Bottledandservedwiththe table set inmyfinestsuit
Like a perfectgentlemen
I'll be the fire escape that'sboltedtothe ancientbrick
Where youwill sitandcontemplate yourday
I'll be the waterwings thatsave youif youstart drowning
In an opentab whenyourjudgment'sonthe brink
I'll be the phonographthat playsyourfavorite

I'll be the platformshoesandundowhatheredity'sdone toyou...
You won'thave to strainto lookintomy eyes
I'll be your wintercoatbuttonedandzippedstraighttothe throat
Withthe collarupso you won'tcatch a cold
I wantto take youfar fromthe cynicsinthistown
Andkissyouon the mouth
We'll cut our bodiesfree fromthe tethersof thisscene,
Start a brand newcolony
Where everythingwill change,
We'll give ourselvesnewnames(identitieserased)

TALKING TO ROMANTIC PARTNER
CONSISTENT USE OF SIMILE TO COMPARE
HIMSELF TO PERFECTION - BEAUTIFUL IMAGERY
GENTLEMAN, WILL ALWAYS BE
THERE TO LISTEN
JUST WANTS TO CARE FOR HER AND HELP
HER MAKE GOOD CHOICES/KEEP AFLOAT
BE COMFORTING, A GOOD
MEMORY, IN HER BED
DO ANYTHING TO MAKE HER LIFE
EASIER - SUPPORTIVE
ENTIRELY DEDICATED, CARING AND WILL
MAKE SURE SHE NEVER HAS TO SUFFER
NOBODY CAN SAY THEIR
ROMANCE ISN'T PLAUSIBLE AS, TO
HIM, NOBODY ELSE NEEDS TO
EXIST. THEIR PAST OF
HISTORY/MISTAKES PLAY NO
PART AND JUDGEMENTS WILL BE
AVOIDED. PERFECTION ACHIEVED
IN ESCAPISM
USE OF POSSIBILITY - "I WILL BE", "I WANT TO", "EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE" TELLS US
THAT THE SPEAKER HAS ROMANTIC INTEREST BUT IS PROBABLY NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP
WITH THE GIRL DUE TO THE "CYNICS IN THIS TOWN"
