about

this track was written about my childhood crush. growing up in the closet made it difficult to fulfill the dreams i had for us. so, this song captures the angst and, once again, the unrequited love that defines so many of my songs.

lyrics

just got something
caught in my mouth
so, excuse me won’t you
if i indulge you with
this truth

there you are again
asking me without question
what games i’m up to now
‘cause you know
these games are all you know

and now i’m back
in high school again
‘n you’re sittin’ there
at my study hall
euchre table
watchin’ me take every hand
but leavin’ yours alone
‘cause i know you too well
to force you to loose

oh, but i could
and sometimes i want to
just to see
if you’d run
to catch my hand
‘n tell me that you’d die
if i were gone.
