about

A little ditty about going to Paris and feeling like a fucking exhausted and unhappy alien monster until your wonderful significant other arrives and makes you feel 1000000% better :) <3

lyrics

LYRICS:

Wake up call, it’s 5am.
Don’t they know I’ve been wide-open-eyed since I got in?
Je suis ‘merican. Ici pour le travail. Excusez mon français.
It’s my first time overseas. I’m about to turn 29.
I wish that my phone would stop crying
that I’ve got reason this seems isolated;
reason to be fucking wired.
I just nearly got bricked by a Kymco
and I’m worried that I’m losing my mind.

I hate this place because it’s so strange,
Hate how it’s interjected the real
into a cut-and-bone-dry routine.
Resent the universal appeal.
I mean, really, this place isn’t so strange.
The people seem honest and ideal.
But I hate how it’s disrupted routine,
‘cause I love routine above everything.

Wi-Fi network bars stand firm upright.
You’ve just sent a message that you’ve arrived.
Merci mes étoiles chanceuses.
Ce n'est pas the best experience I’ve had thus far.
Within a minute of keying you in,
I have noticed that I’ve stopped freaking out.

Know you know you have the power to calm me,
And you know you keep a stillness that simply
Decompresses all the tension within me.
Makes me feel less like I’m gonna burst.
And I love you for the person you are
Like I loved you for the person you were.
All the changes that you’ve seen in yourself?
Those changes didn’t even occur.

Accepting that has been
the uphill battle.
We forget we both can read
each others’ inner monologues
without the need for
putting words to temperatures.
If I seemed unsure
it’s cause you seemed unsure.

Wake up, buddy, it’s time to give up the fight.
We’ve never been in a city so grey and so bright.
We got another eight hours of light.
I guess it’s time we had a moment of life.
