lyrics:
i hold you like a diamond ring
the most delicate thing i know
it’s a rare intrinsic moment
the way our words just flow
i stare at you, you’re the MoMa
a world of interpretations
you look back at me so innocently
i see myself in the reflection
i get drunk off the wine on your stained lips
feelings ive never known
i laugh like its just another day but
truly its all i want
you remind me of time and the way it goes by
in irregular heartbeats and
i pick all the flowers inside my chest
they grow right back, instantly
it’s wonderful to keep knowing you
in high romance
my honey, my forever muse,
for high romance
do you hear me? will you sing along?
will you tell me what you’re thinking?
go on and paint my cheeks bright red
just by saying that you’ve missed me
i get drunk off the wine on your stained lips
feelings ive never known
i laugh like its just another day but
truly its all i want
you remind me of time and the way it goes by
in irregular heartbeats
i pick all the flowers inside my chest
they grow right back, instantly
you fit all my rhymes
i pick all the flowers inside my chest
they grow right back instantly
it’s wonderful to keep knowing you
in high romance
my honey, my forever muse,
for high romance
and so, with knots in my throat
i ask if you think highly of me
