lyrics

Happy Ignorance

We stepped into a boat
Knowing nothing ‘bout the trip
The fee or destination
It was pure excitement
Nothing else
It was enough
There were no warning signs or obligations
I want to stay where we are
This is the perfect state
A state of happy ignorance
This thing
The eternal fling
Is it real love
That thing we are dreaming of
My whole life
Has been cut into parts
Short stories and encores
And the casual vernissage

Just a few months later, everything turned to normal, whatever normal may be. We got used to the views and to the sound of the door when you came home from work late at night. We started obeying to the laws of repetition without noticing it, it seemed to be something rather natural. Maybe it was the moment things really should have begun. Instead, we didn’t do
anything in order to continue on this road trip, that started as an adventurous one – and ended like a nightmare.

This thing
The eternal fling
Is it real love
That thing we are dreaming of
My whole life
Has been cut into parts
Short stories and encores
And the casual vernissage
