Belle Isle

I found myself in a new city I met you again fortuitously And you quickly put yourself into my sights I fell so hard my friends swore I was blind And now I'm lovesick and sunburned And summer's only beginning I've done many foolish and hurtful things Twisting myself up into the sheets with guilt And I've let loads of men into my life Who smothered me with jealousy and pride But you seem so cool And I'll bet you do make me feel like a lady I wish you would hold me in your arms Like the night we made out on Belle Isle I know there won't always be fireworks But we saw them that night for a while I know that I'm very new in town And I'm so scared my past will run me down for good But when I see you looking back at me I think you see the girl I wanna be And for now this bitter earth is suddenly worth all the trouble We danced to that song twice in a row and I can't let go all that easy --- Belle Isle - Anna Burch
