How Do You Know You're in Love?

How do you know you're in love?
It's a tricky thing I guess.
When you're a momma bird,
watching your child leave the nest.
Or maybe you're a father,
seeing your son become a man.
Now realizing he doesn't need you
to be there and hold his hand.

This isn't the love I'm talking about,
No not the one, you see...
I'm talking about the love
between you and between me
This love between us,
is a little more tricky.
This situation, it seems,
is a little more sticky.

Seeing you walk by
is just a breath of fresh air
Maybe it's just the way,
you run your fingers through your hair.
I don't know what it is
that keeps pulling me in.
It feels like an adventure,
just waiting to begin.

I can't quite understand,
what makes you so intriguing.
I don't think I'll ever know
what makes you worth keeping.
There's something in your smile,
that just makes me weak
something that makes me
lose all ability to speak.

Darling, I'm telling you
I fell head over heels.
And Darling, I'm asking you
Do you know how that feels?
Do you know how it feels
yearning for something you lack?
Do you know how it feels
knowing they don't want you back?

But how do I know I love you?
How do I know you're unique?
I love your harry potter glasses
that make you look like a geek.
at 3:13 pm,
you're taking pictures looking cute
at 3:13 am,
I'm awake thinking of you.

So ask me again
"what makes me so special?"
Nothing besides the way
you have my heart twisted like a pretzel.
Nothing besides the way,
you make my soul smile.
And nothing besides the way,
I'd chase you for miles.
