Kawaii Kitty Cafe

lyrics

I met you on 4th St outside the cat cafe
A winter where I lost myself, the year that you disengaged
Your eyes flaked with dust like some undiscovered jewel
My face was flushed from the cold & I was smiling blankly like a fool

Some cats hide, all of them are hungry, Fanny Pack's clipped ear
Some dream of missing eyes & the masters who left them here
The weight of your hand on mine flipping through pages in a picture book
The way you say goodbye leaves me gutted & rotted out like wood

No one knows who you are until you show your heart
No one knows who you are when you're a work of art
You are, you are, you are

I love you as much as any stranger could
As much as anyone who's ever disappointed you
The way you say goodnight warms me like a stone
And I don't want to face the end of this terrible year alone

No one knows who you are until you show your heart
No one knows who you are when you're a work of art
You are, you are, you are
