You say horrible things
I laugh because I love you
And when you touch my skin, I think
This isn't boring

I ate a salad today
I ate one yesterday too
You told me I was precious, now I think
That I am too

We slide into your bed
And then I slide into you
We are two moving skins, I think
This isn't boring

I drive you to the gym
And then I wait there for you
You say to me as we get home
There's no one like you

My parents feel that
This is a waste of time
I tell them go away 'cause
Everything is just fine
My friends all feel that
I'm different around you
I tell them all that they are wrong
Because I love you

You feel difficult things
It's tweleve AM I hug you
You poured a bit of whisky
Hey, this isn't boring

You know that I don't drink it
It tastes like acetone
Now you don't want to talk
And I feel quite alone

I, have been a snake and
I, have been a dog
We've done this for a while
But now it's getting hard

My parents feel that
This is a waste of time
I tell them go away 'cause
Everything is just fine
My friends all feel that
I'm different around you
I tell them all that they are wrong
Because I love you

(Because I love you)

My parents feel that
This is a waste of time
I tell them go away
Everything is just fine
My friends all feel that
I'm different around you 
I tell them all that they are wrong
Because I love you

My parents feel that
This is a waste of time
I tell them we are okay, I won't admit but I am blind
My friends all feel that
I'm carrying us two
I tell them we are okay
Because I love you

Because I love you, because I love you
Because I love you, because I love you

Montaigne

Michel Eyquem, Seigneur de Montaigne ( mon-TAYN; French: [miʃɛl ekɛm də mɔ̃tɛɲ]; 28 February 1533 – 13 September 1592), commonly known as Michel de Montaigne, was one of the most significant philosophers of the French Renaissance. He is known for popularizing the essay as a literary genre. His work is noted for its merging of casual anecdotes and autobiography with intellectual insight. Montaigne had a direct influence on numerous Western writers; his massive volume Essais contains some of the most influential essays ever written. During his lifetime, Montaigne was admired more as a statesman than as an author. The tendency in his essays to digress into anecdotes and personal ruminations was seen as detrimental to proper style rather than as an innovation, an… more »
