Fortune Cookie

Walking past, you look alright,
Your friends laugh but it’s there in your eyes,
I can tell you just what’s wrong,
You’re living a life that’s made of lies,

Because you don’t love her,
Baby, you never have,
Let me read you future,
Let me tell you where you’re at,

You’re at the wrong end of the universe,
Got the wrong end of my smile,
I wish you’d glance my way,
Every once in a while,
I don’t really understand what I have to do,
To make your fortune cookie say,
‘She loves you’

Twelve o’clock, and it’s late,
You’re still awake, trying sort out your head,
A hundred texts and no replies,
‘Cause you don’t care what it is she said,

You don’t understand,
What your heart’s tryin’ to say,
You could call me up,
And I’d make it all okay,

You’re at the wrong end of the universe,
Got the wrong end of my smile,
I wish you’d glance my way,
Every once in a while,
I don’t really understand what I have to do,
To make your fortune cookie say,
‘She loves you’

And then when she starts a fight,
And you’re trying not to cry,
When I put my hand on your shoulder,
And say “Everything’s alright”,
When you turn to me and say,
“Nothing right’s left in the world,
Because I think I went and asked,
The complete wrong girl,

Was at the wrong end of the universe,
When I first saw your smile,
Kept thinking ‘bout you,
And have been for a while,
I didn’t understand what I had to do,
And then somebody told me,
‘She loves you’”

(And there has to be a key change here... :P...)

At the wrong end of the universe,
Got the wrong end of my smile,
Seeing you glance my way,
Every once in a while,
Now there’s nothing I have to do,
To make your fortune cookie say,
“She loves you”

I love you

Nice verse, and especially the ending Katie. I always love the special little touches that add real warmth to poetry and song
