luck

never tempt fate,

it'll get you nowhere.

i've spent hours,

trying to get rid of my destiny.

i'm tired of pretending

that it's not right there,

that my whole life isn't already decided.

just because i'm lucky up till now

doesn't mean i will be in a couple years.

i know my fate is already sealed,

deep within a book

where it writes my story,

line by line,

page by page,

till there isn't enough ink and blood.

but i can't help but think,

that i will keep getting lucky,

because so far this luck

has just come to me.

it's my melody.

And the wind catches in your hair,

The water's cold
But I'm warm because you hold my hand,

We stand on the dock,
The sun has set,
But I can see your happiness
Even in the dead of night.

The streetlight's on,
The metal is all rusted
And covered in salt,
