I Tried Explaining You To Someone
I tried explaining you to someone
But I can't describe a smile July sunsets will never touch
I can't illustrate my enthusiasm no longer belongs to me, it's been stolen
By the way, the best thieves wear high heels
I tried explaining you to someone
So I told them the 8th wonder of the world lives in a midwest town with caramel skin and smells like wonderland
I told them there's a petition to put your name in the dictionary because you're the only girl with oceans for eyes
I told them I would thank you for educating me about the past tense of love and teaching me the most important three words:
Everything
Is
Temporary
I just thought we could be the exception
And I heard if you stare at anything enough it loses it's perfection but they've never seen you in a sun dress
I tried explaining you to someone
I told them look for the girl with necklaces made from hearts and worn like trophies
I told them imagine the most fantastic storm with electricity and heat and wonderful chaos
I tried explaining you to someone
