Lyrics
Ni hao tristesse, ni hao my love, ni hao all these goddamn days
That I spend fixated, contemplating your semi gorgeous face
Your old dustbowl hands, your four a.m. serenade
That right now, right now, right now side of your brain
Your maraschino cherry stem stories, your Sunday DTs on the train
A job you found on a coaster, day after day in the rain
Everything, everything, everything comes down to you Charlemagne
I've heard love's a winning game, you get so high you float away
But it don't feel that great to me and I've studied love so closely
I will never blame you
Charlemagne oh Charlemagne
