about

This song is about the frustration of repeatedly chasing someone who does not seem to know what to do with excess affection.

lyrics

Would you know love if he sat down before you?
A phantom of words from a masterpiece you never read, my friend
What would you do if he jumped up and kissed you?
Do you think you'd implode like a car crash, just crumple and bend, my friend
Is the shifting in your paradigm
like the twisting of the columbine?
The thorn that too often defines the rose

Would you know love if it took you out dancing?
Would you stumble around in the dark, knock things over again,
my friend
Stumbling over your feet cause your face was his muse,
you'd see only the man who scuffed up your shoes,
try waltzing a mile in his, see the road ain't so smooth

So it's four in the morning, we bowl for a spare
As I'm sitting here pulling these pins from your hair
Fixing promises broken and words never spoken
As the sun's coming up, and the birds fill the air
But the chirping in your garden hedge
Is the same thing sets your teeth on edge,
I'm not sitting here holding your hand cause your fingers are cold
