“The Exception”
I’m feeling your hands widen
to close the space
between my fingers
we stand
in the night
stargaze and grass
between our toes
chorus:
it’s my favorite time of day
and I’m spending it with you
cause I want you to see me
when I’m wide awake, not dreaming
and maybe nothing’s real
but I know love’s the exception
maybe I’m an optimist
with the wrong perception
I turn
your dad calls
kills the silence
between us
and you kiss me
goodbye
softly
leaving memories
chorus
oh I know
you would never go away
I’ll just hold you here against me
so I know that you are for real
cause this is something from a fairy tale
oh I know
you would never go away
I’ll just hold you here against me
so I know this ain’t a dream
cause sometimes things aren’t what they seem
