lyrics

Loophole
Music, Lyrics, Performance by Thomas Lin

You asked me why, of all times, did I decide to tell you now?
I tried to find the words, but I didn’t know how
We floated on together but still kept apart
‘Cause I don’t know where I should even try to start

I think I liked you, but I never really knew till now
So when the time came, the words were never said out loud
But now you’ve gone ahead and found somebody else to charm instead
While I stood still, watching my heart as it fled

Why do things come up unexpectedly?
Throwing me and you into a loophole
Because all I think of now are the possibilities
Where you and I become two halves turned to a whole

Playing my music, but I have no one to serenade
No matter how many times that I would pray
This lull is killing me, screaming at me, it’s scratching at my every thought
I’m scared of losing everything I’ve got

Why do things come up unexpectedly?
Throwing me and you into a loophole
Because all I think of now are the possibilities
And I’m the only one who’s taking any toll

Staying up late at night to hear your voice
But hearing my echoes instead
My head keeps pounding with each passing minute
So I choose to crawl back into bed

And I dreamt that you’ve gone overboard
And I dove in to carry you to shore
But as I swam with you held in my arm
I feel like the only one that’s sinking

Why did things come up unexpectedly?
Throwing me and you into this loophole
Because all I think of now are the possibilities
Where you and I become two halves turned to one whole

Please don’t leave me
Don’t let go…
