I’m a baby in blue
Mouthing the words on the bus to my favourite song about you

I can sing a perfect parallel of each voice
A parrot to every little note and twist  
Lyrics are stored in my head as neatly as an alphabetically ordered list

But my songs are not as sweet as the deep uneven sound that parts your lips
Getting caught in the disc of my ears, settling into each of the little dips

Ready to be replayed later, so I can tattoo the lyrics onto my conscious
I drink in every note, it serenades me into calm bliss, your song is flawless

I long to learn it by heart
You’re my favourite song
