  • It’s amazing how much time love saves you at first
    When you rediscover your reason to work
    And your aimless dreaming has found a targeting
    And normalize and greed a function return
    Came on early, quarter to two
    I don’t need more wine, I’m coming for you

    We carry pictures in our pretend wallet
    Have ourselves and heavily edited
    … Eat with better handwriting and longer days at the park
    And dinners with no drama the professor and Marianne
    Came home early, a quarter to two
    I don’t need more wine, I’m coming for you

    When I was young, I didn’t know if I was better off with sleep over
    I’ve grown up, I wonder what was that world I was dreaming off
    When I was young, I didn’t know if I was better off with sleep over
    I’ve grown up, I wonder what was that world I was dreaming of
    What was that world I was dreaming of
    What was that world I was dreaming of
    … Regular shirt, same … last year, more so
    When I was young, I didn’t know if I was better off with sleep over
    I’ve grown up, I wonder what was that world I was dreaming off
    What was that world I was dreaming of
    What was that world I was dreaming of. Writer/s: DANIEL PRIETO CASTRO LORCA, IRA ELLIOT, MATTHEW RORISON CAWS
