I don't know what to do You should follow your heart I don't know where to go Sometimes you just need to start

Falling in love on a Saturday isn't getting any easier Take my breath in your hand, dear Toss it up and down It's been a fine night for dancing And to sit and watch the water around Is this an average interaction? No, no, no, no, no, no Let's not make a big deal about it It's not healthy to talk about the cosmos You're doing that thing with your eyes again Hello to the birds in my stomach again Am I being cool, composed, collected? Is it just me or is tension splitting this park bench Is this what normally happens? What the fuck is happening

I could write you a letter You wouldn't have to answer Reality is fickle, but it fell so gently Like a single leaf You gave me confidence Something I've never found You showed me water And how a bird still loves the ground But this is what you want Like a letter lost I understand, but it's still so hard This is where the heart lives Somewhere on the continent Circles softly overhead Sunshine in the morning But this is what you want Like a letter lost While I understand, it is just so hard
4.
Desiring the impossible is just about the worst idea you could ever have The worst idea you could ever have It's the worst idea you could ever have Never felt like this But it happens all the time Everybody cries now and then It's what they call the human experience What a wonderful tendency we have To be euphemistic I can't be your friend I don't want this to end
5.
The End 01:25
If only there were more time Who knows what would happen How does one get the stars to align? Daniel! Don't be so dramatic. It's lunchtime, go make your sandwich

Today was Tuesday And I suppose it was alright It rained in the morning Took a cab out my front door And I tried to take my time But we got lost in Switzerland I wonder how you made out If you can see the moon I suppose it looks the same I suppose it looks the same But who really knows I want to see you happy Like a tulip in the Spring And I would like to hear about your day again Even if it kills me a little bit Circumstances are so devilish I find there's nothing really like feeling at a loss But maybe someday We'll come out of it Yes I know someday We'll be all right again

Puts his arms around her Clings to her like a child But it's not an embarrassment No pity to be found It's something so tender Like a moon melting clouds And nothing is easy It's remarkable To watch it unfold I could never believe Never thought about true love And it's nice not to have to overthink it now Yeah it's November Same month from every year But the day is so perfect Like a crystal, some details don't disappear Some people spend their whole lives Barely scratching the surface Somehow I found a new world And I am scared shitless It's here November November First And it's so beautiful Some things they last for years
