What The Alexei

Okay, okay, one more, and make it personal
The kind of song where the words could come back cursed
But all those ripples in the pool just seem so trivial
When you meet someone mythical
And the myth says no great art without danger
Yeah, I'm falling in love, I'm telling strangers
I'm science, I don't think a single universe could contain us
I've been collecting data and every time you smile
Stars grow brighter
Yr gravity: A super collider

I can hardly sleep for dreaming
You know exactly how I'm feeling
It's not even the fifth best thing about you

So it's a quarter to new years, I got a playlist on
That D-Plan song about how he crossed a country
And crashed a party just to see someone
And he'd still rather live in this world alone
Well I don't know about that
I'm still popping that third bottle
And those art school kids
Sat shooting selfies by the speakers
Call it emo, I blushed, I guess I'm too old to argue
Look at them, look at me looking at them
And I think to myself
Oh, Travis boy, I love you, but get a life!

I can hardly sleep for dreaming
You know exactly how I'm feeling
It's not even the fifth best thing about you
I don't think I'll ever capture
All the different ways you matter
It's not even the fifth best song about you (that I know)

If I could save the years first moment
Just a single second frozen
As we stood out on the seafront under fireworks
Full blossom
Arcs obliterating stars
Scratching new sigils into the sky

I can hardly sleep for dreaming
You know exactly how I'm feeling
It's not even the fifth best thing about you
I don't think I'll ever capture
All the different ways you matter
It's not even the fifth best song about you (that I know)

Oh yeah, that would be me
The rest gets left at sea
Oh yeah, that would be me
The rest gets left at sea
Oh yeah, that would be me
The rest gets left at sea
