lyrics

He said he’d spell it but only once
“s-p-e-n-d-i-n-g more time”
but he’s no Mr. Conversation

Paying most his dues, and creating most his debt
in the backseat, with his girlfriend.

“But the trouble is, and the trouble is,
I’m still trying to talk to you.
And the trouble remains. You’re still here,
and what you don’t believe is that
I don’t even know myself. Every night I watch
a moth on my window, I wonder if
I should kill it.
We won’t it leave me alone?”

Is he too close for comfort?
Is he too far from himself?
I’ll say it again, he is no Mr. Conversation.
Fumbling words. He’s still too lost,
in the backseat, but that’s not his girlfriend.

“But the trouble is, and the trouble is,
I’m still trying to talk to you.
And the trouble remains. You’re still here,
and what you don’t believe is that
I don’t even know who you are. Every night I watch
a moth on my window, every night I wonder if
I should kill it.
We won’t it leave me alone?”

“Any other day of the week”
he tells himself
that’s a good excuse.
I think about him every time I kill a
moth on my window.
