Night time
Up in the air
At the fair
Where you wanted to go
On the old slow
Ferris wheel
Stopped at the top
Where nothing looks real
The stars
Started to spin
When you looked at me
You said
“We can still be friends
Close your eyes
Count to ten
This is how it ends”
Headlights
In her eyes
Butterfly tattoo
Too-tight denim dress
Just a mess
It’s for the best
When the stars start again
Is this really happening?
“We were never friends
Close your eyes
Count to ten
This is how it ends”
“Close your eyes
Count to ten
This is how it ends”
