14 Lyrics

Early May, I met your gaze

Like lightning struck my house

When I saw you in that bar

My whole world turned upside down

And I know that my grayness needed to meet you

The air was thick with disbelief

Is this happening to me?

The warmest bed, my frosty hands

You thawed 'em so effortlessly

And I loved how your sighs were stitched into mine

I wanna lay you down on silk

And I wanna sing your symphony

And I just want you to know

That I've never felt this way before

I wanna carve you in London's mist

And paint your hues on Paris streets

I hope you see the stars exploded above my cheeks

Since you've been here

You smell like fall and pines

Can't believe I'm saying these words

Surf and wine, copper skies

Maybe I'm not unlovable

Your arms are the Equinox where my winter ends

I feel fourteen, your smile is morphine

The corner store is our wedding hall

I feel fourteen, my skirt is gold seal

All my nightmares are gone

And I'm drunk on the melody your laugh is made of

I wanna give you all my years

And I wanna quiet our what-ifs

I don't need to dream anymore

'Cause you're everything that I've prayed for

But you're always in my mind and there's no way out

Amber rains have drenched silence in this ghostly town

Your name lingers on my lips every time I kneel down

Golden dust coats my tongue when I drink what you give out

Woven deep inside my veins, I can't take you out

Like tree roots that shatter stone and the hardest ground

I chase the flicker of your light when my sky blacks out

And your pulse is still the rhythm my sewn heart cannot live without

But I needed to meet you

I needed to meet you

And even though you're far away

I see you
