In the cold and dark hours of philosophy
_____
When we always answer the same questions
_____
Why are we here? Where are we going? Does God exist?
_____
Did the egg come first or the Chicken McNuggets?
_____
I wondered, if I'd invited you to the movies
_____
Which movie you'd have preferred to watch
_____
Some shabby love flick or an intellectual-ish one
_____
Dogma 95 style or Citizen Kane style
_____
So I fell in love with you maybe
_____
Because I had nothing to get high on, or maybe
_____
Because my grandma wanted me to take to lunch
_____
A girl so she'd realize I wasn't gay
_____
What an enchanted fairy tale senior year was
_____
And the little notes inside the calculator
_____
And the trips to modern art museums
_____
I could've made it myself, this one!
_____
I also thought that you, being so pretty, must have some flaw
_____
Maybe you're with the League or a Jehovah's Witness, maybe you're missing a kidney
_____
Maybe it's because I ride Trenitalia too often
_____
But I don't believe in coincidences
_____
And if you're here it's because God wants me to throw the nicest jacket I own
_____
Over some puddle
_____
The nihilism of a 1920s black-and-white movie
_____
Watched on an HD TV
_____
And losing wings and halos while wandering
_____
Crushed by the sky over Pavia
_____
But nobody will ever manage to pass the med school entry test
_____
Nobody will ever manage to pass the med school entry test
_____
Nobody will ever manage to pass the med school entry test
_____
Truth is, the rain was drowning us
_____
And we had fun using the umbrella
_____
Like a boat, and now that we're all soaked our
_____
Moms will kick us out of the house and never open the door again
_____
Always keep the fear of stepping
_____
On the line that divides one tile from the next
_____
Or you'll fall into lava and dissolve
_____
And your mother will then come looking for me
_____
How's it going? How are you? All good?
_____
Nothing new on the occipital front?
_____
Maybe now you're so smart
_____
That you'd pass the med school test
_____
But my love, how awful to find out we're normal
_____
And only get the study method the night before the exams
_____
And blame anxiety for every botched attempt
_____
And at the end of days hypocritically think that
_____
All things considered, we've had a good life
_____
You're the sky in a room, I'm claustrophobia
_____
You're the world war, I'm the batrachomyomachia
_____
You're Keira Knightley, I'm Klaus Kinski
_____
You're the Wembley Stadium concert, I'm a record shop
_____
You're the anthem song, I'm the filler track
_____
You never say hi but you're clean, I always say hi and I'm a serial killer
_____
You're a suffragette, I'm an Afghan woman
_____
You're daddy's little girl and I'm Franz Kafka
_____
You're the graduation grade, I'm the high school one
_____
You ran away and I'm still stuck here
_____
So it'll be easier to try again next year, even though I know that
_____
Nobody will ever manage to pass the med school entry test
Not even me, not even you
