about
Our fourth single! Recorded live in Studio Three at EastWest, Los Angeles, CA.
lyrics
What to give the girl with everything?
No idea where to look
Where to even start
She's already got a brightness and a darkness
And a brillance
And a deep and mighty heart
She's already got a favorite chair to curl up in
Ditch the world
Find some quiet time
She's already got two cities' worth of everything that's mine
She's already got a half a dozen
Tiny wooden music boxes
Only she can play
And a shirt with
"Please Don't Eat Me I Love You"
Coming from a slice of pizza with a face
And the skills to cockblock me at a party
Just walk over, steal my chick
And take her home
Laugh about it in the morning at the diner, all alone
Then I look up from my coffee
And she's listening
No, really listening
I can tell her anything at all
Everybody else I find
Can cut and run and hide
She's still gonna pick up when I call
What to give the girl with everything?
Obvious
But I don't wanna do it just because
Situation's got me Brian Wilson crazy
Which is probably why
This sounds the way it does
And I don't get why you stick with me
Patiently standing by
While I waste my time
Writing songs for lots of jerks who don't deserve a single line
This one's a little weird
But it's for you
I hope you're listening
No, really listening
'Cause you are my favorite thing of all
Everybody else I find
Can cut and run and hide
I'm so glad you pick up when I call
Promise I'll be listening
No, really listening
You can tell me anything at all
Everybody else you find
Can cut and run and hide
I will always pick up when you call
What kind of world is this?
It's kind of crap.
But I've got you
It's all cool
Please don't eat me I love you
