My Rival Looks Pretty Tonight

This is inconvenient
There you are across the rooftop
Right on time
Moon behind you, wind around you
Looking far too good tonight

I rehearsed something clever
Something cold that I could say
Then you pushed your hair behind your ear
And I forgot it anyway

We're supposed to fight
I know
I know
You're supposed to leave
I know
I know

So why am I noticing
The way the moonlight catches in your eyes?
My rival looks pretty tonight
And that's becoming a problem

I'm trying to remember
All the reasons I should stop this
You smile, I lose my place
You move, I hesitate
My rival looks pretty tonight
This really isn't helping

You step closer, I step backward
Neither one of us attacks
You say something about surrender
I don't hear the second half

Maybe it's the hour talking
Maybe I'm just losing sleep
But enemies shouldn't make it
Quite this difficult to leave

We're supposed to fight
I know
I know
You're supposed to hate me
So I've been told

Then why do you keep looking
At my lips instead of where my hands might go?
My rival looks pretty tonight
And that's becoming a problem

I'm trying to remember
All the reasons I should stop this
You smile, I lose my place
You move, I hesitate
My rival looks pretty tonight
This really isn't helping

Maybe tomorrow we can go back to normal
You on your side, me on mine
Maybe tomorrow I'll remember I'm angry
But we're both still here
And it's almost midnight

You could leave, I could too
Neither of us moves
My rival looks pretty tonight
And I'm done calling it a problem

I've tried to remember
All the reasons I should stop this
You smile, I close the space
One breath, no more mistakes

My rival looks pretty tonight
And maybe I should tell her
My rival looks pretty tonight
Maybe she already knows

We're supposed to fight
I know
Tomorrow
