Well we fell in love on 8th&Ocean
at a time when I was wide open,
and we were wild and free
without a care in the world.

Sangria and Coolers,
well weren't we the coolest,

and I was the rudest and
you were the most beautiful
thing I'd ever seen.

Remind me and remind me
a couple more times
how far we've come
to get where we are.

Oh tell me, baby girl, how
often must I apologize
and fall to my knees before you
surrender your pride?

How often have I cried
and how often have I tried
to simply make things okay
again

while sacrificing everything

and gaining nothing.

Well how often do you cry
and how often do you try
to do even half of
what I commit
to every day of this shit?

Oh honey, oh honey

that delicate amber
dripping so sweetly in
torrents

how I'd love to be the comb.

Oh honey, oh honey

I'm tired of being on
the receiving end of the sting,

when all I'd like to be is
petals reaching outward
awaiting the sun.

You said this wouldn't go far
oh god, how you let me try so hard
to simply hold things together.

I guess I'm just fooling the world
and maybe you fooled it better,
when my goal was to hold you close
and your goal was to get away.

Well here we are getting closer,
and here you are getting away,

Well is there a way out of that tower?

Rapunzel let down your hair
and let me be there
to scale those walls you've built
and come to your rescue.

But you're no damsel in distress,
and here on 8th&Ocean there's no
fairy tale ending.
We fell in love on 8th&Ocean, where tidal waves were breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Wow, darling. this is... incredible. :) It flows nicely, and while the main 'idea' never changes, the topic does, and it only seems to bring the reader farther into the world you've created.:heart:
