Story Behind The Song

Relationship examination song featuring acoustic guitar, harmonica, brushes. Very indie, with somewhat sarcastic lyrics.

Lyrics

You tell me things in the middle of the night
But all it does is get me all uptight
Just look me in the eye
Say goodbye
Just let it lie

All I want is a little bit of sleep
Get some shuteye for about a week
Just look me in the eye
Say goodbye
Just let it lie

Gotta hunker down at the cabin door
Stoke the fire with the clothes you wore
Just look me in the eye
Say goodbye
Just let it lie

This roller coaster is movin' too damn slow
Why'd you have to spit on the carnie down below?
Just look me in the eye
Say goodbye
Just let it lie

So many things I try to get across
Girl, you got too much fish on that tartar sauce
Just look me in the eye
Say goodbye
Just let it lie

Hundred dollar bill in my hand today
And your love is a price I just can't pay
Just look me in the eye
Say goodbye
Just let it lie

You knock me down when I'm on my feet
You spit me out between your teeth
Just look me in the eye
Say goodbye
Just let it lie

Got my feet in the water, cool off my toes
You throw me an anchor, down I go
Just look me in the eye
Say goodbye
Just let it lie

So I'm heading West, towards the sea
I hear the fish are bitin', I'm running free
Just look me in the eye
Say goodbye
Just let it lie
