Sitting on the pavement, I looked up at the sky,
Where I could see the stars from all the way down.

I knew outright in my heart
That you will be the best friends I’ll get
Who will make each day the best yet

Senses
Sizzle from the pan,
Coated in butter.

That can make a better nation.
Love is about caring;
To love, you have to be daring.
