about

One funny thing about this song is that my mom helped with some of the words. She pulled out her thesaurus and she may have come up with the title. I don't really remember. Andrew came up with some interesting production ideas. For me, I had written the song like maybe the day before and had no idea what the song was about yet.

lyrics

Star-crossed and starry-eyed.
Humbled and full of pride.
Hapless, hopeless indecision.
Tell yourself it’s television.
And that it’s all in your mind.

Take this now baby and you will only lose your mind.

Give it up now it’s you and me cheating death.
Live it up now ‘cause there’s no time for rest.
Close your eyes and let yourself taste success.

Rip my heart out tear it all open.
Fall apart and leave yourself broken.
I believe that the future is golden.

And I don’t even know your name.

Gumdrops and pouring rain.
Will things ever be the same?
Life’s let loose in front of me.
Love’s like truth inside of me.
And I tell myself it’s all in my mind.

Drink this down baby. And you will only lose your mind.

Give it up now it’s you and me cheating death
Live it up now ‘cause there’s no time for rest.
Close your eyes and let yourself feel impressed.

I’ve seen your fingertips straying.
Make-up, shake-up, whatever you’re playing.
I can hear it whatever you’re saying.
(Fake it, take it, stop you’re complaining.)

And I don’t even know your name.

Spring 2005
