\nDamp morning and the freshly squeezed T-shirt
\nOrange headphones shielding you from the outer world
\nAnd your gaze, your steady gaze into the nothingness of the river.<\/p>\n
\nPlease talk to me and re-assure that this is just a stupid row
\nWe don\u2019t need to refer to our past, what\u2019s done is done
\nLet\u2019s amend our present to make the weather fine.<\/p>\n
\nI understand your desire to run away from the unfairness of this world
\nDon\u2019t make hot chocolate feel worthless too
\nTake a gulp and finish the glass until empty.<\/p>\n
\nWe are alive; our souls are in motion. What\u2019s more to ask?
\nGive me your blue hands, I\u2019ll swirl you in the air like a child
\nYou are my beautiful person, never (you hear me!), never close up.<\/p>\n
