Fifth of July

Ask me a question, I will reply

What is the date today? Fifth of July

Where do we go from here? How about the hill

Let’s stay another year and say I love you still

They say the fates are spinning strings around the earth

It’s just a ball of blue and green

No use for truth, but I will say for what it’s worth

You have the nicest smile I’ve ever seen

Cards on the table; how do I feel

Sort of unstable, hyper-real

The boots I got for Christmas are trying to kill my feel

But I walk despite the blisters by your side down Princess Street

They say the fates are spinning strings around the earth

You don’t have to face your fate alone

No use for truth, but I will say for what it’s worth

You have the warmest eyes I’ve ever known

You have the warmest eyes I’ve ever known

We are two coordinates on the squares of an unseen grid

And I am powerless in the face of it

How do I love you? Let me count the ways

I will find a reason for each contour of your face

They say the fates are spinning strings around the earth

Like a puppet for the sun

No use for truth, but I will say for what it’s worth

This is the bravest thing I’ve ever done

Yes, this is the bravest thing I’ve ever done

Ask me a question, I will reply

What is the date today? Fifth of July
