Homecoming [a song]

Verse 1:
airplanes masquerade as starts up high
we wish on them and wonder why
why our wishes never come true
my wish is just to be with you


Chorus:
be with me for just one dance
nothing serious i promise you
boy you've got me in a trance
i'll be more than crushing when the night is through


Verse 2:
questions sprung so happily
will you spend the night with me
but when it's all over, when it ends
will we be more or less than friends

Chorus

Bridge:
hoping, wishing, even prayer, it only gets you so far
what do you do when you lose your wishing star
exchanging hugs, exchanging texts twice
we broke it once but here comes the ice
hoping, wishing, evan prayer, it's gotten me nowhere
because i still haven't gotten you to say you care
superficial rituals seem so right
all this obsession over one night


Chorus x3

Verse 3:
i finally wished on a real star in the sky
now i sit in doubt, wondering why
why hasn't my wish yet come true?
my wish of just being with you.

Author notes

Written quickly & late at night, so not my best.

Written last week when all my friends were getting asked to Homecoming, and then one person I wanted most in the world to ask me hadn't.
Coincidentally he asked me this afternoon... (:
