about

Oof. So I wrote this last night on acoustic, being inspired by both *anime* (less directly than usual, though) and Elliott Smith's "Waltz #1". And today I just went crazy with overdubs, adding extra harmonies, slide guitar, bass, and tambourine samples (from freewavesamples.com) because I couldn't find mine.

I'm in love with this one. Turned really bitter really quickly.

lyrics

Verse 1:
I love it when you stroke my hair
I love your voice
I love your stare
I love your scarlet eyes and I love

Everything there is to love
About you, girl
You're so much fun
Which means you'll say goodbye because

Chorus:
Unusually, it's going well
A storm is coming, I can tell
The waves will wash you somewhere
That you'd

Rather be, that's lacking me
And you'll get good publicity
From Mr. Picture Perfect
Who's got

Verse 2:
Reputation to uphold
So you'll see me
And turn ice cold
But wait, that's not the end of it

He'll give you an expensive ring
And you'll be married
By the spring
You said you weren't that easy? Bullshit

Chorus:
But none of that has happened yet
So why do I get so upset?
When I don't have the proof
To say you'd

Jump ship at the sign of fear
And start by getting out of here
When all I really know
Is that

Verse 3:
I love it when you stroke my hair
I love your voice
I love your stare
I love your scarlet eyes
