about

"...and that, kids, is how I met your mother."

Written by Andrew Nieporent, 2016.

lyrics

The summer came in cool this year,
a Brooklyn breeze whispered in my ear.
From the rooftop of a friend,
I searched the skyline for a fitting end.
The trees were sprouting emeralds and the river
gave me back my sight,
and the sun was just a blurred bright orb,
too afraid to stand up for its rights.

I met her at a question mark,
at the space where every sentence starts.
Leopard skins and cinnamon,
with eyes like true containers of a heart.
We danced and I was seeing a beginning
that I could see was mine,
so I guess all that I'm trying to do
is ask if I can see you again sometime.
I guess all that I'm trying to do
is ask if I can see you again sometime.
