CLOCKWORK.

❂ PICNIC SPOT.

VERSE ONE:
you tiptoe on your feet, i hear your every breath
i glance at you, constantly, confidently, then glance back down again
i take slow breaths in deep, in three's, then stop abruptly at the tenth
'cause you looked right in my eyes, a moment that never ends
oh but i'm just a passerby, in your kingdom of prince proposals and kings immortal
tell me when can i get just a moment alone with you...
without you disguised as a clone
'cause i haven't seen a 'you', real enough...
except all the times i'm with you
which is once in a blue moon

PRE-CHORUS ONE:
i see you walking home, but i'm too scared to join on my own
i give to you a chocolate bar
you give a smile and divide in 2 halves
can't we do the same with our hearts?

CHORUS:
you pat my back, wished good luck
for the exam i never had
never first class, never topped first
but the first to get held back
nothing makes sense if it ain't you
got no one but a single friend, that's you
forgotten lunchbox, thumb-fighting wars
in our picnic spot

VERSE TWO:
i say, "your drawings are super cool."
'cause they are all of me, beautiful
"it was hardwork, painting you more beautiful than you are already.
a few brushes and palettes and colors made the difference, but only barely."
it deserves to be in an exhibition, if only it wasn't of me
but you spent half a year, and baby, it's a mirror,
and you're a daily reminder of why i can't breathe
'cause you made me look more pretty than i care to think i seem

PRE-CHORUS TWO:
i see you walking home,
you see me walking back and forth
i pick out a chocolate bar
we roam around in shopping carts

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
so i... treat you with ice cream
the one you like, strawberry delight, love at first bite
this moment so sweet, windy breeze, brain freeze
you hold my hand, i try to think...
but before i can... you kiss me

(CHORUS)
