The Fantasy of You and Me

It's distracting

The rush that I get from the sound of you laughing

And I wonder if maybe there could be a fraction

Of your smile that's meant only for me

We're still strangers

I can already tell my heart is in danger

I'm ignoring the warning that this could be painful

'Cause that smile is all I can see

If this played out like a book scene

You would catch my eye and come over to me

And I would know exactly what to say

Then turning to the next page, you'd ask me what my name is

That's the moment when the entire story changes

In the fantasy of you and me

You move closer

It's all I can do just to keep my composure

And I'm dying to find a way to win you over

So you'll say I'm the best thing that happened to you all day

If this played out like a book scene

You would run up to me as I was leaving

And have me put my number in your phone

Then before I even got home, we'd start a conversation

And we'd both jump in without any hesitation

In the fantasy of you and me

But that's all this is, a reverie

So I'll pretend you don't have an effect on me

But secretly it's nice to dream

If this played out like a book scene

I would skip ahead to the happy ending

And even if it's too predictable

I'd still get the sequel

There's much more to the story

Than this chance encounter, 'cause that would just be boring

In the fantasy of you and me
