about

Once again. the influence of British sci-fi staple Doctor Who makes its influence on my lyrics felt.

lyrics

We’d been talking a bit when she said she wanted
To go and get a drink
An invitation or excusing herself?
I didn’t know which to think
So I played it safe and stayed where I stood
While she headed to the bar
Leave it to me to find a way to make everything awkward

The two of us were born in the same town
But many years apart
When we’re conversing I rarely feel
Like I even know where to start
The gulf between us feels so wide
We’re not on the same wavelength
I’ve spent too much time lost in the space time vortex

Outside the course of human events
Outside the flow of it all
Stuck in my pocket universe
No talk ever feels like it’s small
I cling to skin of her world
As if a soap bubble
Attraction and beauty to me are nothing but trouble

She picked up her jacket and slung on her purse
Said she’d be right back
I’m anxious by nature but felt reassured
Seeing she’d left her bags
When she returned it struck me
Particularly my nose
Somehow I’d never pegged her as a smoker

I turn myself back towards the stage
No more or less at ease
And when I left I tried not to read
Too much into that shoulder squeeze
