We kissed in the shadows of dorms
Standing in the crunchy wreckage of magnolia trees
Behind closed lids
Deep in the dream

Trying to believe that the one we were holding
Was the one we wanted
Struggling because the truth was kept from us
By our own over protective hearts
Lying because they must

Deep in the oil spill of night
When it didnt matter if eyes were open or closed
We continued to kiss reckless
Hoping through some luck we would suddenly find comfort
Even in the awkwardness of nakedness
We could only come so close

When day broke across our faces
We lay restless in silence
Feeling sheepish and immature
For believing in hearts
That are afraid to hurt
