You said you'd marry the girl who writes
"you can be the peanut butter to my jelly",
So I come here and put together this clumsy melody.
You know I'm not the kind to make empty promises,
or dare to convince someone of what still scares me.
I used to hate the phrase "you are the apple of my eye",
But I know you are the only one
that makes me want to rhyme.
Sometimes I get jealous,
say sarcastic jokes and hide my tears.
But you know I always want to be here.
And even if it takes me a whole day to make peace with you,
I will never leave you to reconsider leaving me.
I'd say you are my first in so many things,
But that would imply it would have happened without you,
And thus, that my friend, ain't the case.
You make me nervous,
cause we know I mean what I say.
I used to have the excuse of not entirely being in love,
Dear lord, you've messed my game.
You can call me crazy,
mistakenly selfish,
but you know the thing is
you can't really feel it like
Me and you forever,
seems to be taken from a fairytale,
I just throw a dime to the well,
so that your fire never dissipates.
I believe when you say you miss me,
But I fear I can't say the same,
cause those words no longer express,
what I feel when you are not with me.
I have never really missed my house,
I'd love to be an airplane mouse,
but when it comes to you,
for the first time I feel homesick,
cause you are... my love nest, my sanctuary, my only rest.
