No. 72

I watch you sleep and behind your eyelids I can see
You’re dreaming and I wonder: Do you ever dream of me
Cause in my dreams I build my whole world around you
No, that’s a little too much, doesn’t sound quite true

Let’s just say that I don’t dream of anyone else, no
And that I don’t ever dream of letting you go, oh
Writing a song for you‘s much harder than I thought
But I’m gonna give it one more try

So this is my lovesong, try number seventy-two
After seventy-one that just wouldn't do
This is the lovesong that is way overdue
This is a love song – just for you

You can be the grumpiest beast that I’ve ever known
You know the bitchiest sides that I’ve ever shown
But in the end of the day when we go to sleep
I know you’re the man that I wanna keep

Sometimes we’re weak, sometimes we’re strong
Sometimes we’re right and sometimes we’re wrong
But I just want a lovesong, as plain as can be
I want a lovesong that'll make you love me

So this is my lovesong, try number seventy-two
After seventy-one that just wouldn't do
This is the lovesong that is way overdue
This is a love song – just for you

I tried uncountable words and phrases to express what I feel
I tried uncountable harmonies to make it sound real
I wanna sing you a song of which I mean every word
And I want nothing ambiguous to cause you any hurt

The truth is, every day when I wake up
I write hundreds and thousands of poems into the wind
And I tell them to follow and dance around your head
So you’re never without my love

And I hope that one day they will spread
Around the world, so wherever you are
They’re always right behind you, running ahead, ahead
From the moment you wake up until you go to bed
You’re surrounded by invisible expressions unsaid
So you’re never without my love

So this is my lovesong, try number seventy-two
After seventy-one that just wouldn't do
This is the lovesong that is way overdue
This is a love song – just for you

So this is my lovesong, try number seventy-two
After seventy-one that just wouldn't do
This is the lovesong that is way overdue
This is a love song – just for you

So this is my lovesong, try number seventy-two
After seventy-one that just wouldn't do
This is the lovesong that is way overdue
This is a love song – just for you
