about

Sometimes songwriting is about the poetry, about arduous struggling and fussing with rhyme and meter and metaphor. Sometimes songwriting is a straight up gift from the cosmos. Sometimes songwriting is about singing the same basic nonsense syllables into a tape recorder over and over until they begin to become words, and hoping that those words actually make sense. This is one of those latter songs.

lyrics

Windows open wide
Let the wind blow out the dust that's inside
Skin against skin
Breath follows breath under ambient light

And we'll play it out again
And we'll stay the same til it ends

And it's come on so badly that I can't remember my name
And you catch on so quickly it's like we invented the game
In the daylight we'll have to speak have to reconcile
Naked without shame and our clothes tossed off in a pile

And we'll play it out again
And we'll stay the same til it ends

You fight with your weakness you love with such innocence
And you beg me to lie to you before you get any rest

And we'll play it out again
And we'll stay the same til it ends
And we'll play it out again
And we'll stay the same til it ends

Windows open wide
Let the wind blow out the lust that's inside
Skin against skin
Breath follows breath
I can't sleep tonight
