your profile and your hair color

i saw them side by side on a quiet table

within a slightly bland potato

within pasta with too much salt

in the depths of nights without you there

i saw my own detestable smallness

within worthless quarrels and tears

within that foolishly smiling face

i'm alone in the kitchen

with still curtains

i can't say

i can't say it

i can't say i'm fine all alone

let's talk

speak up

about our bright future

so even if i mess up and freeze it

you'll be there for me

laugh

laugh

laugh

just like that

like a spell's been cast

we'll make the world anew

and the shroud of uncurable gloom in this room

you chewed on it like it was tasty

and gulped it down

and well

just how much you've saved me

maybe you wouldn't know

if and when we meet tomorrow

i hope i can be honest then

your cheeks and the bridge of your nose

now i see them side by side on a quiet table

sweet cherry bonbon left in the room

and a forcibly-baked tarte tatin

a tensed-up kitchen

a timer with a dead battery

i can't say

i can't say it

i can't say i've come to hate you

let's talk

speak up

about both our thoughts

so i can speak to you without getting embarrassed

laugh

laugh

laugh

just like that

it's like a world where we've finally been granted freedom

scooping out the first mouthful of the prepared food

you happily blew and offered it to me

and well

just how much you've saved me

even if you do happen to know

if and when we meet tomorrow

i hope i can put it into words

once more!

laugh

laugh

laugh

just like that

like a spell's been cast

we'll make the world anew

and the shroud of uncurable gloom in this room

you chewed on it like it was tasty

and gulped it down

and well

just how much you've saved me

maybe you wouldn't know

if and when we meet tomorrow

i hope i can be honest then
