I ain’t nobody, Brazil
There’s no time I can imagine myself not thinking,
Of the “New Girl” euphoria theme song not ringing.
Every time I close my eyes I’m daydreaming,
‘Cause I would never be the person I was without
Your human being.
Pinky promise, don’t disappear?
I know I might be your biggest fear,
I know I don’t make things kind of clear,
But I would hate to admit, I shall be a lover to volunteer.
Funny how sometimes you just find things
And I didn’t even need to find our invisible string,
You steal my words from my mouth like I’d never exist,
As soon as I fall into, my heart won’t resist.
The fact that you were born in the same constancy, same instancy,
Makes me want to have my fingers crossed- for me to be one who is hurt,
And you know that my eyes aren’t able to not flirt.
I sound a little bit exaggerated,
It’s because you make me sound so overrated,
My laughs just float when I’m around you,
Making me nervous to imagine-
You were the person I was
Looking through.
It sounds clingy,
However, can you be my sweet nothing?
My hands never lie,
Like I would never be by your side, be aside.
