ayomiro. - nymph of ogygia lyrics
verse 1:
late-night, hit you with a text, you’re still sleepin’
listing all the reasons why i love you, in sequence
twisting at my ring, silver shining like sequins
l-o-v-e, whisper words like a secret
promise i can keep is, i’ll be there for you
that’s why the heart that i sent was blue
strength, fidelity, t-r-u
s-t, like besties since the age of two
sh-t’s gone past, “you were kinda cute”
it’s become, lane-switching, different att-tude
i’m on h-e-r with the avenue
am i driving fast while under twenty-two?
we say a lot more when the volume’s mute
just a smile and a wink like a flirt would do
but i say words just to lighten up the mood
but you speak like the world’s knees are glued
to the surface. i know that you’re perfect
clap it up, you deserve it
subtle things when i’m workin’
just to show that i’m worth it. you got my heart turning
inside-out like a bundt cake shaken down
a couple feet in your sea, i drown
don’t know if preservers can save me now…
hook (x2):
too many words (too many words i can say to you)
but not enough words (not enough words convey the truth.)
you’re heaven on earth (you are the hope within my view)
you give life worth (mi amor, if you only knew)
verse 2:
they say absence makes the heart grow fonder
so i read past texts, as the days grow longer
just to keep you with me, make your presence stronger
your soul’s a forest i would love to wander
there’s a lot to ponder, and a lot to praise
and a lot to process, and you still amaze
i’m romeo with the longing gaze
when i see your face on my insta page
from the whisper stage to i miss you, babe
from ludus to eros to agape
it’s commonplace to use a polished phrase
but in certain frames, there’s no words to say
because i can’t speak: simple words are weak
when comparing your intelligence and beauty
to another muse, ‘cause you’re a rubik’s cube
and i’m logic trying to find the truth to you
there’s no proof to use, like geometry
when my love for you is like astronomy
just two stars that seemed pretty far to me
only to realize those stars were in my reach
they were you and me, stars crossed but no fault in thee
i lose my mind, lobotomy
a lot of these ring of hyperbole
but there’s no other to say you mean everything
never had to rethink the feelings within
‘cause i love to play along like you on the violin
violet imagery livin’ in the sheepskin
presented to you in the hopes of a sleek grin
conversations with you are my weekend
even if we’re talking on a monday evening
you reprimand when i apprehend
can’t comprehend how i’m such a lucky man
when clutching hands, it’s similar to sunday bands
jazzy, how it renovates the mundane plans
warm like tan, cold enough to need no fan
strong like brands, knowing that you’re in my clan
though we’re short on span, you will live forever
through the words of the bird with a likened feather
through the feelings and the thoughts that are tightly tethered
since my love for you is unmeasured
hook x2:
too many words (too many words i can say to you)
but not enough words (not enough words convey the truth.)
you’re heaven on earth (you are the hope within my view)
you give life worth (mi amor, if you only knew)
outro:
if an artist falls in love with you, you will never die
