XXXXVIII

It’s Tuesday night,

I need a drink.

Maybe even two, or three.

Not going to lie, had a tough day.

I might even call my friend Tequila,

have a couple of drinks and hang out.-

XXXXVII I thought I’d let you know, I’m planning to...

XXXXVII

I thought I’d let you know,

I’m planning to run away.

Don’t come looking for me,

don’t try to make me stay.

I’ll be running away wearing this skirt.-

XXXXVI

Bubbles, all the bubbles!

Give me all the bubbles in the world.

I want to touch them, I want to jump up high and burst them.

I’ll run as far as the last one goes.

Bubbles, all the bubbles!

Give me all the bubbles in the world!

I promise not to burst them until you take a picture.-

XXXXV

Why do you let me sing out loud?

I say silly things, I sing too much crap.

Why do you let me sing alone?

You should be singing with me,

even if I suck, even if I don’t want to stop.-

XXXXIV

Paper aeroplanes flying all around,

there’s children in the streets, the sun is shining in the sky.

I can hear a distant voice, it’s so pretty, it’s so nice.

There’s three ladies singing,

“Will you be my valentine?.”-

Wed, 01 May 2013 00:00:00 -0400

XXXXIII

I kissed the tulips goodnight,

told them not to be shy and open up.

I kissed them good morning today too,

told them not to be shy, open up and have a good day.-

XXXXII

I met a girl, her name was Fiona.

She had a red car, and a cat called Laura.

They went on road trips around America.

They took pictures and sang to Blondie.

I met a girl, her name was Fiona.

One day I’ll meet her again,

and we’ll go for a milkshake with Laura.-

XXXXI Oh sunflowers, you look so happy today! I can’t stop...

XXXXI

Oh sunflowers, you look so happy today!

I can’t stop looking at you, looking at your big brown eyes.

You are so bright, you are so yellow.

Oh sunflowers, you make me want to sing and dance,

run around, fall in love with this beautiful big, blue sky.-

XXXX

I got lost but I found my way,

I got lost trying to not get lost again.

It’s something that I do, it’s my thing, it’s all good.

I don’t mind, it’s alright.

Once I got lost following an ant.-

XXXIX

We used to talk about things teenagers would only worry about,

we used to be different to the rest because we knew we didn’t need to be like them.

It felt like being ahead of the game, it actually was.

I remember you and me would change the world.

We changed our worlds, we changed ourselves.-

XXXVIII I heard you talking, you were so loud. I heard you...

Sat, 27 Apr 2013 00:00:00 -0400

XXXVIII

I heard you talking,

you were so loud.

I heard you talking about the lights.

I looked at you and you looked at me,

we heard each other without having to speak.

I think I knew, just right there and then.

I knew I’d see you on top of The Empire State.-

Fri, 26 Apr 2013 00:00:00 -0400

XXXVII

There are a million of you out there,

a million tiny rocks fighting with each other.

They don’t want to be touched, they don’t want to be swallowed.

They are running away from the sea, trying to stay undercover.

A million tiny rocks fighting with each other.-

XXXVI Forget, forget what I’ve said, you are the...

Thu, 25 Apr 2013 00:00:00 -0400

XXXVI

Forget, forget what I’ve said,

you are the prettiest cupcake in the world.

I know I’ve said it to other ones before,

but this time I swear, I mean it, it’s true.

Forget, forget what I’ve said,

you are the most delicious cupcake to date.

I know I’ve said it to other ones before,

but this time I swear, I mean it, it’s true.-

XXXV

Hold my hand, take a chance.

Give me kisses, I’ll give them back.

Let’s sing a song, let’s ride a bike.

Let’s get lost in a quiet town.

Imagine it’s summer and the sun is out,

we can go to the beach or we can stay in our house.

Let’s write a story, let’s run in the park.

Let’s take pictures and lay on the grass.-

Tue, 23 Apr 2013 00:00:00 -0400

XXXIV

I cried with laughter, I cried and cried,

until I couldn’t feel the muscles in my face anymore.

I cried because you make me so happy.

I cried because you made the funniest joke.

I cried with laughter.

So much, it’s the most I’ve laughed so far.-

Mon, 22 Apr 2013 00:00:00 -0400

XXXIIi

Whisper in my ear.

Tell me how many flowers you’d buy me in a year.

I don’t mind if they are violets, roses or peonies.

As long as they come from you and they smell pretty.

Whisper in my ear.

Tell me how many kisses you’ll give me in a year.

I don’t mind if they are short and sweet.

As long as they come from you and they are pretty.-

Sun, 21 Apr 2013 00:00:00 -0400

XXXII

I’ve always wanted to be a bird,

to know what it would feel like to fly away.

One second you are in the air,

the next one you are back on the earth.

It’s not like a plane, but it’s still pretty damn cool.

What do you think birds would say if we’d ask them,

“hey dude how does it feel like to be you?”-

XXXI You keep calling me after twelve. You leave me messages...

Sat, 20 Apr 2013 00:00:00 -0400

XXXI

You keep calling me after twelve.

You leave me messages every now and again.

I really don’t know you, but you say you love me.

I’m afraid you confused me with another girl.

That night you were drunk and asked me out,

but let’s just stop for a second and think.

I never said I was interested.-

Fri, 19 Apr 2013 00:00:00 -0400

XXX

There’s nothing wrong with running away,

as long as you are not hurting anyone.

There’s nothing wrong with crying in bed,

as long as you are not the one who’s being hurt.

Feelings are like a roller coaster,

because you don’t want to be on it.-

XXIX

We walked around for hours.

Wondered what to have for lunch, no one was craving much.

We stopped in front of the beach, looked up to the sun and screamed:

“Hey let’s go have some fish and chips”.-
