart

You know

I can set this stubborn heart on fire

But it still won’t let you go

You are my one and only

The only one who holds my heart (too close)

The only one who holds my heart (let go)
