Melancholy's Mistress - Soulmates (For a Second) Lyrics

So the thing is
I fall in love like it's an olympic sport
And I go for gold
But I always fall short
So, maybe I've got the wrong definition
But I thought
When your toes curl
And your eyes get wide
When you take a deep breath
Before you say hi
And then you mutter
What's up f*cker
"Ya, I don't know why I said that either"
I thought
Love was when
You stay up all night
And share your stories
Until the sunrise
But if that's what love is
Then why didn't we make it?
So maybe we were
Mmmmmm

Soulmates for a second
The stars aligned
It was heaven
We saved each other
You're my reverend
But forever was over in a second
Soulmates for a second
My 11:11

I made a wish
And you came true
A small-town sweetheart
With eyes bright blue
Sharing cotton candy skies
Feelin' love at new heights
A Thousand Miles Between Us
Playing games on the phone lines
And I'd put you in my pocket
Like a face in a locket
Keep you like an oath
Hold you real close
Trust you like a promise
Til we had to be honest
Bout the way that we felt
And the cards we were dealt

We were
Soulmates for a second
Our paths collided
But went different directions
Misaligned but I thought I'd mention
That I loved you
I loved you every
Soulmates for a second
Soulmates for a second
Misaligned but I thought I'd mention
That I hope to
I hope to see you in heaven

I'll wait at the pearly gates
Count my blessings
Til we embrace
Think about your angel face
And the memories of those sweet summer days

Soulmates for a second
Every moment was well spent
I learned from you like a tutoring session
But forever, well
Forever was just a lesson
