a million little times

make sure you know I think of you
keep your head up, look into my eyes
you'll be flushed staring into them
take the road less taken and join me
we started this love under the stars,
let us end it in our deathbeds

that's the thing about love,
and the beautiful circumstances of our meeting
it was born from one single glance
and it builds, and it builds, and it builds
for a million years, and a million years more

leave the flowers on your table
that she picked out for you
so you remember her
and how she remembers you
and how she leaves traces of glitter in your heart

take the words for what they are
words of love, ascending to the highest heaven

and you want to scream
please call me bébé
please stay with me, mon bébé
look at yourself, God's magnum opus
you showed me colours in the world of black and white

and I want to scream
please call me bébé
please stay with me, mon bébé
look at yourself, God's magnum opus
you taught me a secret language, that poets would recite at the lake

and you know damn well,
I will burn the world, and build it back up again,
for you,
a million little times
