“She is sugar, curiosity, and rain.”

“It makes you want to cry, the simplicity of it, the smallness of it. You have worked so hard for a life so grand.

And now all you want are the smallest freedoms. The daily peace of loving plainly.”

“Be a little kinder than you have to.

Do not accept an evil you can change.

Always do what you are afraid to do.”

 “But to love someone. To care for them. To throw your lot in with theirs

and think, Whatever happens, it's you and me.”

“You're an idealist and a romantic, and you have a beautiful soul.”

“I like the way you sound in the morning, we're on the phone and without a warning,

I realize your laugh is the best sound I have ever heard. I like the way I can't keep my focus,

I watch you talk you didn't notice. I hear the words but all I can think is "We should be together".

Every time you smile, I smile. And every time you shine, I'll shine for you.”

“If you could see that I'm the one who understands you, been here all along, so why can't you see?

You belong with me, you belong with me. Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans,

I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be. Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself

"Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town.”

“One step, not much, but it said enough. You kiss on sidewalks, you fight and you talk.

One night he wakes, strange look on his face, pauses, then says "You're my best friend".

And you knew what it was, he is in love.”

“There's a chain 'round your throat, piece of paper where I wrote "I'll wait for you".

There's a key on the chain. There's a picture in a frame. Take it with you and run,

like you'd run from the law. Darling, let's run, run from it all.

We can go where our eyes can take us, go where no one else is.”

“Cause the sign on your heart said it's still reserved for me, honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?

Shirts off, and your friends lift you up over their heads. Beer sticking to the floor, cheers chanted,

cause they said "There was no chance, trying to be the greatest in the league". Where's the trophy?

He just comes running over to me.”
