Perks
Cherishing the Bittersweet: Perks of Love and Loss by Marielle Kraft
Lyrics
Free parking in the city
Expressing the joy of having free parking in the city.
Sleeping in 'til noon
Enjoying the luxury of sleeping in until noon.
I got a plus one with me
Having a companion (plus one) along for the experience.
Saturdays in June
Highlighting the pleasantness of Saturdays in June.
I love these perks
Expressing love for the positive aspects of life, referred to as "perks."
I love these perks
-Unapologetically
Embracing the perks without apology.
I try out all my jokes on you
Testing jokes on a significant other, suggesting a close relationship.
And you're laughing right with me love
Sharing laughter with a loved one who is equally quirky.
You're pretty weird too
Acknowledging the uniqueness of the partner.
I love these perks
Reiterating love for the perks.
I'll miss these perks
Anticipating the future absence of these perks.
Losing you will hurt
Acknowledging the pain of losing the partner.
But I know we don't work
Recognizing that the relationship doesn't work despite the perks.
And I'll miss these perks
Repeating the sentiment of missing the perks after separation.
I'll miss these perks
Continuing to express the anticipation of missing the perks.
You got the softer mattress
Noting specific comforts provided by the partner, like a softer mattress and a better shower head.
Better shower head too
Continuing to appreciate the perks of the relationship.
And when you're with me
Highlighting the intimacy in the relationship, such as being the "little spoon."
I can be the little spoon
-I love these perks
Reiterating love for the perks despite the impending separation.
I'll miss these perks
Repeating the anticipation of missing the perks.
Losing you will hurt
Expressing the expected pain of losing the partner.
And I know we don't work
Acknowledging that the relationship doesn't work despite the perks.
But I'll miss these perks
Reiterating the expectation of missing the perks post-separation.
We don't we don't we don't
Emphasizing the repeated statement that the relationship doesn't work.
We don't we don't we don't work
-We don't we don't we don't
-We don't we don't we don't work love
-Unspoken language
Describing a special, unspoken connection in the relationship.
No one else can learn
Highlighting the uniqueness of a language shared exclusively by the couple.
I always loved you
Affirming love for the partner, even during difficult times.
Even at our worst
Expressing enduring love, even at the lowest points of the relationship.
Losing you will hurt
Recognizing the pain that comes with the prospect of losing the partner.
And I know we don't work
Reiterating that the relationship doesn't work despite the love.
But I'll miss these perks
Expressing the continued anticipation of missing the perks after separation.
We don't we don't we don't
Reiterating the statement that the relationship doesn't work.
We don't we don't we don't work
-We don't we don't we don't
-(No we don't, we don't)
-We don't we don't we don't work love
-You are (You are)
Acknowledging that the partner might be better suited for someone else.
Better for someone else
Emphasizing that the partner is better suited for another person.
(Better for someone else)
Repeating the acknowledgment of missing the perks despite the mismatch.
But I'll miss these perks
Reiterating the repeated statement that the relationship doesn't work.
We don't we don't we don't
-We don't we don't we don't work
-I am (I am)
-Better for someone else
-(Better for someone else)
-But I'll miss these perks
-(We don't we don't we don't work)
Final expression of missing the perks despite the acknowledgment that the relationship doesn't work.
I'll miss these perks
