You give me something hard and dark,
I’ll make it better and brighter.
Or at least I'll try.
You give me something heavy,
I'll break it down, balance it out.
Or so I'll try.
You show me something sad,
I'll sweeten things up.
You know I'll try.
You give me something salty,
I'll sweeten things even more.
You know I'll try and try.
You give me hard cheese, I'll add soft butter.
You give me salty tears, I'll give you sugar.
You give me sea, I'll be the warm weather.
You know for you I'll try and try and try.
The coun(try) of trying and sweetening and trying againㅡdo you dare visit?
