(these were written for some music when ray had to write a song for his music class.. the request was for it to be poppy, so forgive me the cliches...)

freeze frame the moment
and take a step back
is this what you wanted
or am i way off track

because you're smiling at me
with that look in your eyes
i'm willing to be yours
even if just for the night

standing there in your kitchen
your face close to mine
i recognize that look
and the shiver down my spine

the clock seems to stop moving
the lovely scene of cliche
my hearts running on empty
as you turn and walk away

chorus:
you're so close and yet so far
my broken heart is bleeding
patched up by thoughts of you
hope seems so misleading

(still the chorus:)
but then i find myself
here wishing for a chance
that maybe you will see this
our temporary romance

more than i expected
but less than i'd hoped
my mind is led astray
by the words that you wrote

if i'm being deceived
why does it feel so right
being here with you
even if just for tonight

(chorus)

your confusion
helped you play your part
my vulnerable
defenseless heart
our own quickly fading
amorous art

sitting there on your sofa
your face close to mine
i recognize that look
and your content sort of sigh

the clock seems to stop moving
this lovely scene of cliche
my hearts running on empty
as you smile and turn away

(chorus x2)

i'm so close and yet so far
your broken heart is bleeding
patched up by thoughts of me
hope might be misleading

but then you find yourself
here wishing for a chance
thinking maybe i see this
our temporary romance

we're so close and yet so far
our broken hearts are bleeding
patched up by thoughts of love
hope please don't be misleading

but then we find ourselves
here wishing for a chance
perfection without words
our temporary romance
