Song language: English
The Champion of the East Bay |
| I painted the wings on a butterfly |
| I painted a portrait based on your design |
| Began with the eyes and some measured grace |
| Tried keeping the colors within her constraints |
| Just as I was done, they whisked her away |
| Like she was the champion of the East Bay |
| To see her again, I’d do anything |
| If she had a song, I’d sing it every day |
| And I don’t know why I feel so bold |
| Chasing down a thing that I can’t hold |
| As if it would somehow make me whole |
| I caught you like a cold |
| If I wrote a song, brittle and brave |
| With so many words I don’t know how to say |
| I finished a draft and threw it away |
| If this is the end it seems like such a waste |
