I Love You

Heart in my throat
Ready to run
Sweat on my palms
Eyeing the door
Surely I'm dying
But as it seems

I love you

Sat on the water
Watching the sun
On the horizon
I saw what was coming
Considered lying
Instead I said

I love you

And I didn't plan to
And if you'd touch me I'd let you
I love you

I tried my best
To swallow the words
Tested them quietly
Thought you hadn't heard
You turned around
Sounded them out
I love you

And I didn't plan to
And if you'd touch me I'd let you
I see it played out in clear view
Lights are all brighter above you
Watching myself like I'm not me
Spinning around like a movie
Catching my breath and it hits me

I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

I'm not even scared
Not anymore
If you left me tomorrow
I still would be sure
That this was important
Middle, end, and before

I loved you
