A Love Song

[Verse 1: Jason Chu]
I told Katrina I loved her on the phone, we were fourteen
Didn’t know what those words mean
But they sounded like something
Someone serious would say
So I used them like a bandage
To hide away the hurt I couldn’t show to friends or parents
She said it back, the summer passed, she took it back
But I kept on fiending for that feeling, free-falling in love
Garden State was my praise song, 500 Days my drug
Ev'ry new crush, a new rush, new first kiss, now I’m drunk
Dosage up, [?] up, close to overdosin' but
You came through, yeah you came through
From first sight I knew, now my eyes only see you
From that first night that we talked
Until the clock almost hit two
You walked me home through the streets
Of a city that was strange
I didn’t know how I should go, you already knew the way
And you checked out my baggage, but let me carry on
So my heart beat in half notes as I wrote you this song

[Chorus: FUZZY]
I heard a love song
I heard a love song
Ba-dum, ba-dum
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
I heard a love song
I heard a love song
Ba-dum, ba-dum
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum

[Verse 2: Jason Chu]
Your arm was so warm as we rode the upper deck of the bus
To the peak as the city fell asleep
And her sky-scraping light spread below in the dark
We walked through the dock as you shared your earbuds
Now I'm going with the flow, 'cause your soul leads me on
And emotion that I'm showin' is surprisingly strong
I heard you don’t know what you got until it’s gone
But now I know, ever since I saw it I know what I want
You caught me by surprise, like that all-nighter we pulled
Sunrise was so bright after our night out under the moon
Now I wake up to your emojis
Don’t find sleep 'til you call me
My phone died four or five times
I lose track of time when we’re talkin'
I’m all in, no stallin', so please don’t be rough
It’s not a bluff when I say I’m fallin' in love with us
All in, no stallin', you showed me that love is
Not a buzz that I feel, but the care I give off to you

[Chorus: FUZZY]
I heard a love song
I heard a love song
Ba-dum, ba-dum
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
I heard a love song
I heard a love song
Ba-dum, ba-dum
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum

[Verse 3: Jason Chu]
You left, said you couldn’t commit
I tried to push it, said I’d move anywhere that you went
And we both knew that I could give all I have
And you could take it
But it takes two to relate, you turned your back
I had to face it, I'm not mad
I just grieve that we lost what we could have
We played childish games, now we can't take it back
All the things that I said, the gifts you and I sent
All the photographs that we took
Are now just files in my trash
But you showed me what love is
That’s the memory that I kept
How I put my arms around you
As we sat there on those steps
That was love in the air as we shared about our past
And the love I gave to you is not love that I’ll never get back
So this love song is not for you, it’s because of you
You're not the last or the best, but you're the only one of you
And I thank you, I have to, for the time that we spent
You showed me that love grows
Even if you give and never get it back
