about

At the suggestion of my friend Chimene, I wrote a song about the sunny things I'd want from love.

lyrics

I've been looking around, trying to find the key that fits inside this door
There's nothing that fits, the lock never clicks
I didn't think it'd open anymore
And they all say, "Babe it's so insane to keep on hoping through this rain,"
But I just want somebody to

Dance me outta my shoes
Walk me over to the sunny side
Flip them softly 'til the yolks are fried
Help me to unsing the blues
Dance me outta my clothes
Spin me around 'til only heaven knows
The things we do together all alone
I'll help you unlearn them too

Because I've been looking around, trying to find the key that fits inside this door
There's nothing that fits, the lock never clicks
I didn't think it'd open anymore
But then I saw you when you fell,
The light it struck my eyes just like a spell
This magic blew in fast and then it turned us both inside out

Dance me outta my shoes
Walk me over to the sunny side
Flip them softly 'til the yolks are fried
Help me to unsing the blues
Dance me outta my clothes
Spin me around 'til only heaven knows
The things we do together all alone
I'll help you unlearn them too

Because you know that there is a doorframe
By the counter where all my memories hang
I'd wipe it clean so I can write your name,
And someday I'll write mine there too
Yes cause you know this kitchen sink drain
As clean as it stays
I wish that you were here
We'd bottle up all of our lonely years
And then we'd rinse them away

And they all say, "Hey it's so insane,"
That we found each other in this rain
But now we both have someone to

Dance us out of our shoes
Walk us over to the sunny side
Flip them softly 'til the yolks are fried
We both can using the blues
Dance me outta my clothes
Spin me around 'til only heaven knows
The things we do together all alone
I'll help you unlearn them too

Dance me outta my shoes
Walk me over to the sunny side
Flip them softly 'til the yolks are fried
Help me to unsing the blues
Dance me outta my clothes
Spin me around 'til only heaven knows
The things we do together all alone
I'll help you unlearn them too
