about

Connor Jones came up with the title for this one. I used to play this song as an instrumental opener a lot back in Autumn 2011 and didn't write lyrics until May 2012. To be honest, I'm not really that stoked on how it came out.

lyrics

Why is it so hard for us to say,
"We are two human beings with feelings for each other?"
We rely on our friends to relay
all our stupid meanings to one another
What's the worst thing that can happen
from being honest with ourselves?
I like you and hope you like me too.
And that's good enough for me.
That's good enough for me.

Please say you want to be with me;
that is all I want to hear.
I like your hair so much better now.
Short hair, don't care, uncovered ears
What's the worst thing that can happen
from being honest with ourselves?
I like you and hope you like me too.
And that's good enough for me.
That's good enough for me.

So we are now strung together
Like a Natalie Portmanteau
What's the worst thing that can happen
from being honest with ourselves?
I can't scream "I love you" so I'll have to say it softly for now.
