lyrics

Verse 1:
Would you be my favourite color,
With your green and copper hues?
You are like a master's painting
Complete with reds and blues.

Verse 2:
Would you be my favourite city,
With your buildings full of light?
You are like the bursting quiet
That comes upon at silvery night.

Chorus:
And love wants you to stay here right now
And love says you should go
And breathing is a little easier at first, when you're around
And then when you're gone...

Verse 3:
Would you be my favourite movie,
With your plot twists and your bends?
You are like the resolution
That comes before the open end.

Verse 4:
Would you be my favourite weather,
With your cool breeze floating on?
You are like the clouds that cover
And the crying of the dawn.

Chorus:
And love washes us in its flood
And love makes us run
And breathing is a little tough at first, when you're around
And then when you're gone... (audible sigh)
