Paris is always a good idea. Because even though there is a total of 2.234 million people And even though I am more of a turtle than my mother Paris is for lovers And hopefully I’ll be able to find someone to kiss away my sadness And whisper away my loneliness Fight my bad thoughts away And love my sleepless nights to a lull Paris is always a good idea. Because even though I’ve only been kissed a total of 23.6 times And even though I’ve only ever loved one boy Paris is for people And hopefully love is an inherent trait that is possible to find In the darkness of a cafe corner And in the nooks and crannies of a quiet song The lyrics weaving in and out of my dusty heartstrings Dulling my unusually painful sleepless nights Paris is always a good idea. Because even though the ratio of lonely people to happy people is 10:1 And even though people walk past me on the streets without a second glance Paris is for loners Who wander the streets on moonless nights And wish upon sightless stars For someone else to accompany them in their aloneness Mentally throwing themselves to the wolves every chance they get They create worlds and stories to combat their empty beds, Lonely hearts, And sleepless nights.
