hello sunshine

And so I was thinking maybe
We should go somewhere this weekend
Drive to a sunrise at the furthest ends
Far from this stale cigarette after taste
And snippets of last night’s memory waste
Oh wait, was it from the night before last?
I no longer know what’s present and past

And so I was wondering maybe
One day we’ll wake up before dawn
I’ll brush my teeth whilst you yawn
We’ll blearily get in your ride whining
That it’s far too early to be driving
And we’ll sing like idiots all the way
Because your radio has seen better days

And so I was considering maybe
We’ll pullover to watch the canvas sky
Navy and vermillion streaks up high
Sooner or later your tummy will indicate
Its time for your breakfast bacon and eggs
Then we’ll hunt for a quaint little café
We’re naughty, so run, its time to pay!

And so I was pondering maybe
Somehow we’ll arrive at a remote beach
We’ll pretend pretty seashells make us rich
In the warm yellow sand I’ll dig my feet
Deeper until they reach the cooler bits
Whilst you absorb the sun and breeze
Later we’ll laugh at your wind swept frizz

And so I was contemplating maybe
When my Asian skin starts to turn red
We’ll sink into a seaside resort room bed
And talk whilst dozing in and out of slumber
As the TV rambles something we don’t bother
The time will come when we get up finally
To stuff ourselves in seafood delicacies

And so I was imagining maybe
After dinner we’ll stroll under the moonlight
Walk away the guilt our pants became tight
Back to the room for a couple of drinks
Okay I lied, I’ll likely down a dozen I think
Collapse after one drunken laugh too many
No need for dreams, it has come true already

And so I was thinking maybe
The sun will pour through the windows
We’ll reluctantly accept its time to go
These memories for keeps on a shelf
Should a day be bleak I’ll smile to myself
Because I’ll think of how we never held hands
Yet you’ll always be my favourite sunshine friend
