SENTENCE MEME inspired by lyrics from jade bird. ( feel free to change pronouns etc. )
SOMETHING AMERICAN
‘ we knew each other when we were very young. ‘
‘ now we’ve become older, i only see photos. ‘
‘ she’s what i thought, something american. ‘
‘ you don’t call me now. ‘
‘ i don’t think too much about you. ‘
‘ i can feel you’re lonely. ‘
‘ i’m not nice like her. ‘
‘ don’t live life with the pages mapped out. ‘
‘ i’m not perfect but then noone is. ‘
‘ we’re all reaching for something american. ‘
WHAT AM I HERE FOR
‘ wrap your arms and hold me still. ‘
‘ i don’t wanna think about what i will. ‘
‘ tell me how no one knows anything in here. ‘
‘ is it any wonder i try? ‘
‘ i thought we were so much more. ‘
‘ if i’m not here to love you, what am i here for? ‘
LOTTERY
‘ i was nineteen and you were twenty-three. ‘
‘ we spent five talking about our lives. ‘
‘ we’d talked like that about a thousand times. ‘
‘ i’m bored of all that. ‘
‘ you used to tell me that love is a lottery. ‘
‘ you got your numbers and you’re betting on me. ‘
‘ you used to say that love is a game. ‘
LOVE HAS ALL BEEN DONE BEFORE
‘ sick and tired of just letting you in. ‘
‘ you’d be more than just a friend. ‘
‘ won’t let you make a fool out of me. ‘
‘ you are good and you are pure. ‘
‘ i need something more. ‘
‘ you are sweet and you are nice. ‘
‘ love has all been done before. ‘
‘ you almost had me for a minute there. ‘
‘ giving my whole life to this love affair. ‘
‘ i’m not ‘gonna sit here and stroke your hair. ‘‘
