so long shuffle

about

I tried to write a happy song, but it fell in line with a bad crowd. This poor creature suffered for a long time on the operating table until a wise man pointed out that the bass was sharp and I figured out that the chorus wasn't one.

lyrics

i wait
for a single note from you
i lean
so far that i fall

silence - is all that i get from you
i guess - you're letting me crawl
these words - are all i that have for you
i guess - you gave it your all

let go
this weightless anxiety
stay calm
alone in this crowd

i wish - i knew what to say to you
do you - think i'm too proud
i wish - the best of the best for you
there i - said it aloud

i walk like i’m gonna fall over
i dance like i’m gonna fall down
no balance i’m a jangly lover
heart heavy i shuffle around

and maybe someday you’ll walk up and touch me
will you say oh lover you wanna dance?
we’ll turn and we’ll spin and we’ll laugh so giddy
we’ll burn and we’ll crash just like we did before

i take
all of my love for you
leave it
all at your door

i want - just one thing from you
one more - turn on the floor
i want - this one thing from you
one last - turn on the floor

i walk like i’m gonna fall over
i dance like i’m gonna fall down
no balance i’m a jangly lover
heart heavy i shuffle around

i drink like i’m gonna fall over
i love full tilt and down
no balance i’m a jangly lover
heart heavy i shuffle around
