[Verse 1]
She said she don't believe in regrets
Well I regret to inform her that I do
Rainfall on a tin roof, inside I sit and scribble a Haiku
On the napkin that came inside of our takeaway Thai food
It goes: "Our time is always, our season is all year round
This is our secret" for as long as we can keep it
The deepest of secrets that nobody knows
The root of the root, the bud of the bud and so it goes
And the lyrics of a 1000 songs couldn't paint her picture
So beautiful, she had me from my first conversation with her
See, nobody was ever as clever
And I still can't figure how they put her together
Sittin' in the room where we first got lost in one another
Just trippin' off the feelin' of together we'd discovered
And I'm reminiscin' on days past, escapin' to Pearl
Before takin' that whole and makin' it two halves
But it was scary to be even this close to a perfect fit
Close your eyes, I promise this won't hurt a bit
This is the kind of love that inspires the stuff I write my poems to
The kind of love you have to leave, just to come home to

[Chorus]
You play with fire and you get burnt
For all the things that I have learnt
And I would love to walk you home
If not the one, then you're the first
For all the things that I have learnt
And I would love to be
The one to walk you home
[Verse 2]
Now ain't it funny
How the ones that you drag all the way through your hell
The same who can teach you how to touch heaven as well
And now it's out of order and we oughta know
You try to fit a square through a circle and its flaws will show
And it's gone now, you wouldn't even know it was there
But you'd get lost tryna navigate the moments we've shared
Like when we held each other's hands and we said goodbye
Tears streamin' out our eyes like somebody had died
Now it's the day after your birthday and it's pourin' outside
And I'm catchin' arrow tips with my fingers down the phone line
See, she broke my heart on the river
The trump played last gets the job done quicker
So I'm singin' to my palindromic angel, held her too tightly
Wings got broken and the love got strangled, but
I don't wanna hold you back, girl, go fly
Conquer yourself, all the corners of the sky
But I hope that you are close by on the day that I leave
This world with hands held, we can close our eyes
And let the second hand go by
'Cause I wouldn't wanna not say goodbye
Let you know that you touched my life
And whether I like it or not, I think a part of me will never give up this fight
'Cause there's nothin' like you and I
No, there's nothin' like you and I
But it's gettin' late in the game now, outcome's uncertain
These are things that I needed to say before the curtain
So I wrote you the song that you deserve to let you know
You will always be my first and most wonderful love
[Chorus]
You play with fire and you get burnt
For all the things that I have learnt
And I would love to walk you home
If not the one, then you're the first
For all the things that I have learnt
And I would love to be
The one to walk you home

[Outro]
And I would love to be
The one to walk you home
And I would love to be
The one to walk you home
Said I would love to be
The one to walk you home
Said I would love to be
The one to walk you home
(To be the one to walk you home) Said I would love to be
(To be the one to walk you home) The one to walk you home
(To be the one to walk you home) And I would love to be
(To be the one to walk you home) The one to walk you home
(To be the one to walk you home) And I would love to be
(To be the one to walk you home) The one to walk you home
(To be the one to walk you home) Said I would love to be
(To be the one to walk you home) The one to walk you home
Said I would love to be
The one to walk you home
Can I walk you home?
