WRITING | 漂浮的灯笼

漂浮的灯笼

how'd we end up in heavy talks and sleepless nights  
and seeing your smile every time i close my eyes  
city skylines, Hollywood has eaten me alive 
i’d give this all up if your arms could be around me tonight 

remember all the winter sunsets 
your car, windows all the way down 
and the night we stole the red sky lantern 
10 summers ago at the festival in China town

we always said we wanted to go to Tokyo 
but you can’t see the stars from there 
we used to tell our secrets and talk about our dreams 
lying on a rooftop while you played with my hair 

our love was just a dance between the highs and lows 
caught between our feelings and the things we should have known 
please tell me one more time you think that i am beautiful 
i haven't laughed since i left you, i don't think i am capable 

driving down 99, blaring the song you played for me
you said I wouldn’t understand it but did you understand me?
city skylines, Hollywood has eaten me alive 
i’d give this all up if your arms could be around me tonight

our love was just a dance between the highs and lows 
caught between our feelings and the things we should have known 
please tell me one more time you think that i am beautiful 
i haven't laughed since i left you, i don't think i am capable 

remember all the winter sunsets 
your car, windows all the way down 
and the night we stole the red sky lantern 
100 lifetimes ago at the festival in China town

xoxo, Kat
