about
A song about not being able to write a song about it... with a show-don't-tell ending.
lyrics
if i put all that's true
about how things are and how they've been between me and you
in a song
they'd all doubt me;
they'd get mad,
and say i was wrong.
because i am not a unicorn,
and you are not a goddess,
i guess;
except i know you are.
and you and i together
are not the center of the universe;
except -
that is what we are.
and if i told how it goes
when you walk in the room, and what happens to my toes
in a song -
and i sang it -
to an audience - i wouldn't last too long
when i write this song
i'll try not to ramble on
i have to tell the truth,
but tell it slantwise or nowise
and i can't talk about your eyes at all...
or maybe i'll just play, after all.
