Eighty days around the world
The reference is to Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days (Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours, Paris: Pierre-Jules Hetzel, 1873.) In the story, Phileas Fogg of London and his newly employed French valet Passepartout attempt to circumnavigate the world in 80 days on a £20,000 wager set by his friends at the Reform Club.

I remember when I first noticed that you liked me back, we were sitting in a restaurant waiting for the check.
You leapt from crumbling bridges watching cityscapes turn to dust.
I want to line my walls with photographs you sent of you lying in your swimsuit on the bed.
On the Lower East Side you’re dancing with me now and I’m taking pictures of you with flowers on the wall.
I built an opera house for you in the deepest jungle and walked across its stage, singing with my eyes closed.
Because this is where I want to be, where it’s so sweet and heavenly.
And we laugh into the microphone and sing with our sunglasses on, to our favorite songs.

All this happened, more or less. The war parts, anyway, are pretty much true. One guy I knew really was shot in Dresden for taking a teapot that wasn’t his.
