To me the following are possibly the best lines FB has ever written:

"Wise is the tongue, wet of perfect though
And softest neck where always do I
Lay my clumsy thoughts"

The whole song is perfect but damn this caught me off guard in the car the other day. I had to listen to it on repeat.

The whole end part of the song is particularly brilliant. And it's an acrostic poem. And it's in the form of a Shakespearean sonnet. And it just flows so effortlessly.

Incredible.

"The arc of triumph"

Yes, that whole piece is the high-water mark in lyrics for me, too!

"If we hit this bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate."
