about

I found a picture of an old friend and immediately wrote this song about the memories that flooded back to my mind. I felt that her life turned out well while mine hadn't yet.

lyrics

There's two bags of Orville in the microwave.
I keep time to the metronome of popping kernels.
You are only what's in the past.
In a photo finish I am second to last.

This is one day that words won't fail me.
This is solid gold deliberate.

I'm signing off this bad connection anyway,
I'm severing all ties with contentedness.
You are only a photograph
and I am only a passing fancy.

This is one day that words won't fail me.
This is solid gold deliberate.
I'm happy to see you here.

I do not appreciate this.
I do not appreciate that.
This is what you made for me.

Seal the sweet deal with licorice.
Brush off the standards and blow them away.
I can only be positive.
Overly sure of ignorance.

This is one day that words won't fail me.
This is solid gold deliberate.
This is Murphy making your life peachy.
This is rusted over pennies for me.
But I'm happy to see you here.
