lyrics

i remember the first time i looked up at you
your hair was blowing in the breeze
when you combed your fingers through your wisps of hair, i knew
that i wanted your shadow arms around me

i remember when you gave me a quick glance a month ago
i remember it like it was yesterday
the dance of light your opal-coloured eyes left me entranced
you're the perfect girl in every way

so i was thinking if you wanna grab some lunch some day?
beats some child's score in pinball at the arcade?
we'll have a lovely time, and we'll somehow end up at mine
we'll snuggle, watch bad movies, drink a nice refreshing tea
i don't ask for much, i just enjoy your company

goodwin morin, hold me in your arms
make sure i am away from god's that harm
i love too much of you that it is hard to keep it concise
who knew ancient shadow magic was so warm and nice

i remember the time that you pitched at the lovers
you seemed a little dazed by it all
you fumbled with the ball as i gossiped with the others
of my crush that is 7 feet tall

i remember when two of my friends left you charmed
the envy inside of me grew
then i stepped up to the plate, and i saw in your eyes
that i may have charmed you too

so i was wondering if you wanna meet up after the game
we’ll go to a diner, you’ll order pizza and i’ll order the same
we’ll walk around all night, holding hands under the streetlights
we’ll walk down to our buses, as the city starts to wake
end the night off with a parting hug, that neither wants to break

goodwin morin, hold me in your arms
make sure i am away from god's that harm
i love too much of you that it is hard to keep it concise
who knew ancient shadow magic was so warm and nice

and i wish i had more time to know you
listen to your words that sound like gold
maybe it’s too late, maybe you
found another date, leaving my phone cold
but i guess it’s fine, i guess it’s fine

during the siesta i went up to seattle
to see a friend of mine from long ago
i saw you on the side of the street, staring at the gravel
but i felt too awkward to say hello

so i walked a different path than the one that gloogle maps said
i was 7 minutes late, and the coffee tasted like dread
as i remembered that night, with your opal-coloured eyes
you summoned five arms just for me, just to say goodbye
i wish that i had done better to stay in your life

goodwin morin, you held me in your arms
i was surrounded by your pure unrelenting charm
looking back, i guess one hug wasn’t enough to suffice
who knew ancient shadow magic was so warm and nice
