about

A simultaneously joyous and melancholy exploration of the inner thoughts of the introverted extrovert, which tells one evening's story of the positive sides of being alone while never quite escaping an underlying somber tone of loneliness.

lyrics

Sitting here in the evening basking in the TV glow
And the whip cream on top of my coffee is how nobody knows
Well I sat outside
Til the moon hung high
Now it's way past midnight but I got time
Just give me the evening to can clear my mind
I’m so tangled up I'll knot if I don't unwind

Yeah you see, lately I ain't been leaving no footprints
But nobody's outside asking me the size of my shoes
And I know that you freshen like peppermint
Yeah but tonight just might be better without you cos
All at once I got time
Precious seconds to be whoever I incline
Oh it's about time that I got mine

Got a little rum a little lemonade
Just enough to last til the end of the day
Drink it slow curtains closed
Maybe I could string a few days in a row
Yeah baby that sounds so divine
I’m so tangled up I'll knot if I don't unwind

Yeah you see, lately I ain't been leaving no footprints
But nobody's outside asking me the size of my shoes
And I know that you freshen like peppermint
Yeah but tonight just might be better without you cos
All at once I got time
Precious seconds to be whoever I incline
Oh it's about time that I got mine

See the thing about me
Is I can make friends with different sides of myself
He's impressed by me I'm impressed by him
We theorize and drink wine in the kitchen
And we talk to each other until I fall asleep
Well today I’m the company I keep
Oh but I like him cos he's just like me

Ah yeah you see, lately I ain't been leaving no footprints
But nobody's outside asking me the size of my shoes
And I know that you freshen like peppermint
Yeah but tonight just might be better without you cos
All at once I got time
Precious seconds to be whoever I incline
Oh it's about time that I got mine
