It's not love, I'm only smitten

It's not love, I'm only smitten
Cliche when it was written
They say our story's old 'cause we're young
An inevitable disaster
They just wish it happened faster
Cover their ears until the fat lady has su-u-ung

But it's our life, and this is the moment that it's at
And the light in your hair - who would ever argue with that?
These cynical spectators would give anything to be back in my shoes
Or have my eyes for when I'm looking at you

It's only an act, but I'll act my heart out on this stage
It's just a chapter but I'm savoring every page
I'll grow out of it, but it's a story for the a-ages
How I feel for you how you feel for me
This momentary, shimmering symmetry
