I feel a connection with him
And I felt the lights dim
When the electricity fluctuated 
And they’re obsessed with who he dated
In his late youth
The fake press can be a brute
As they report
Without making a fort
Of due diligence true
And I fell in love with you 
Coz I could see that look in your eyes
You know the one that never dies
And I know you were with her 
I just don’t know what for 
Because she is beautiful and serene
But her eyes only ever see the dream 
And you, too real, burn her candle
The flame between, too hot to handle
And it starts a decade long war
And the streets may be paved with tar
But they don’t take New York from me
The one you sang about in the days you were free
Of the burden that you wear 
Like flowers in her hair 
Pink and blushing and young and sweet
Then the two of us meet 
And you promise me eternity 
In a ring that spins infernally 
Like a dial on your heart
You don’t have to swear to take part
In the love that we share
I know because I was there 
And you care
More than I gave you credit due
Now I’m back writing odes to you
Like that dream of a YouTube scene 
Where you propose 
And it doesn’t matter what clothes 
I wear 
You always meet me there
