(I once saw a sunset so vivid and 
warm that I swore it was perfect
I once had a lover, I'm not sure if 
I'll recover, but I know it was 
worth it
Then, last night in the car, the 
falling raindrops looked like stars 
of some incalculable speed)

(Then later, my friends said "Good 
to see you again, this is a home to 
me"
So I wrote a song and I called it 
"The Love of my Life")

(And I never learned a lesson 
looking at my own reflection, but 
sometimes it seems useful
So I loosen my heart strings in high
 hopes of starting to find something
 truthful)
