Favourite
When I play favorites you always win Champion of my now, and every moment after You, are my favorite Since the moment we met Since the instant your welcome invasion first set foot in the unclaimed territory of my heart Full moon, perfect circle I end where you start You, are my favorite Make a mess, of the sheets Kill em with kindness Latex glove ocean Sit with me on the beach It is not a position that warrants a trophy There will be no prize money You will not be hoisted onto the shoulders of others and paraded around town like the spy, who leaked the Caramilk secret to a sweet toothed public But you will be loved Not only by me, but by those closest to me By those who see how graciously you win, how you pin this smile onto my face like a first place ribbon at a county fair where the locals still can't believe how big you've grown my happiness This, make you my favorite You are first, in the long line of those whos joy I wish for All falling stars and birthday candles have been re-assigned to waxing and shining the brightness of your days The next beat of my heart stays, like an obedient dog waiting for the command to speak You, are my favorite Close your eyes and hear the smile in my voice As if the lone cello of your presence is filling the empty theater of my body, evicting the hollowness that once played in me like a phantom with no obsession to make him whole Thank you Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com You, are my favorite I know, it doesn't sound like much To be put before wine gums and basset hounds I know how small and unromantic it sounds I can only tell you that the line is long and I put you before all of it Before trees, before green, before before capitalism killed halloween Before the grateful ears where laughters beam Before the starry night sleepless eyes have seen When I play favorites you always win I will accept all charges on each tin-can telephone conversation I will sift through the static of long distance and translate each tiny vibration back into words, words that leave me as breathless as the fact that language is dying And my heart is left trying to pronouce something that my mouth doesn't know how to say Put your ear to my chest and hear it, you, are my favorite It doesn't sound like much To be put before photos of blob fish and videos of kittens discovering cactuses But I put you before hand-holding I put you before kisses Before 'I like you' turns into 'I love you' Before the moment I knew you loved me too You are before everything in the long line of everything that brings me joy, you are first You are water to my thirst You, are my favorite Please sit in my sky and let me polish your shine
