lyrics

Checkerboard Unicorn

(chorus)
Checkerboard Unicorn in the ocean
Heartbreakers don’t exist
Not even one

I’ll shoot rainbows from my eyes at you
You will like it even if you cry
You know it’s true
They’re tears of joy
So just be cool

Consider it a cleanse
You’ll be happier in the end

(chorus)

I’ve been trying to explain for days
This lack of love it brings me pain
In many ways
I wish that maybe you could stay

I promise we’ll have fun
And that you are the only one

(chorus)
