about

This is a song about longing, and dredging up ghosts to release them.

lyrics

Verse

Can I tell you a secret? I learned that song cuz I thought you might like it.
All the mixes I gave you, full of songs you didn't like yet.
When I got my mix, I laughed myself silly til I cried.
You were into the soft stuff, Morrissey, the Shins, and Bright Eyes.

Chorus:

Hysterically laughing is a gift that I've always had.
Passed down through the ages, from the ancestors through my mom and dad.
They say that omens come in threes, and I guess that I'm the third.
I don't blame you for running, I think that you might have heard me.

Verse

Tall dark and foreboding, drew me into your storm cloud.
You were shaky and quiet, and my whole life had been so hard and loud.
I kept some of the poems I scribbled as if in a trance,
I remember the banter, and the pride as you spun me around to dance.

(Chorus)

Verse

When I met your wife, I loved her immediately.
She's a ray of sunshine, it balances perfectly.
Once I get the signal, I'm happy to step aside for the next in line.
They're probably better in every way and I would rather hide.

(Chorus)
