Amber hair and sea green eyes
Cast in starlight
Coruscating through the blinds that summer night
A siren's song cast in ivory skin
So radiant, when she laughed it was blinding
And i was just a shadow on the wall
So faint, drowned out by fluorescent lights and haze
You were the center of attention
No one would forget your smile
All the other boys they held your attention
And i was just another average face in your crowd
You were the center of attention
Everyone listened when you spoke
I tried so hard for your attention
But I was forgettable at most
I saw winter in your eyes
And summer came and went with the tides
And the rains from the shoreline
You sent shivers down my spine
The feeling just before lightning strikes
And shakes silence so empty
You'll forget my face and you'll forget me
But I hope I'm worth much more than you can see
But you saw nothing in my eyes
And the mountains rumbled into the night
With the cracks in the fault lines
So was I just a prop to you
I guess that's just fine
