about

A droning ballad about an ambivalent romance, it peak in tension, drops low, and culminates in playful ear-worm ba-duh-ba-ba's.

lyrics

He likes three syllabled words.
I look them up when he leaves.
Smarter than me in some things
but not smarter than me in some things
and everything I’ve learned from him,
he did not teach me.

Sometimes I stay when he leaves for work,
the woman downstairs calls for Angus
but a different colored cat arrives each day,
today it’s orange and grey,
I scrawl a letter but I crumble it before I leave.

Later on I leave a message
but I still leave my name,
think about the tree out back
that’s dead, but grows a disease, with branches and leaves, and it looks like a tree until, until you look closely.
