about

Fun Fact(s): The remaster has an original track added into the mix for the first time (omitted from the first release of the song) featuring my good friend Paige Bailey playing the violin. The original record was supposed to have violin on everything, but I scrapped the idea at the last second because I was running out of time before moving to Washington state (AKA "the edge of the earth") for a while. Most of the songs had rough violin takes recorded, but I ended up losing them. All except this one :-( Otherwise I would have added more back in! Coulda woulda shoulda.

lyrics

It's time you let me kiss that whisper on your lip that only I would notice. And I'm really going to leave. I have to, I don't want to. It's not like I can call you whenever I need to. And it's finally sinking in, but it's cool, I hope we can stay friends. At least you've got me singing again. I've watched you hold your own hand, and I've wished that it was mine on our train rides. I can't be happy all the time. Now all I do is frighten you. I count my steps and hold my breath whenever I walk home alone. Wrap me up in rain and lightning. I guess it struck you that I'm not striking. I lie and lie and lie and try to smile, 'cause you still make me smile. You and I are the selfish kind. Now I'm off to the edge of the earth. You and I are the selfish kind, but it's not like I can call you whenever I want to.
