you were someone
that I was somewhat
familiar with
in daydreams and melodies
i was nothing
if not looking
for you
you were sunshine
and flowers and rivers
and stars in the open skies
of the southern west
i was more of an
acquired taste

I’ll tell of a boy who carries an arrow
he flies around with little wings
he thinks of himself as some kind of sparrow
stalking victims just like me
a god of the slaves, a god of the pharos
he brought them both down to their knees
his aim is quick, his focus is narrow
yeah this morning he shot me in the spleen
well, hello!
I am lost in this world where things glow
with the touch of you love and I’m not letting go
I’m in love and I’m not letting go
I'll tell of a girl who’s purple and yellow
she lurks beneath the morning wind
she dances around she plays on a cello!
yeah she twirls her bow between her strings
well, hello!
I am lost in this world where things glow
with the touch of you love and I’m not letting go
I’m in love and I’m not letting go
inside of this box I carry my heart
I give it to you so you’ll break it apart
to pluck out its feathers, rub on a fish
to glue back together however you wish
when I get it back I know it’ll be
the best iteration of me
I’ll wrestle a bear, I’ll shovel some snow
I’ll save all the whales and I’ll learn how to sow
‘cause I know this world is waiting to see
the best iteration of me
I’m in love and I’m not letting go
I found love and I’m not letting go

hoy dejaste de morir
hoy tu ser te pide más
regresó el color a tus labios
y tu piel abandona el gris
que fingía la humildad
hoy dejaste de sufrir
hoy te late el corazón
hoy la vida toma un paso
más allá del liderazgo
del orgullo y del dolor
y hoy eres tú, la misma que arriesgó
y no se dejó vencer por el mundo y la ilusión
hoy se ve de nuevo un rasgo, una y otra vez
de esa luz que se apagó
hoy comienzas a vivir
se oye solo tu canción
marcha el tiempo más despacio
y se abren los espacios
de la mente en tu honor
y hoy estás aquí, la misma que amó
y no se pudo perder lo que el día le ofreció
hoy se ve de nuevo un rasgo, una y otra vez
de esa luz que fuiste tú
y hoy creo en ti
hoy creo en el amor
hoy se ve de nuevo un rasgo
una y otra vez

hoy voy a botar, las alas que tu me diste
porque ya no soy tu angel guardian
me voy a quitar, los cuernos que me pusiste
porque estamos en temporada de casar
en ese dia que te fuiste tu me diste la única historia
que quisiera yo poder borrar
Imagínate por un instante que yo no fui ni tu ex ni tu amante
que nunca te regale-ese diamante
que supuestamente no se podía romper
y al ver, que todos somos personas
de diferentes madres y zonas pero una sola es la vida al nacer
quedate sola si no quieres volver
sin ningún prejuicio a tu forma de ser
pero tratemos de tratarnos major mi amor
si es posible
hoy voy a botar, las alas que tu me diste
porque ya no soy tu angel guardian
me voy a quitar, los cuernos que me pusiste
porque estamos en temporada de casar

service station parking lot
in a Massachusetts road,
you were scared I was torn,
'cause one line says that life
is gonna be easy for a while,
two lines and we’re not alone,
she had your eyes, she had my style,
she made you cry, she made me smile,
but only for a moment,
and then she was no more,
Sunday morning sermon
has a message for us both,
the sunlight glides across the church’s walls,
the preacher says that life
is not in the flesh but in our minds,
oh we are never going to be alone,
she had your eyes, she had my style,
she made you laugh, she made me smile,
but only for a moment,
becoming something more,
she’s running ‘round, she’s being wild,
she's got a laugh that carries for miles,
she's going to be a woman
that changes the world,
she’ll have your eyes, she’ll have my style,
she’ll make them cry, she’ll make them smile,
but only for a moment,
becoming something more,
