Mine

"This is my song called Mine, and I really hope you like it! When I first wrote it I was kind of 'meh its ok' about it, but my mum - a.k.a my biggest creative adviser and respected lyrical connoisseur - said she thought it was a good'un, so hence it started growing on me. Now I'm actually surprisingly very fond of it, especially the lyrics of both the verses."

- Maisie Peters

"Mine" is an original song by Maisie Peters, uploaded to her YouTube channel on March 27, 2016.

Lyrics
Maybe I've been Maybe I've been away a little too long And baby I Baby, I've seen beautiful things They never start all that strong Just the right kind of weak And I hate the word, weak It supposes you can't stand all alone Well, I can I just know I'd like it a whole lot more To stand a little taller with you Baby, I've been doing some thinking And I think that you and I could Turn into stars that light up the bypass 'Cause you know I love the way your hands Could go right 'round my waist Love the lines on your face Want to draw them with permanent marker Your heart that I'm after Promise to try, keep it safe

So if time runs out and you call over If it all goes south and you need colder

I was never made to dance around a carousel And maybe I'm afraid, 'cause I can't even like myself And I'm just wasting days Thinking 'bout the way your last name sounds Attached to mine

I heard you've been a little busy with her Spending all your latest hours just Playing magnets And I'm not sad, just a little down, a little out and over 'cause I thought your words meant something Each syllable subtle instructions To wait for you But I guess they were just words that I read too much into And we're all losers when it comes down it We just choose the way we're gonna lose best And I accept that I'm just a thought track In your mind when in mine you're my biggest bet And my highest hope, and my greatest find, and my softest blow And my right-hand man, and my very worst plan And my ticket home

I was never made to dance around a carousel And maybe I'm afraid, 'cause I can't even like myself And I'm just wasting days Thinking 'bout the way your last name sounds Attached to mine

I'm a sucker for a boy who I don't really understand And if you let me, I could love you with every inch of who I am And if I couldn't, well, the opportunity would still be grand To try and make you mine

And I write novels about the crinkles when you smile Foolish faith in thinking "he just needs some time" But I've given you months And now I'm running out of time I've saved away for you It's something I could do without But I'm still counting in case you save it too Do you save it too?

I was never made to dance around a carousel And maybe I'm afraid, 'cause I can't even love myself And I'm just wasting days Thinking 'bout the way your last name sounds Attached to mine

I'm a sucker for a boy who I don't really understand And if you let me, I could love you with every inch of who I am And if I couldn't, well, the opportunity would still be grand To try and make you mine
