You're like a goddess in disguise
I'm drownin' slowly in your eyes
You've known from the beginning that his eyes weren't quite normal. Not when they flashed that strange golden color that nobody else seemed to catch. Though, you supposed you only noticed because he always seemed to be looking at you.
It's like you kill me by design
You're all I desire
He asked you out several times over the course of Senior year. You didn't accept the first few times, simply because you felt like you barely knew him. But you caved eventually. And after a while, it started to feel like a good decision.

I'm drownin' slowly in your eyes
Of course, beyond the times of his overly sweet nature and kind disposition, he still had this unnerving feeling to him. Those golden eyes still bothered you. But you didn't want to ask. It felt too personal, too much of a question for people who were much closer than the two of you.
I could cross the great divide
But only you decide
He, funnily enough, proposed to you on graduation night. You said no, of course. Barely adults and this guy was already asking to marry you? But he seemed unfazed. "As long as we stay together," he said.
Tell me you love me, tell me you need me
Tell me that you'll never ever go think about wantin' to leave me
You thought for a while that you had gone back to being friends. Assumed that after the proposal fiasco, you would stop dating because of the awkwardness. You guessed wrong. When you told him you wanted to start dating again, he broke down into tears.
You're Aphrodite, God, I'm in love
It's time you ascend to your rightful place perched on your throne up above
You found a job a few months after graduation, after deciding that you simply couldn't afford college. He would tell you each payday that you wouldn't have to work after he graduated from college. You told him that he was crazy.
Go and take your seat at Mount Olympus
I'll do anything for you, my temptress
Crazy is a good description for him, at times. He stares at random trees, mumbling to himself. Birds land on him at random, though he doesn't seem surprised. When you wanted to try getting a cat? He found one for you "near the trees," he said.
Even if I'm innocent, I'd confess
Kill to watch you undress
Feel your body close pressed
He's very considerate. Even though you two have lived together since graduation, almost 4 years ago, he still gives you space to change. You tell him it's unnecessary; you're friends after all. He tells you it's for both of your sakes.
Up against mine
Heart beats in time
He sneaks into your bed sometimes when he thinks your asleep.
Feel your chest rise
You're all I desire
And all he does is lay his head on your chest. Mumbling to himself.
You're like a goddess in disguise
I'm drownin' slowly in your eyes
You've seen the contacts in the bathroom. Brown, just like his eyes are. Used to be. Should be.
It's like you kill me by design
You're all I desire
You brought home a girl one day. A friend. He didn't seem to have any friends besides you. You thought they could become friends too. Maybe he'd become more sociable, given how confident he usually is. He did not agree.
You're like a goddess in disguise
I'm drownin' slowly in your eyes
You should have asked before bringing her over, you guess. He didn't have his contacts in, his golden eyes no longer hidden. She didn't seem to notice, but he had you make her leave anyway.
I could cross the great divide
But only you decide
He apologized that night, "for getting so angry," he said. His contacts must be in, his eyes now his usual brown. Normal brown. Covered brown. You wonder why he hid them. A medical condition?
Yeah, we're like
Romeo and Juliet
Your parents called you one day. You'd gotten a job, just like they wanted. But they wanted more. 30 years old and no kids? They wanted to know why. Was it that weird guy you'd been hanging out with in high school? Why were you still with him?
Montague and Capulet
Let them scream their threats
Were you two dating? No? Then why were you living with him? You should find someone nice to settle down with. Someone nice to give them grandchildren with. Why would you deny them this crucial part of their life for this one man?
Let them all object, let them get upset
I'd die right here, right now, with no regrets
He consoled you that night. You'd never had your parents question your life like that before. And over something so little, especially to you. He told you he wouldn't leave. That he'd be there even if your parents wouldn't be.
'Cause I defy your stars and I won't worship Mars
If it's a war they want, I'll disappoint because
They didn't let up. Constant calls and texts, asking you to find someone. Numbers for people they thought you'd be a good match with. He simply told you that you did not need to do what they said. It's your life, after all.
You're my only god, and we don't fight, we love
On the stars above, I swear I won't give up
"If I want to leave you?" He couldn't answer right away. "It's your life," he sighed, "but I won't give you up." His hand over his heart. Possessive, but sweet in a way you needed.
Tell me every single thing you need from me
I'd do anything for you, my deity
Your life seemed to change after that. For better and for worse, in many different ways. Your pay doubled, somehow. Your parents stopped contact. He finally graduated college. But he also became wanted by the government.
Your wish is my command, and I'm your slave, you see?
Give me my sin again, you are my queen
He told you only because you confronted him, scared for his sake when his face was shown on the news. On national television. Why was he wanted? What had he done?
You're like a goddess in disguise
I'm drownin' slowly in your eyes
He took his contacts out first. Golden eyes shining as he ruffled his brown hair. Brown bled into white, his hand sliding down his face, revealing lighter skin. Dark freckles. Long ears.
It's like you kill me by design
You're all I desire
Fey he called himself. A name, and a kind. Come to this world to search for what his heart desired.
You're like a goddess in disguise
I'm drownin' slowly in your eyes
Come to this world to search for the one he saw when he closed his eyes.
I could cross the great divide
But only you decide
He crossed the divide between worlds.
Tell me you love me, tell me you need me
Tell me you love me, tell me you need me
All he ever wanted was you, even if you can never feel the same towards him.
Tell me you love me, tell me
Tell me you love me
He didn't want from you but your attention, your companionship.
Up against mine
Heart beats in time
Feel your chest rise
You're all I desire
To feel you close to him.
You're like a goddess in disguise
I'm drownin' slowly in your eyes
His eyes for so long haunted you in ways that tormented you and soothed you.
It's like you kill me by design
You're all I desire
You're like a goddess in disguise
I'm drownin' slowly in your eyes
But he is the one you wish to stay with.
I could cross the great divide
But only you decide
And so you cross the divide.
