Everything is Wonderful
Embracing Life's Beauty
Lyrics
Waking up to her face
Waking up and seeing her face.
She stretches out her arms
She extends her arms in a stretch.
Sun stains the dirty pane
The sunlight stains the dirty window pane.
She slowly reaches down
She slowly reaches down for something.
Before I have the chance
Before I can confront my usual anxiety.
To greet my daily dread
Before I can face my daily worries.
She says "Your skin feels so good
She compliments the feeling of my skin, calming my chaotic thoughts.
Put away your messy head"
Encourages me to clear my mind.
She takes her coffee sweet out on my fire escape
She enjoys her sweet coffee on my fire escape.
Says hello to the strangers cause they relate
She greets strangers because she connects with them.
With a pulse and a hunger no time to be scared
They share a common vitality and desire, ignoring fear.
She said "aren't these cherries the best you've had?"
She remarks about the cherries being exceptionally good.
I think I'm I'm smarter than I know I am
I feel intellectually superior, but she challenges that.
But with her my games don't stand a chance
My usual tactics don't work with her.
When I ask her how we're getting on
When I inquire about our relationship status,
She says "everything is wonderful"
She reassures me that everything is wonderful.
Heaven isn't a place
Heaven isn't a specific place as described.
Don't believe a word they've said
Don't trust what others say about it.
Steps can't be retraced
You can't go back, only move forward.
Move forward till you're dead
Keep progressing until death.
But then she places her hand
She places her hand in my jeans' pocket.
In the pocket of my jeans
Suggesting we'll attend a concert, urging me not to overthink.
Says "We're going to see a band
Suggests simplicity and spontaneity.
Try not to overthink"
(Blank line)
She doesn't know how to argue only how to spy
Accepts my quirks, proposes a drive.
My ridiculous nature "Let's take a drive"
Wants to experience nature's sounds.
Just to hear the wind whisper, the crunch of the leaves
Feels uplifted amidst nature.
She says "Don't you feel taller among these trees?"
Notices my confidence among the trees.
I think I'm I'm smarter than I know I am
Confidence in intelligence, but she challenges that.
But with her my games don't stand a chance
My strategies fail when dealing with her.
When I ask her how we're getting on
When inquiring about our relationship,
She says "everything is wonderful"
She reaffirms that everything is wonderful.
She says "everything is wonderful"
Reiteration that everything is wonderful.
She says "your feelings are valid but what good are you
Validates my emotions but questions their usefulness.
If they run you so ragged you can't pull through?
Concern about emotions hindering progress.
I'm not naive to the struggle or coming to terms
Acknowledges the struggle and acceptance of reality.
But baby there's beauty at every turn"
Sees beauty in every circumstance.
I think I'm I'm smarter than I know I am
Confidence in intelligence, yet challenged by her.
But with her my games don't stand a chance
My usual tactics are ineffective with her.
When I ask her how we're getting on
When asking about our relationship,
She says "everything is wonderful"
She reassures that everything is wonderful.
She says "everything is wonderful"
Reiteration that everything is wonderful.
