lyrics

my girlfriend often asks me
i darling
when will you write a love song for me?

but
when you're in love
(and i am)
every song you write is a love song
every poem you write is a love poem
every movie that you watch is a romance
everything becomes romantic
and a little bit more human
and more beautiful
when you're in love

like reading the newspaper
and doing the quiz on a sunday morning
catching a tram
buying groceries
going to sleep
and waking up
cooking eggs
and eating them
making the bed
and unmaking it
and sex
sex
sex
cups of tea
painting your fingernails
washing the dishes
there is love everywhere
in everything you do
when you're in love
i know this
because i am in love
and it
it is magic
