Literature Lovers
All of the booksOn my shelf are unreadI keep them thereSo that they will impressWhen you come to stayYou'll be swept awayAs you thumb through the spinesI'm sure that you'll be mineWhen your eyes rest uponMiranda DuLisleShe's a fiery way with wordsOr so you have heardFrom your friendsAnd, what will you doWith those hopeless twoBoth pretending to be literature lovers insteadLa da daLa da daLa da da da da da daLa da daLa da daLa da da daLetras de cancionesThey can print a thousand pagesAll the paper filled with wordsAnd a multitude of metaphorsThat I have never heardMakes no difference to meIn the end, well, I'll say "I've read it all"But as the weight of these wordsStart to settle in my mindI'll never wait for a personTo genuinely findSomething deep inside myselfSomething more than just the books on my shelfAnd, what will you doWith those hopeless twoBoth pretending to be literature lovers insteadAll of the booksOn my shelf are unreadI keep them thereSo that they will impressWhen you come to stayYou'll be swept awayAnd me, I am just likeThe books on my shelfYou have never read my coverI have never read myselfThere are words to be saved, and,Words to be erasedAnd, what will you doWith those hopeless twoBoth pretending to be literature lovers insteadBoth pretending to be literature lovers instead
