Paris Can Wait

We could live across the street

Or be neighbors like in college

You could walk your dog at sunset

And I could walk myself at dawn

I could try to plant some flowers

But we both know me too well

At that I won’t be successful

‘til I can take care of myself

But, no matter in which city or state

Or country this future will be

I think we should call it “Paris”

I can’t promise I’ll be fine

But you can’t promise that as well

So, maybe we’ll each find someone

Who is capable of knowing we all can manifest both Heaven and Hell

But, no matter in which city or statе

Or country this future will be

I think we should call it “Paris”

Oh, forgivе me for thinking hopefully

But between the erratic moods

And the feelings accrued

And the things we do that don’t reflect who we wanna be

We’ll know the difference between being fulfilled and just being happy

But, for now

We can wait on Paris

Yeah, Paris can wait

Let’s just focus on our lives

Not how long that will take

Yeah, Paris can wait
