Story Behind The Song

the singer thinks in esoteric intellectual terms and is confronted by the simple challenge of someone being attracted to them on a romantic level, i think

Song Description

situational take on attraction between confidence-challenged singer and listener

Lyrics

Partners

Does anyone know all the laws of metaphysics, I don?t
will I come back at a higher or lower state of grace
is this all predetermined random coincidence
or just mutually exclusive affections that I can see and taste

Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction
sometimes it?s stranger than sarcasm and Sartre
sometimes i?m happy under anaesthesia
except when i can?t remember where my car is parked

You want to be partners
even after listening to me talk
even knowing how I think
you want to be partners

Stephen Hawking explained what happened before the beginning
but he didn?t say what preceded the scientist
who neutralized the extremes of ideology
and measured the sands of time as they shift
Sometimes your life could be a little easier
sometimes you?re beating your dead horse against the wall
sometimes you?re only mixing your metaphors
other times you?re full on breaking the law

You want to be partners
even when stupid things occur
and the picture of love starts to blur
you want to be partners
