A View Like This - Gretta Ray

Pretty face in the photograph

So prepossessing, do you mind if I ask

How’d you get to look like that?

Pretty face, we met last week

Made your way toward me from your side of the street

Held my gaze a tad too long

What’s going on with me?

Pretty face came out of the blue

Who would have thought that I’d be tethered to you

Though I’d set out to hold my own

The armour fell when you got me alone

Easy to say these clichéd lines, but

None will do you justice when I try to define you

I know I was not delusional

Only a fool caught up in the visuals

Here I am, wading into the depth

Of my own shallow thought courses

Didn’t hurt to test the waters, does it?

Some call it morally wrong

To base your loving solely on

A first impression or a double take

But this is a mistake I want to make

Pretty face, you smell so good

Just another trait that had me hooked on you

Sent to haunt me through the night

Your cologne, my kryptonite

How I love it when you say my name

Though I’ll ponder on the notion of you calling me baby

Maybe it’s just your divinity

Making me stay within this vicinity

Not a lot of time left of the night

You’ll be a world away, come on and lay it

We aren’t the same, the same forever

So for now hold tight

Tell me when we’ll ever see a view like this again

I never thought that one could love to feel this flawed

So seize the day

Without a need to tell me you were thinking the same thing

Harmless, skinny love’s my favourite kind

So read my mind

Read my mind

Not a whole lot of time

Left of the night

You’ll be a world away, come on and lay it

We aren’t the same, the same forever

So for now hold tight

Some call it morally wrong

To base your loving solely on

A first impression but I put this down to fate

So it’s a risk I’ll take

Tell me when we’ll ever see a view like this again

I never thought that one could love to feel this flawed, oh honey

So seize the day

Without a need to tell me you were thinking the same thing

Harmless, skinny love’s our favourite kind

Woah, a bit of harmless, skinny love’s our favourite kind

So read my mind

Please read my mind
