| She said she don’t believe in regrets
|
| Well I regret to inform her that I do
|
| Rainfall on a tin roof, inside I sit and scribble a Haiku
|
| On the napkin that came inside of our takeaway Thai food
|
| It goes: «Our time is always, our season is all year round
|
| This is our secret» for as long as we can keep it
|
| The deepest of secrets that nobody knows
|
| The root of the root, the bud of the bud and so it goes
|
| And the lyrics of a 1000 songs couldn’t paint her picture
|
| So beautiful, she had me from my first conversation with her
|
| See, nobody was ever as clever
|
| And I still can’t figure how they put her together
|
| Sittin' in the room where we first got lost in one another
|
| Just trippin' off the feelin' of together we’d discovered
|
| And I’m reminiscin' on days past, escapin' to Pearl
|
| Before takin' that whole and makin' it two halves
|
| But it was scary to be even this close to a perfect fit
|
| Close your eyes, I promise this won’t hurt a bit
|
| This is the kind of love that inspires the stuff I write my poems to
|
| The kind of love you have to leave, just to come home to
|
| You play with fire and you get burnt
|
| For all the things that I have learnt
|
| And I would love to walk you home
|
| If not the one, then you’re the first
|
| For all the things that I have learnt
|
| And I would love to be
|
| The one to walk you home
|
| Now ain’t it funny
|
| How the ones that you drag all the way through your hell
|
| The same who can teach you how to touch heaven as well
|
| And now it’s out of order and we oughta know
|
| You try to fit a square through a circle and its flaws will show
|
| And it’s gone now, you wouldn’t even know it was there
|
| But you’d get lost tryna navigate the moments we’ve shared
|
| Like when we held each other’s hands and we said goodbye
|
| Tears streamin' out our eyes like somebody had died
|
| Now it’s the day after your birthday and it’s pourin' outside
|
| And I’m catchin' arrow tips with my fingers down the phone line
|
| See, she broke my heart on the river
|
| The trump played last gets the job done quicker
|
| So I’m singin' to my palindromic angel, held her too tightly
|
| Wings got broken and the love got strangled, but
|
| I don’t wanna hold you back, girl, go fly
|
| Conquer yourself, all the corners of the sky
|
| But I hope that you are close by on the day that I leave
|
| This world with hands held, we can close our eyes
|
| And let the second hand go by
|
| 'Cause I wouldn’t wanna not say goodbye
|
| Let you know that you touched my life
|
| And whether I like it or not, I think a part of me will never give up this fight
|
| 'Cause there’s nothin' like you and I
|
| No, there’s nothin' like you and I
|
| But it’s gettin' late in the game now, outcome’s uncertain
|
| These are things that I needed to say before the curtain
|
| So I wrote you the song that you deserve to let you know
|
| You will always be my first and most wonderful love
|
| You play with fire and you get burnt
|
| For all the things that I have learnt
|
| And I would love to walk you home
|
| If not the one, then you’re the first
|
| For all the things that I have learnt
|
| And I would love to be
|
| The one to walk you home
|
| And I would love to be
|
| The one to walk you home
|
| And I would love to be
|
| The one to walk you home
|
| Said I would love to be
|
| The one to walk you home
|
| Said I would love to be
|
| The one to walk you home
|
| (To be the one to walk you home) Said I would love to be
|
| (To be the one to walk you home) The one to walk you home
|
| (To be the one to walk you home) And I would love to be
|
| (To be the one to walk you home) The one to walk you home
|
| (To be the one to walk you home) And I would love to be
|
| (To be the one to walk you home) The one to walk you home
|
| (To be the one to walk you home) Said I would love to be
|
| (To be the one to walk you home) The one to walk you home
|
| Said I would love to be
|
| The one to walk you home
|
| Can I walk you home? |
