about

* i hate this one

i sat on the intro guitar riff for a long time and could never figure out how to build a song around it. i tried to do a pains of being pure at heart kind of thing but never got it quite right. the trumpet part is terrible because i hadnt touched my trumpet for like 7 years when i recorded this

anyway, here it is *

lyrics

the first time that he caught your eye
he was funny, you were shy
he won your heart with playful flattery
in the dark of the art supply room
next to the paints and the smocks and the push brooms
lost time studying anatomy

twenty-one and full of promise
you didn’t want yourself to want this
a stubborn muscle is the heart
racing towards him ever faster
hidden beauty in disaster
an accidental work of art

and i just called to say i miss you
but i would never cross an ocean
for you
yeah it’s a sentimental issue
but we’re in love in a crashing car
it’s true

despite a prurient education
he vanished after graduation
you know it happens now and then
you’ve got to give yourself permission
maybe feminine intuition
isn’t going to let you down again, again

and i just called to say i miss you
but i would never cross an ocean
for you
yeah it’s a sentimental issue
but we’re in love in a crashing car
it’s true

and i just called to say i miss you
but i would never cross an ocean
for you
yeah it’s a sentimental issue
but we’re in love in a crashing car
it’s true

and i just called to say i miss you
and i just called to say i miss you
