lyrics

Para Ti


You, you don't even know what you do
to me--but, baby, I want to try and make you see.
I don't know what you've been told
but, baby, lovers like us, we ain't meant to be alone.
Don't listen to what your friend said
no, not what your stupid friend said.
She don't know any flame grown old,
she only knows the flicker and the flash
only what's beeping on the dash
but, baby, I've got that kind of love that lasts
that stuff you thought was just a thing of the past
but o no no.

O, fire, don't die soon.
I just want to bask in this bliss honeymoon.
Let us maintain. Yes, let us refrain
from any unnecessary drama
let us not strain.
And I'm feeling like you feel the same.

Cool like the breeze and warm like the hearth.
Had to have lost to know what it's worth.
So enter the onslaught of corny clichés,
but if it's true then it's true--why shouldn't we
do what we do.
Well I'm in love with you
and I don't care who
tries to sway us with their blues.

If they're self-righteous, they can't see
no, they're comfortable in their misery.
If they were happy, their beady, blinking,
pity-seeking eyes would not realize.
So frightened, so numb,
never realizing what they've become.
So jaded, mistaking
age for wisdom.
Well I've seen some young prodigy babies
and I've seen thick-skulled old men and ladies--
it makes no difference as long as what they say is true.
And it's true when I say, I'm in love with

YoOOOoooOOuuuUUU

I know, I know, you don't have to say it--
I know: "What's a story without a conflict show?"
But I don't need an elaborate conceit
to tell you how I feel because you know what I mean.
Well the conflict is that we'd think that we'd even need
a conflict at all.

Well I can finally read the letters
written clearly in your smile.
Well I can see much better
with these lenses over my eyes.
O you're my prescription
because you dissolved my conviction
that what I saw before you
was anything important.
Now I know, now that those shadows are gone,
that you're the fucking sun
and the day has just begun.

I'm so elated.
I don't believe in much but this feels fated.
From the depths of my apathy
you saved me.
Feels like I can finally breathe with this new life
you gave me.

O, my little love,
you're my light of day.
I thought I'd never find you,
thought I'd lost my way.
Well you're the prettiest plum
I ever saw.
How do you do it fill me with constant
awe.

O, my little love,
you treat me so sweet.
All my past loves
cannot compete.
You are my best,
you are my peak.
Better than the rest
it's 'cause you
set my heart free.
