Another party with my mother. Another party at a rich man's house as my mother's new client. Another boring party pretending to like my mother's new client's ugly son.
"So, I said to the guy, 'At least I can calculate how to balance scientific equations!'."
I fake smiled and forced a laugh, "Amazing, he sound so incompetent." I sighed and looked towards the door. I couldn't believe my eyes.
There I was again tonight
Forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old tired, lonely place
Walls of insincerity
Shifting eyes and vacancy
Vanished when I saw your face
All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you
You looked at me with a look that seemed familiar, as if you knew me but couldn't put my name. Oh, boy, could I put many many names on you. Then you come towards me, and I'm still standing with mouth-breather here, ironically, when he sees you he runs. I need to ask him his name...if it's anything to do with 'Harold' I'll die of laughter.
"Duncan." I say quietly
"Princess! Long time no see, eh?" He smiled at me and memories flooded.
"Long time no cheat?" I retorted, it was...what's the word...enchanting to see you once again.
Your eyes whispered 'have we met?'
Crossed the room, your sillohuette
Starts to make its way to me
The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks
Like passing notes in secrecy
And it was enchanting to meet you
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you
We walked to the balcony in our black tie clothes, the best I've seen you in before, when my mother found us.
"Courtney, darling, time to head home."
I looked up at you and you smiled and kissed my forehead, later I told my mother you were the client's son. I couldn't help but smile the entire way home.
This night is sparkling
Don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck
Blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you
Time passed as I lay in bed, "Is he in love? Who? How?" Every question in the book keeping me awake, even though I know I shouldn't care. I now wish you would be your delinquent self and show up at my balcony, and at that moment I could have sworn I saw green and I got up out of bed.
The lingering question kept me up
2 AM, who do you love?
I wonder till I'm wide awake
And now I'm pacing back and forth
Wishing you were at my door
I'd open up and you would say 'hey'
It was enchanting to meet you
All I know is I was enchanted to meet you
I wonder if you could see, see the way I'd act after I left. Now I just need to find you once more...I started pacing at the thought.
This night is sparkling
Don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck
Blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew, ooh
I never want to forget finding you again. And I want to look forward to finding you once more.
This night is flawless
Don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck
Dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you
Oh Lord, please, please not make this the end. He already left me many times before, and found me every time. Please let him find me again! I can't stop thinking about you, Duncan, I need to see you.
I saw green again.
Please don't still be in love with her.
Please don't have 50 billion girls after you.
Please just want me. As much as I want you.
This is me praying that this was the very first page
Not where the storyline ends
My thoughts will echo your name
Until I see you again
These are the words I held back as I was leaving too soon
I was enchanted to meet you
Please, don't be in love with someone else
Please, don't have somebody waiting on you
Please, don't be in love with someone else
Please, don't have somebody waiting on you
I'm going insane wondering about you, it's now 3 A.M. and you're not leaving my mind. I can spend eternity wondering if you wonder about me too...
The green flashed again.
This night is sparkling
Don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck
Blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I smiled at my imagination, knowing you're not there, but deep down believing that you're back for me. Like Rapunzel waiting for her prince, or Juliet for her Romeo. Please come back for me. Like my Courtney self for you. Duncan.
This night is flawless
Don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck
Dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you
Then the green flashed again, then black, then the pale of your face. I was sure my mind was playing tricks on me, but sure enough you're standing on my balcony in your bad boy leather jacket and ripped jeans. I open the door and you say, "Hey."
Please, don't be in love with someone else
Please, don't have somebody waiting on you
