All That Cliché Shit by Lilly Penhall
You light up my life
Every time we say goodbye I die a little
I don’t hardly know you but I think I could love you
Come on baby, light my fire
Let’s get it on
I’ve hungered for your touch
You & me could write a bad romance
There’s something about you that makes me sweat
You make me feel shiny and new like a virgin
Ain’t no sunshine when you’re gone
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

I have nothing to say that isn’t a pop song lyric
My paltry vocabulary fails to illustrate open-ended passion

You could be my everlasting muse
I would work for eternity
just trying to find the right combination of words
in the English language
to describe the wonder of you
or learn Greek since they have more precise words

Books upon books I could write
if I could keep myself from going insane
inside of the overloaded thoughts
I could only hope I wouldn’t bore you
searching for that eureka for the rest of my life
My cause of death will either be success or failure

You can steal bicycles at my request
dare me to tackle mermaids
I will immortalize every inch of your skin
every movement of your tongue
until I decode the recipe of sounds
discover the larger words that encompass the truth

You’re just too good to be true
Nothing compares 2 U
I’m hopelessly devoted
and all that cliché shit
