A Flaky Kind of Love

Lyrics

[Intro – Soft female vocals] Breaking up slowly… Was never really my style. Gavin, baby, hold me closer, Just another little while… [Verse 1] Gavin had a vision, Gavin had a plan, California governor, presidential man. Whispered in her ear beneath the chandelier, “Kimberly, our future’s looking crystal clear.” “You could be First Lady, standing by my side.” She looked into his eyes, but something caught her eye. Across the room, a beautiful disaster, Junior at the table, living life much faster. [Verse 2] Collar wide open, looking presidential, Scotch and vodka, confidence exponential. Five o’clock shadow, tie hanging loose, Doing mammoth rails with a reckless excuse. She said, “Good Lord, now there’s a man of action!” Gavin kept on talking, lost her satisfaction. He said, “Think of all the things that we could be!” She said, “Honey, I just spotted destiny.” [Pre-Chorus] One man offered her tomorrow, One man offered her tonight. One was talking California, One was flying higher than a kite. [CHORUS] Breaking up slowly? Baby, breaking up QUICK! Saw Junior in the corner, And something just clicked! Gavin wants the White House, Junior’s got the key. Why wait for an election When there’s opportunity? Oh, Kimberly, Kimberly, Champagne in her hand, She came in with a governor, Left with another man! [Verse 3] Gavin said, “Sweetheart, where you going?” She said, “Just exploring where the wind is blowing.” “But I thought we had a future!” “Darling, yes, we did. But you keep talking someday, And I’m not getting any younger, kid.” Junior raised his glass, she returned a little wink, Gavin stood there wondering what the hell to think. The DJ played Lana, the ballroom turned blue, She whispered, “It’s not me, Gavin. Actually, it’s you.” [Bridge – Spoken Dialogue] Gavin: “Kimberly, what about our dreams?” Kimberly: “I found a more immediate opportunity.” Gavin: “He’s not even wearing a tie!” Kimberly: “Neither will I, darling.” Beat drops. [Verse 4] From Sacramento nights to Manhattan lights, Trading campaign speeches for some different fights. She wasn’t chasing love, she was chasing history, How the evening ended remains a mystery. But somewhere in the ballroom, Gavin stood alone, Still rehearsing speeches on his cellular phone. [FINAL CHORUS] Breaking up slowly? Ain’t nobody got the time! She was dreaming of the Oval, He was dreaming ’bout a line. One man had ambition, One man had the name, Kimberly saw the shortcut And abandoned the campaign! [Outro – Lana-inspired melancholy] Some dreams take forever… Some dreams take one night. Gavin wanted four more years. Kimberly wanted a flight. Breaking up slowly… Nah, baby. Chow time. 🎶
