about
I started writing this song at 25 and got stuck. Recently, I came across a sheet of lyrics (much like an overdue book) & completed the song at 39.
Going to re-track the vocals with the 441 & possibly have JK add drums.
lyrics
fire burns slower when you stay
plant my feet firmly before you walk away
why'd you have to go and do me like that?
& call me the kettle while I paint the pot black

facing facts, outta gas, cold cash, get the tab I'll hit you back
this is why I never wanna go downtown
monsoon of memories come crashing down
just like the walls that once surrounded you
they once surrounded you

25 candles on that cake
back when I was bold enough to engineer an earthquake
i'm every borrowed book that you've misplaced
yeah the debts been forgiven & the living's been good
knock on wood, knock on

would you still love me if i was just a worm in the dirt
& tell me did it hurt when you fell from the frying pan into the fryer
I'll sit & wait for you like a bird on a wire
