chamerion - magnolia Lyrics

You climbed the magnolia tree
Your long legs taller in light wash jeans
And my heart raced faster than you had ever ran before
Leaves and petals weaved into your hair
I knew I'd fall but still was unprepared
And though I need you I wish I could be you more
I want your effortless grace
Freckles like stars across your face
You don't have flaws that sharp enough for me to use
I wish you'd be jealous of me
From the way my lips part to the way that I breathe
But I know it's just that I cannot face my truth
Blue eyes like the glacial lakes
Too still for me to maintain your gaze
Can't cause a ripple in your undisrupted shine
Linger at your hands too long
Uncertainty that I've got it wrong
It's the feeling I'm fleeing from, time after time
(Cheeks are burning leaves are turning
Please forgive me please forget me)
Even if it's just for a moment
Can you stand my side before I hit my coldest
Blocking the sun from our eyes
Barefoot on the gravel as if we were five
Even if I never admit it
Deny it all and swear it to friendship
Would you turn around when I fall behind
To teach me to climb
That magnolia tree
Tears look worst on the kindest souls
And my darkest fears finally unfold
I can't stand your will to see the best in me
Offer your arm but it burns to touch
And to fight for you had hurt too much
So I never learned to climb a magnolia tree
(Please forgive me please forget me)
