in the mood for love Lyrics

I felt the world shake that very first day

You wrapped me inside the tightest embrace

I had faced in a while

And that look on my face

I was racking my brain

And you looked back confused

I was trying to decide if I could tell you

Shit, I can't put it in music

My fingers hit the strings

Because even if you listen

You might not get what I mean

But it might make sense if I sing

So just know that I missed you

The moment I met you

Feeling you slip through my fingers like the snow

I get it if you don't know what I meant

When I said that I missed you the night we met

But I missed you the night we met

I burned your cigarette just like it was incense

And you don't even smoke

But I missed how your shirt smelled exactly like home

I wrote in the past tense

But that doesn't make sense

Cause you're right next to me

I can see your green eyes

I can still feel you breathe

Shit, I'm so caught up in meaning

My ribcage breaks in two

Because even if I hate it

One day I'll live far from you

And we both know that that's the truth

So just know that I missed you

The moment I met you

Feeling you slip through my fingers felt so slow

So I get it if you don't know what I meant

Wen I said that I missed you the night we met

Oh my friend, in the end

We burnt like a cigarette

But I missed you the night we met

Only a fool would mourn what's in his grips

You're holding my heart in your hands like a picture

An oak tree is waiting to lock up my whisper

I'm only a few years away

Only a fool would mourn what's in his grips

You're holding my heart in your hands like a picture

An oak tree is waiting to lock up my whisper

I'm only a few years away

Only a fool would mourn what's in his grips

You're holding my heart in your hands like a picture

An oak tree is waiting to lock up my whisper

I'm only a few years away

You told me you knew what I meant

When I'd say that I missed you

The moment I met you

Feeling you slip through my fingers like the snow

I get it if you don't know

What I meant when I said

That I missed you the night we met

But I missed you the night we met
