| When we left the diner and walked into the night
|
| I saw by the 24-hour neon light
|
| The freckles on your arm they were a body of stars in the sky
|
| I kept it to myself, I was overwhelmed
|
| But in the morning light when I watched your sleepin' body breathin'
|
| I came to comprehend
|
| I will begin as a pace that builds into a base so
|
| For a short span in the pulsing world of a woman
|
| That when fully realized
|
| A sleek sobbing sculpture will bloom
|
| Little flaws that mimic the stars
|
| And the belief that ours could exist
|
| Some light years away
|
| Some light years apart
|
| Is enough to make me feel faint
|
| That this world brought me to you now
|
| And didn’t wait
|
| 'Cause it’s all that I wanna do
|
| To love you, to witness together how buzzing we are
|
| How candied, how calcified, how mesmerized and how small
|
| To share in the cosmic joke, to fall to a thousand floors and laugh
|
| To soar, to take out and soar through the strange things we do
|
| Baby, you’ve got little flaws like me
|
| You try to be hard but I know you’re a softy
|
| I thought you were tough up until you stopped me
|
| From pluckin' that tiny white flower from the earth
|
| Honey, I’ve got little flaws just like you
|
| I’m stubborn and fresh and hot-headed, too, and I
|
| Missed six pitches in the batting cage
|
| I threw my bat in a fit of rage
|
| But it’s all that I want to do
|
| Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
|
| In the dark where we project Varda films on the wall
|
| The red light where we kiss beneath the golden arch
|
| In the city square where we looked through the scope
|
| At Jupiter’s glow and temple off Park
|
| Where we tuck our jeans into our socks and
|
| Move through the pastel pink fields of wheat
|
| Move through the pastel pink fields of wheat
|
| Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
|
| 'Cause it’s all that I want to do
|
| To love you, to witness together how clumsy we are
|
| How candied, how calcified, how mesmerized and how small
|
| To share in the cosmic joke, to fall to a thousand floors and laugh
|
| To soar, to take out and soar through the strange things we do |
