I'd Prefer

[Verse 1: Serengeti]

This romance is knitted quilts

And very soft strings of yarn

Sharing plates of spinach parm

And never having to move your arm

Charm is charm but yours is more like

Overflowing candy drawers

Returning from the greatest war

I adore our rapport

We feel like batteries in toys

Otters and their silly ploys

A haunted house and scary noise

The fashions of a teddy boy

To cook with sherry and juices from stems of poison pigeon berry

Romantic hugs and Finnish ferries

Mountain blue and green canaries

[Hook]

I’d prefer if you were around

I’d prefer if you were around

[Verse 2: Serengeti]

We toasted sweet burger buns

That time we fell in love in Schtad

Fed each other Shish Kabobs

I love you like an angry god

Alaskan cod and silly quips

I wish you’d leave that man you’re with

We’ll get a place like in Peru

You’ll meet me up like oysters do

Turn cold like pigeon flu

Undercover secret life

Hidden like a switchblade

The arm that hides the face of nights

And this is all that I can have

Romantic New York City cabs

And weeks and weeks and you can’t talk

Cancel plans and lonely walks

Plans and lonely walks

[Hook x2]
