Chapter 2 - Falling

once upon a time
i was only nine
and once upon that time
i had a friend.

they would al(2)ways laugh,*
they would al(2)ways laugh
along with me.
until* we hit* the end(2).

and now whenever
your name* lights up
on my phone(2)
i fall_(2)
and i fall_(2)*
every time.*
when your name lights up
on my phone
i fall(3)*
just even_ harder
every time.


once upon a minute
we held our first kiss
and once upon that minute
did i let go(2_3)

then you looked at me--
i can't forget the way
you looked at me(2)--
and you said,
'i should have known(2).'

and now whenever
your name lights up
on my phone(2)
i fall_(2)
and i fall_(2)*
every time.
when your name lights up
on my phone
i fall(3)*
and i fall(3)*
just even harder_*
every time.

and i have found(2)
throughout the years
no matter what,(2)*
no matter what,(2)*
it's always you then me,
no in-be-tweens.*

so i fall(2)**
and i fall(3)**
just even_* hard(2)er_*
every time.
