about

I saw this young couple so happy and in love with each other, and my dark side took over. This song is about what they can expect in the future, if they even stay together.

lyrics

we love each other so much
the neighbors get sick of it
we’re playing kissy face
in every single public place
yeah we’re in the thick of it

and wouldn’t it be magic if there was a way
that we could be together all day
all day everyday wouldn’t that be love

we’d wake up in our double bed/and spend the morning snuggly
and when I’m making cereal/your presence so ethereal
would circle round and hug me

we’d walk out in the sunshine/unable to part
four arms and legs between us but/one mind one heart
all day everyday/wouldn’t that be love

it’s not enough to have a photograph/or hair inside a locket
I’m working on a dream/to build a laser beam
that shrinks you for my pocket

I’d keep you close beside me for all I go through
or you could do the same to me too
all day every day wouldn’t that be love

yes every little nuance of each others’ life
you and I would know
we’d never have a need to find our own space
because there’d be no place to go
so close all the time that it borders on scandal
perpetual moths to each other’s candle
drawn ever closer with each waking breath
till we fly into the flame and burn ourselves to death
all day everyday wouldn’t that be love

we love each other so much
we’re terrified of others
when we turn out the light
we cling so very tight
until we’re very nearly smothered

and won’t it be a wonder
as we pass the years
if both of us
end up staying here
all day everyday
wouldn’t that be love
wouldn’t that be love
