Devin Ian Schramm - Falina
Dark brown hair, ocean blue eyes, and skin kissed by the sun
We were in the same class, but I was out of her league
We looked good together in my head, but it was all a fantasy
So here's to all that could've been
Here's to years gone by
Falina, I can't stop thinking about you & your one-of-a-kind eyes
I hope whoever you found out there gives you everything I never could
Falina, to me you'rе always good
To me, you're always good
She playеd the drums, and I played the sax
All of my friends thought we'd make a perfect match
But sometimes, things just aren't meant to be
Cuz what looks good on paper doesn't always look good in execution
But to the mystery of why, there is no solution
So, I'll just move on
So here's to all that could've been
Here's to years gone by
Falina, I can't stop thinking about you & your one-of-a-kind eyes
I hope whoever you found out there gives you everything I never could
Falina, to me you're always good
To me, you're always good
To me, you're always good
To me, you're always good
To me, you're always good
