DREW:
the last time I got laid
I went crazy for a week
it's hard to know how to be with someone
when you don't even know how to be yourself
a little sweetness can mean a lot
but what do you do when it means too much?
I don't know if I can stand to fuck again
but it means so much when you hold my hand
in the dead of night
maybe that's enough
WILL:
lack of connection
closed off to the world
barriers up
to share a moment with no role
briefly here
all flesh, no goal
[I wrote this song about a failed relationship, but by the time we had finished the song and started playing it out, I had already begun dating the woman I am marrying next month. Life throws you curveballs sometimes. Expressing the emotions of the moment is very important but it's also important to remember not to get too caught up in them. Every day is a new chance to change it all. --Drew]
