Life's always on play

Today feels a little bit off, a little bit off than yesterday, and a little bit off than the day before yesterday. If only I could replay January, as often as I replay Lukas Graham's "What happened to perfect". If only I could skip to the parts where you were always here And erase the parts where you weren't. If only I could scream "CUT" at the scenes where you start to make my skin itch, And my temper bomb tick, like this sheet I'm lying on. But it feels like we're on different sides of the globe, And I'm always here but you never want to stay, you never want to come home. I wish I could fast foward to the parts where things are okay again, Where I'm sitting next to you, and you're smiling and I'm looking at you Telling you how beautiful you are. And then I could say: "This is perfect Let's pause here." But we're not starring in a movie, this is not a song, and we're not characters in a play This is real life, And sadly it is always on play.
