02 Aug What You Already Know
Which earrings did you choose today
I remember seeing them once before
But where I saw them I cannot say
You will just have to wear them more
There’s more to drink in your smile than all the sea
And all the rest
And at your worst, it’s clear to me
You don’t need to try your best
To look your best
Which earrings did you choose today
The ones from your sister or your mother
Or did you end up choosing another
A smallest moment, but all the more true
Comes the weekend
It’s another day with nothing to do
But however we spend
Nothing means something if it’s something with you
And when you tie up that top knot
What can I say but you look divine
How many ways can I say you’re looking hot
Not just now, but all the time
Which earrings did you choose today
Silver rings or the sea-green ones
Or different ones
You sleep with them on now and then
Fast asleep by ten
In the dark your touch remembers me
And I remember it with perfect clarity
And I still can’t wait to see you
Like when we first met, we were still new
The first is as exciting as the now
And I can’t explain how
A smallest moment, and once you agreed
It fell in place
And now with all the alone we need
Nothing’s a waste
Everything is nothing if I had everything but you
And when we do what we looked forward to
What can I say but I’m glad you are mine
How many ways can I say I love you
Not just now, but all the time
All the time I want to say it, but no
Why tell you again what you already know
