about

Hate is a strong word, so I won't use it, but I very much dislike this song. It took several days to write it and I forced a chorus on to it that I was never happy with, but I left it alone because I just didn't care. Years later, several people told me they liked it, so here it is.

Usually, there are aspects of most of my songs that bother me, but none have bothered me in quite the same way as this one. This was representative of a handful of other songs recorded at the same time that I abandoned because they weren't representing where I wanted to go musically. It is the only one of those songs that made it to some form of completion.

lyrics

The meaning gets lost in all you do
But you know that I'm waiting for it too
The sense it makes is less than it seems
Impossible as it seems to me
So say you love me
I'll say it too
But the meaning gets lost in all you do

Here we go again
Seem like it never ends

You're not always right
I say
As you look at the floor
And I look at the time
It's not gonna get better
but I say it had better
If I'm gonna stay another night

Talking is only far from the truth
Reason is only close to proof
Logic is missing from the scene
And I don't know what the fuck you mean
So say you love me
And I'll say it too
But the meaning gets lost in all you do

I make music.

Some is happy, some is sad.

All of it is me.

Thanks for listening.
