Liner Notes

#valentines #lovesong #poprock #indiepop

Despite this project being about loss and grief, I'd kick myself if I didn't have a love song about my best friend and the love of my life tucked in there, and I made sure I'd have it done for Valentine's Day. Except her and I had the day all planned out so I had no time to post it, so here I am, creeping off in the middle of the night to get that done so she can wake up and...honestly probably not be able to hear it for the whole long weekend XD Ah well, this is another gift to her because she deserves it.

It's another simpler pop-y song, and I think that this project needs some of that before we return to Bummerville.

On the first album of this trilogy that I started last year is the song Pisces Sun, another song about the parts of me that are head over heels with her. I'd like to think that they pair up well.

Lyrics

Verse 1:
We were both
On the downside looking above
To a place that was cold,
Quiet and so
Indifferent to us.

Pull me back
To the world within your eyes.
Oh no, my ego is dead,
I can't think with my head,
You keep me tongue-tied.

Pre-Chorus 1:
Allow me to introduce myself,
Running from my failures
I'm the sad man
Whose in love with you.

I'll take all the worst of me,
And I'll leave it
For the best of you.

Blame it on the Cancer Moon.

Chorus:
Deep down, in the roots I'm a fool
Who assumes every core is rotten.
Right now, if we ditch this town,
Will our flaws be gone and forgotten?

How far will we take this car
Before the end of the road is beneath it?
Black heart in some marker
In a spot where we can see it.

Blame it on the Cancer Moon.

Verse 2:
Let me tell you, babe you've got me
Even more than you know.
Yeah sure, I ain't getting younger
But all the heat and the hunger
Still got me down in a chokehold.

I remember the songs playing out
In every small town
We wandered the streets of,
And I remember those dark little glances
That you gave me when you wanted me alone.

Pre-C 2:
Allow me to introduce myself,
Chasing my tail,
I'm the madman whose
Crazy for you.

I'll take all the rest of me,
And I'll give it to
The best of you.

Blame it on the Cancer Moon.

Chorus 2:
Your touch is like the taste of a drug
That pulls me up and lets me know I'm gonna make it.
Too much of a damn good thing leaves you
Open like a raw nerve, naked.

Baby, yeah I know it ain't deep,
But all the moves that I got, well, you taught me.
Catch me in the twist of the sheets
Where the bed meets your body.

Blame it on the Cancer Moon.

Bridge:
Oh, how far
Do I have to run to
Just escape the stars?

Oh how do
I repair the broken
Pieces of my moon?

Outro:
How do you feel
When you hear my voice?
When the end is near
And you hear the siren sound,
I'll meet you at the Edge of Town.

I promise,
When the world begins to fall apart
You know,
I'll drive us to the edge of the coast.

And if it don't come true,
Blame it on the Cancer Moon.
