about

I wrote this song right after I finished _bright smile black eyes_ and I go back and forth between loving and hating it. It's so simple and sweet, which is occasionally really pleasant and sometimes makes me want to dig my eyes out with a spoon. watch the video @ www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6NGP32JBwA

lyrics

when I sing for you, is it secret code?
caesar ciphers, one and zeroes
backward tracks and inverted chords
is our rosetta stone somewhere obscured?

are you threading a needle between danger and hope?
thinking, “I'd do anything to crack the code”
lord, just help her find the note
lord, just help her find the note

lord, just help her find the note
lord, just help her find the note
I should just say I'm in love with you
you know, I should just say I'm in love

I try to read between my own thin lines
holding back my hand when I want yours in mine
thinking, "I'd do anything to pause this moment in time"
I'd do anything to pause time

lord, just help me find the note
lord, just help me find the note
you know, I should just say I'm in love with you
you know, I should just say I'm in love with you
