the gambler

we were barely eighteen when we crossed collective hearts
it was cold, but it got warm when you fell across my eye
and then you turned, put out your hand, and you asked me to dance
i knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight

i swear, when i grow up
i won't just buy you a rose
i will buy the flower shop
and you will never be lonely
even if the sun stopped waking up over the field
i will not leave, i will not leave until it's our time
so just take my hand
you know that i will never leave your side
