In my spell

Calling out your name gives me a special feeling
As if it is a secret between you and me
For no reason at all I think of your face
And your familiar smile in the crowd
Today’s sorrow
Yesterday’s insecurity
All pass as the train breezes past the station

Hugging you gives me strong feelings of paradox
Mixed emotions that I can’t express
Promises and the love I’ve been dreaming of
All this and that I’ve ever known

I can hold you in my spell
Keep you for my very own
My magic will last till the very end

Knowing that you are out in the rain
I wait for you to return, feeling all alone
Thinking of you meeting another
Gives me a sad and insecure feeling

I lost sleep the night you were out late
Imagined you peacefully in your sleep
Tomorrow will come
I should not live in yesterday
You will tell me when the time comes

Thinking of the past brings all the heartbreak
Fearing to lose all that I once had and dearly cherished
All this and that I’ve ever known

I’ll be searching you everywhere
Even if one day you were to leave me
Cross my fingers and wish the day never comes

Sometimes
You leave me hurt and torn
Feeling lost I dwell in sadness
Still
I can’t forget you
Everywhere I look I see you

Hugging you gives me strong feelings of paradox
Mixed emotions that I can’t express
Promises and the love I’ve been dreaming of
All this and that I’ve ever known

I can hold you in my spell
Keep you for my very own
My magic will last till the very end
So that I can
Keep you for my very own
