i thought i would have the words today
but all the memes showed up late
the race ain't to the swift but I can no longer wait
fate is getting bored and confused
but true love is made
swiftly, unafraid
with you i never want for more
than just the closing of the elevator door
alone with you i am not crazy i am not poor
i am dumb but do not feel obscure
but baby if it's true
how do you explain
that I am fated by the floor to tie one on in vain
if i could be with you
i wouldn't have to choose
i'd put away my myths and find something true
do not the desperate exclaim
do not the coffee shops remain
does not the edgy die and the milquetoast take its place
the boring have the numbers and the rules
but true love is made
swiftly, unafraid
the doors open, i get off at 12
the clever lines in books stayed on the shelf
the things to make you love me that I could not write myself
there is still more work for me to do
but baby if it's true
how do you explain
that I am fated by the floor to tie one on in vain
if i could be with you
i wouldn't have to choose
i'd put away my myths and find something true
