somebody new

you know me, i laugh and i like to fun
i make light of sad things and i smile when i cry
but when it's just you and me all i feel is heavy

i've been trying for months to make sense of this grief
and the pain in my gut saying that i should run away
well, today i know why

 because there was always somebody else
right at the beginning, the middle and the end

yes, there was always somebody new or somebody old
from your hometown or mine every step of the way
i was losing you

i feel like like a fool waiting around for you
shutting everyone out and ignoring the signs
while you're out for the third time this week

i stay up, i drink wine, and i lie to my friends
i call you six times, it's 5.30 again
i'm just wasting my life away

because there was always somebody else
right at the beginning, the middle and the end

there was always somebody new or somebody old
from your hometown or mine every step of the way
i was losing you

 that's why you wouldn't hold my hand in certain places
or why you avoided certain songs and certain faces
i didn't know that we were hiding
or that you were still deciding
between somebody new and somebody old
from your hometown or mine every step of the way
i was losing you

Onions

your breath smelt like onions today, because we had burgers for lunch and i didn't mind, i embraced it, like it was the smell of home, like it only took me half a second to get used to you you smile and your eyes go all wrinkly and shiny and i can't control my heart every time you do this is so dangerous but also feels so natural, i'm almost drifting slowly towards you, away from the noise, the water's getting warmer and weather's changing too. every single love song i know comes to mind when i think of this beginning have i known you for 20 seconds or 20 years you're making my dreams come true and now that i've met you i don't think i will ever be the same at least i know for sure my body won't you took care of that thanks, by the way i love it.
