lyrics

Your brand new vinyl records
Were scattered all across your floor
And I felt something change forever
When I kicked my shoes off by the door

You got the candles from the kitchen
You turned the lights off in the halls
And posters of your favorite movie stars
Watched us jealously from the walls

And you fell asleep underneath my jacket
The record skipping at its end
And as your chest rose and fell with every breath
I could see the whole world for everything that it was right then

I woke up deep into the night
I dreamed the world was flooding and I couldn't find you anywhere
My heart was threatening to pound out of my chest
Until you put your hand there

You called me by my full first name
That's the moment that I knew
Even if we started over and you wiped my memory clean
I'd always find my way to you

And the orange-red glow from the candles
Bridged the darkness between you and me
And when you brushed your hair back behind your ear
I could see the whole world for everything it was ever going to be
