one oh seven three

The code for my bike lock is 1073 cause it kinda almost spells love.

And somehow I wish that your name and mine would be the same.

But your heart is as locked up as my good old bicycle.

And I have yet to figure out which combination works best.

 

I sit most of the day and scribble on this old piece of paper.

An entire page of little hearts surrounding your full name.

And I’ll admit; I’ve imagined having your last name instead of mine.

Rather pathetic, seeing as we’ve never even really had anything.

 

I wish I could go back to about the seventh or eighth grade.

And use a marker on the hand that would eventually hold yours.

‘I heart heart heart so and so’, or maybe even 1073.

But there’s a lot of things I wish for, like the code to make you love me.

 

It’s amazing how four little numbers can say something I’ll never hear.

I sometimes wonder if your combination is anywhere near similar.

What a wicked, mangled twist of fate that would be.

Two soul mates with no clue, matching bike locks all along.

 

The code for my bike lock is 1073 cause it kinda almost spells love.

And somehow I wish that your name and mine would be the same.

But your heart is as locked up as my good old bicycle.

And I have yet to figure out which combination works best.

 

I’ll show you mine if I can peak at yours.

I’ll tell you mine if I can listen in on yours.

I’ll give you mine if I can borrow yours.

I’ll do just anything if I can be something.

 

So let me scribble your name on last time on this piece of paper.

The same one I use to help me remember my lock code.

And now whenever I need a refresher for my memory.

I’ll see your name and it’ll all come rushing back to me.

But your heart is as locked up as my good old bicycle.

We’re the perfect combination, but of what exactly?

I’m just a girl who’s hopelessly devoted to a fantasy.

And you’re just a boy who could never love such a hopeless romantic.

Such a plain girl with a hopeless dream and bike lock code.
