I never saw a reflection more true
before the day I saw myself in you
a love, separated by miles of sea
call it long-distance
but we call it a new journey.

and now I’m watching you, watching me
from beyond places that I believe in
and as I hear your way with words
I lose where mine have been
its like every page we took
was from a fairy tale picture book…

I’d forgotten how happy we’d looked.
I’d forgotten how happy we’d looked.

I never heard your voice clearer
before I read the lipstick on the mirror
a smudge, in fade-resistant pink
call it eternity
but it felt like a blink.

and now I’m watching you, watching me
from beyond places that I believe in
and as I hear your way with words
I lose where mine have been
and now I’m watching you, watching me
from beyond places I believe in
and as I hear your way with words
I lose where mine have been
its like every page we took
was from a fairy tale picture book…

I’d forgotten how happy we’d looked.
I’d forgotten how happy we’d looked.
