I tried to stay
To stay away
From you I knew I couldn't do that
From the start
From the start
I saw your the sky was in your eyes
With lightning streaks beaming from your heart.
You shy away...
But it's okay that's what drew me closer to you
Small wonders
Fill your eyes with excitement
So easily amused
How is it we are friends so fast
Both hurt many times from the past
Why do I always want you to stay
I'm afraid for the next day...
Such kiddish personalities
We never worry about what we do
We may be
Little turtles just exploring the secrets of our zoo
I tried to stay
To stay away
From you I knew I couldn't do that
From the start
From the start
I saw your the sky was in your eyes
With lightning streaks beaming from your heart.
*instrumental*
I tried to stay
To stay away
From you I knew I couldn't do that
From the start
From the start
