May Lyrics by Drew Hersch

sad boy summer

2020

[Verse 1]
Never knew what it was like
To have someone see my eyes
As a safe place
You said the same thing

Never thought that I could find
Peace and quiet from my mind
Oh, you changed me
Broke down the line

[Chorus]
Every day that I lived before you came my way
As empty as the bottle that took away the pain
Never felt a feeling in all my waking days
That got on the level of what you said in may

You seem sweet and extremely nice
Lеt's meet sometime and give it a try
Fifty milеs away and my parents think it's crazy
Never been okay but this is amazing

January, February, March and April
They were all okay
But nothing could compare to the day
You stole my heart in May

Haven't even met yet
I was kinda desperate
But I knew for sure
I couldn't fake these feelings for this incredible girl

May
We met in May
You came my way
Oh, May

[Verse 2]
May I take you to my heart?
Show you where you're hidden
Not too far

Say, since we've made it in this far
Go to where your file cabinet starts

Hey, you seem like you'd be good for me
Wanna meet by the sea?

Smell your hair cause I'm a little uncomfy
Shoulda just kissed your cheek

Didn't know summer loving could ever feel this way
Thinking "L word"
Been one day

Look, your friends can't stop their PDA
Time to make a move
What do you say?

Hmm, coulda kissed you slow
But fifteen tells you peck and go

Hmm, should I make you smile?
Or should I just keep on sitting here for a while?

First kiss made us wanna die
Wasn't even real
We just sat there eye to eye
We'll get there another night

Time is flying, passing by
Come to my place
We can sit down, talk about life
Maybe finally do this right

Oh, oh, my mind is changing
Rearranging
Getting in shape to lift you up

Oh, oh, my heart is racing
No more faking
I think I'm in love

But, hey, Ima take my time
Take it real slow, don't cross the line
Wanna be together for the rest of our lives
Ima take that love and keep it in a hiding spot

(Spot...)

[Chorus]
Every day that I lived before you came my way
As empty as the coffin that lays our story dead
Never felt a feeling in all my waking days
That got on the level of what I said today

I love you but you know I'm in pain
And when you're not with me on a hella bad day
Can't reach through the phone and give you a kiss
And that's all I've ever wanted so let's leave it at this

Time to call it quits
