decisions, decisions

we can make this last, we can hold it tight and never let go
we can plant it on the sweet, sweet ground and watch it grow
we can swear our lives to it, we can swear to never let it fall
we can write down what we feel, and post it up on the wall

and we will call it the best thing in the world
all of our favorite things put together and swirled
around and around and around and around
and we can jump in and smile as we drown

i am enthralled by this sudden wave of commotion
all these loud sounds and noises trigger my emotion
and i am in the middle of the crowd staring right at you
knowing miles and miles away you're staring back too

we didn't ask for what we have, and we are denied what we want
and the fact that i fought for you just to let you go continues to haunt
and chill me to the bone, it never ceases to chill me to my fucking bone
but i've continued to be happy through it all, because i have grown

even though i can't articulate the thoughts racing through my mind
i can tell you that whatever it is, it continues to redefine
the things that continue to help me unwind
and i have come to know it, and we continue to intertwine
you are a happy memory now, because i have decided to leave you behind
and it seems to be a decision i will never take back
