lyrics

Wish I could write you a folk song
just to say how I feel, play how I feel about you.
And how you do, harder to write when inspired;
unfortunately true.

Really think sad, folk Americana, cafe Americano
would show how I feel about you.
And how you do, you’re the best kind of writer’s block;
I can’t get the blues.

It’s a shame I can’t explain why I breathe when you do.
Hands varnished by glassy eyes threw me for a loop,
it’s a shame I can’t explain…

Wish I could write you a folk song
with a little mandolin, bit of fiddling for you.
And how you groove, but I can’t find a tune that’s suitable
for the mood.

I take my coffee black: how I like my songs.
A little dark, steamy, bittersweet attitude.
But not with you, my dear you’re the best kind of sweet;
I can’t get the blues.

It’s a shame I can’t explain why I breathe when you do.
Hands varnished by glassy eyes threw me for a loop,
it’s a shame I can’t explain…

I can’t find a reason either way to kiss the season far away or behind.
Do you see? If every piece of day we gave to the cloudy way we’d believe.
