about

To be (loved) or not to be (loved) - that is the question. Though, this is the question that I’m asking: “is there any way that I can truly impress you - and if I manage to do so - will that be enough for this relationship to precede and remain?”. To desperately try to be with another person feels a lot like being the jester of some castle of infeasible expectation. It simply doesn’t matter how greatly you juggle your balls: some kings (or queens) won’t be amused. Abolish the monarchy!

lyrics

I wish I could impress you with my words
I wish I could impress you with my love

Even when I make ten odes a day
That is not enough for you to stay

When will I ever be enough
When will you give me all your love

I wish I could impress you with my tongue
I wish I could impress you in the long run

When we started out you thought I was fun
When we started out our love was so young

When will this drought/joke come to an end
When will we not only be friends

I wish I could impress you with my skills
I wish you for my love would ten men kill
