about

A tongue-in-cheek ditty about being on the outside looking in.

lyrics

Lyrics:

If then, why must
it be without me
Surely there's a path
that could include me
Look, I get it
I'm not half as fun
But I'm good
at being a plus-one
And you never know how
things like this turn out

All the things I said before
I was joking
Ever mindful of the bear
I was poking
Look, I get it
all your friends agree
that I'm nowhere
near your pedigree
But you never know
how things like this turn out...

...side, looking into
the windows
like your primroses
Tanning in the moss bed
among your discarded things
They send their kind regards
Hope to hear back soon

Outside, looking into
the windows
like your primroses
Tanning in the moss bed
among your discarded things
They send their kind regards
Hope to hear back soon

Although you've said before
it was hopeless
I can't seem to shake you
from my focus
Look, I get it
all my friends agree
That I'm wasting
all my energy
But you never know
how things like this turn out...

...side, looking into
the windows
like your primroses
Tanning in the moss bed
among your discarded things
They send their kind regards
Hope to hear back soon

Outside, looking into the windows
on my tiptoes-es
Tanning in the shadows
of all your beautiful things
If not a Romeo
Bergerac will do
They send their kind regards
Hope to hear back soon

If then, why must
it be without me

Influenced by classic pop, psychedelia, and soft-rock of the '60s and '70s, Todd has formed a style that is uniquely his. ... more
