What is supposed to be a broken heart is only blissful scars
An elysian memory that never can be ruined
Remaining in my mind, bringing hope for future joinings

It took you two seconds to erase a lifetime of affliction
Just a theory about a never ending game
A joyful thought, a jealousy of burnt out flames

Everything is good, everything is nice
No stress, no press, Jah bless
The inspiration that was needed to save me from distress

I can never listen to jazz without hearing you croon
so whenever Coltrane's coming on I have to push repeat
Everything you said was poetry but now your words are obsolete

You weren't lying when you said 'forever' cause in that moment it was true
No matter who will hold my heart, you'll only need to beckon
I'd trade it all to sit on your kitchen sink again, if only for a second

I' never reached what I wanted to reach, but you've reached me
"You're the female version of him, so effervescent and driven"
The finest compliment ever given

We're not those people who get eachother in the end
You can never stick around, but I cannot be upset
You're the improved version of the best man I've ever met

You're the first cherry blossom rain my eyes ever saw
You're the spark that sat fire to the pylontwinge sky
my favorite hello, my most painful good bye
