LIVE LIFE CON GRANDE AMORE

The playful conversation starts

Counter all your quick remarks 

And you throw your head back laughing 

Like a little kid. 

Your sweet disposition 

And my wide-eyed gaze

I just wanna know you better, 

know you better,

know you better now. 

I know looks can be deceiving 

But I know I saw a light in you. 

Something gave you the nerve to touch my hand,

It’s nice to have a friend.

Told myself don’t get attached

But in my mind, I play it back. 

Our secret moments in a crowded room,

Blushing all the way home.

There’s a dazzling haze

A mysterious way about you dear

And all I can feel in my stomach is butterflies. 

2 AM who do you love?

Please don’t be in love with someone else.

Please don’t have somebody waiting on you.

Please don’t be a stranger whose laugh I can recognise anywhere. 

Maybe this is wishful thinking,

Probably mindless dreaming. 

You might have me believing 

I don’t always have to be alone. 

This daydream is dangerous.

I don’t want to look at anything else

Now that I saw you.

I don’t want to think of anything else

Now that I thought of you. 

We’re driving down the road, I wonder if you know, 

I’m trying so hard not go get caught up now. 

I’m the one who makes you laugh

And you tell me ‘bout your dreams. 

I don’t want you like a best friend. 

Sometimes I wonder when you sleep,

Are you ever dreaming of me?

Sometimes when I look in your eyes,

I pretend your mine

All, the, damn, time. 

And as we walked, we were talking

I didn’t say half the things I wanted to. 

I’ve never had the courage of my convictions

As long as danger is near. 

Nothing safe is worth the drive.

Your sweet smile

So good to me,

So right.

Yes, yes, I can see it now.

All this silence and patience, 

Pining and anticipation,

My hands are shaking

From holding back from you.

Say you wanna be with me too.

My eclipsed sun, 

This has broken me down. 

2 AM feeling like I just lost a friend. 

The music starts playing 

Like the end of a sad movie.

I want auroras 

And sad prose.

I took a chance,

I took a shot

And you might think I’m bulletproof 

But I’m not.

What should be over burrowed under my skin

In heart-stopping waves of hurt.

September saw a month of tears. 

Stood on the cliffside screaming 

Give me a reason!

Were there clues I didn’t see? 

You showed me colours 

you know I can’t see 

with anyone else. 

Back when I was living for the hope of it all.

Maybe I was naive got lost in your eyes and never really had a chance.

Maybe we got lost in translation.

Maybe I asked for too much.

Maybe this thing was a masterpiece and you tore it all up. 

You drew stars around my scars 

And now they’re bleeding.

If you never bleed 

You’re never gonna grow. 

Leave the perfume on the shelf.

Take the words for what they are. 

Cause you weren’t mine to lose. 

I, I, I persist and resist 

The temptation to ask you -

If one thing had been different, 

Would everything be different 

Today? 

Something keeps me holding on to nothing.

Good girls, hopeful they’ll be

And long they will wait. 

Chandelier still fLiKeRiNg here. 

I’m still a believer and I don’t know why. 

People are people and sometimes we change our minds. 

When you’re young, you just run 

But you come back to what you need. 

I’m still on that trapeze,

I’m still trying everything,

To keep you looking at me. 

Your faithless love

Is the only hoax I believe in. 

The devil’s in the details

But you’ve got a friend in me.
