Where?

I think I lost time in her eyes.
Yeah, time must've stopped when I caught her gaze.

Where?

I think I lost time in her touch.
The way I could wrap my arms around her and she'd melt right into me.

Where?

I think I lost time back in 2012.
The warm summers where everyone was happy.

Where?

I think I lost time in my first kiss.
In reality it was short and sweet but to me it lasted a lifetime.

Where?

I think I lost time when I kneeled by my grandfather's bedside.

Where?

I think I lost time as I opened up my first set of paints.
Every color smeared across the canvas and it painted a home for itself in my heart.
