Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Roller coasters and Earl Grey malts
Ocelot babies, but not bath salts
A harvest moon in the arms of a tree
Which has been growing there for centuries
[Verse 2]
Bassoons, trombones, and French horn sections
Bass clarinets and string art collections
Owls and good socks when they do not match
Gilda, Kristen, Cheri, Tina, Amy, and Rachel Dratch
[PreChorus]
All these things, they're just disappointing
All these things, they're just disappointing compared to you
[Chorus]
There's nothing more beautiful than your smile as it conquers your face
There's nothing more comforting than to know
Know you exist in this time, in this place
[Verse 3]
The genitive case in German, it's true
Is something that I am quite partial to
Rachmaninov, Scriabin, Prokofiev
Dostoevsky, Bulgakov, Vysotsky, and Lev
[Verse 4]
Francis Bacon and the Dolomites
Ballet dancers with or without tights
Central Park on an autumn day
Will always be stunning and never cliché
[PreChorus]
All these things, they're just disappointing
All these things, they're just disappointing compared to you
[Chorus]
There's nothing more beautiful than your smile as it conquers your face
There's nothing more comforting than to know
Know you exist in this time, in this place
[PreChorus]
All these things, they're just disappointing
All these things, they're just disappointing compared to you
[Chorus]
There's nothing more beautiful than your smile as it conquers your face
There's nothing more comforting than to know
Know you exist in this time, in this place
