Lyrics

the way you play is so graceful
the way I play is so forceful

smooth
efficient
gliding from note to note

while I bang my stump on the fretboard

----
you - breathing
me - bleeding
----
you - singing
me - screaming
----
you - fleeing
me - fleeing
----

the way you play is so beautiful
the way I play is so neanderthal

I'm so lonely here without you
I'm trying to find my way home
I'll pretend that it's cool
I'll pretend everything is fine, yeah

I'm sitting here...
with my head in my hands
I don't understand
don't know what to do
I'm just thinking about you

where are your bare legs
where's that dress you barely wore
where's that smile as big as a balloon
where's that laughter
I hear laughter

I'm sitting here...

Oh, won't you buy me a red balloon?

write once
scratch twice
crumple it up & throw it out

a good idea
at first
never wanders far
before it is squashed

maybe
just maybe
once
an idea cuts through the filter

A flip
a turn
a hand on your waist
tongues searching
for souls lost

how could I have forgotten?
the heat

Summer night
sandals in the park
Gazing up at stars...

innocent little dress
the smell of your skin
heavy breath

how could I have forgotten?

there's something about the way
you say
something about the way
you say

i don't ... know
the way your words
flow

there's something about the way
you say
something about the way
you say

makes me so blue
i can see how vulnerable
tell me why can't i understand
you

everytime i look into
your eyes
everytime i look into
your eyes

makes me so blue...
