A Fool in Love Again

I hung a "Closed" sign on the left side of my chest,
Told myself: "Buddy, relax, give it a rest."
Bought a subscription to a quiet, boring life,
Where there’s no drama, and no sharp emotional knife.


I almost learned how to sleep through the night...
But you walked into the elevator and just said "Hi".
And my praised cynicism... well, it withered and died.


Where is my umbrella? I'm standing in the rain again.
We aren't even going anywhere, not then, not when.
But here I am, choosing names...
For a cat.

Припев
Here we go again, twenty-five, hello once more.
Look who returned to this circus floor.
I'm a fool in love again, (what a clich;!)
Lost control, reality’s gone astray.
Smiling at shop windows like a total moron.
Who knew this train would keep rolling on?
A fool again... but it suits me, come on.




Yesterday I Googled "how not to look like a lovesick dog,"
Today I’m under your window, standing in the fog
With a bicycle wheel. Don't ask, it’s a long story.
I just wanted to see your eyes in their glory.
My logic went out the window for a smoke,
And it seems it’s done with living—what a joke.


Friends say: "Run while you're still whole."
But that, it seems, was exactly my goal.
To be vulnerable, funny, ridiculous, and bright,
Warming myself under this strange, terrifying light.




Ba-da-ba-da... du-du-n-day...
Wait, I’m not done!
Yes, definitely a fool.
But a happy one.
