One of these days when I'll sit thinking;
"Today will be the day least thought out"
We have crossed paths, you've decided to stare into
The blue eyes that are now by your side
Since the moment I met you
Summarizing in haste a time of silence
I swear, I haven't told anyone else
That we hold the world record in loving one another
That's why I waited, with my face pouty
For you to return with roses, a thousand roses for me
Because you know I love those things
I don't care if it's dumb, that's how I am
And it feels surreal that my life should escape me
Imagining that you'll come back around here
Where Fridays, every evening, like always
Hope says, "Be still, maybe today..."
Escaping one night in the tired sun
You asked me to kiss you
With how cheap they are, my love,
What does it cost you to quiet me with one of them?
Six months passed, and you told me goodbye
An agreeable pleasure in this life
There I stood, with my heart in one hand
And in the other the excuses that even you didn't understand
That's why I waited, with my face pouty
For you to return with roses, a thousand roses for me
Because you know I love those things
I don't care if it's dumb, that's how I am
And it feels surreal that my life should escape me
Imagining that you'll come back around here
Where Fridays, every evening, like always
Hope says, "Be still, maybe today..."
And then I started to think
That only the first love is true love
And then I started to suspect
That the rest are only meant to be forgotten
That's why I waited, with my face pouty
For you to return with roses, a thousand roses for me
Because you know I love those things
I don't care if it's dumb, that's how I am
And it feels surreal that my life should escape me
Imagining that you'll come back around here
Where Fridays, every evening, like always
Hope says, "Be still, maybe today..."
