about

Written by Eric Walsh 2011

lyrics

I woke a little shook up and a little bereaved.
When I dreamt that I smelled your breath.
I took a little comfort from the consequence
of having not made my bed since you left it.

I talk too much. I talk too late.
I've got plenty of sensible things to say.
I've got sentences. They could go for days.
When my sentiments get bent out of shape.

Just kiss me.
Even though you’re not in love.
Kiss me. Even though I know you're above me.
Kiss me. If only just to shut me up

I kept a photograph of the back of your neck
on a pin-board by the steps.
As a little sign or a kind of reminder
of the last of the luck I had left.

I talk too much, but not so straight.
I could say what I want and give nothing away.
I could tell you to go and convince you to stay.
I could totally blow it in hopes that you'd kiss me.

Even though you're not in love.
Kiss me. Even though I know you're above me.
Kiss me. If only just to shut me up.

Called you up on the telephone.
Wish I could just wrap a lasso around and pull
all the words that I say make me sound a fool.
I left too many noises and not enough news and
as I'm explaining the way that I'm feeling
my words inextricably shape their own meaning.
I told you before. It's not worth repeating
again and again and again and again

Kiss me one time then we can be friends again.

Kiss me. Even though you're not in love.
Kiss me. Even though I know you're above me.
Kiss me. If only just to shut me up.
