I kissed a girl with a broken smile;
nothing could come near.
She carved it with a pocket knife;
slit from ear to ear.
And she wears it like her favourite scarf;
it keeps her from the cold.
So I told her its only woven by
her enemies of old.

hiding in the dark
a retreat to solitude
the trees hold my hand

If my teardrops were wishes
life would be filled with the sweetest of kisses.

I remember the exact second I fell in love with you.
Totally.
Completely.
Unconditionally.
My entire being, my heart, rejoiced.
Time stood still.
In a second, I looked into your dark, alien-like eyes.
It's like I could see your soul.
In that second, I fell in love with you hard.
Welcome to the world my sweet, sweet boy!
