Girls Like You

Met you in that crowded room

Winged liner

Nervous laugh

Soft perfume

You said

"Is my hair okay?"

I said

"You look like you could bend the day my way"

Girls like you

Are the kind I fall into

Every shade of brave and new

My heart beats loud for you

Girls like you

Write my whole world in a different blue

I see your truth

I see you through

My love runs loud for girls like you

Late night on your bathroom floor

Pins and lashes

Dresses all over the door

You practicing your favorite pose

I’m zipping up your back

Kissing your shoulders

Saying

"Go"

Every name you had to shed

Every word that left you scared in your bed

I know the weight

I hold your hand

You’re not a phase

You’re a whole damn plan

Turn the mirror to the light

See the woman I’ve been seeing the whole time
