about

Single from the Cosmic Altruism Session in 2016

lyrics

Time is an arrow
Flying like a sparrow in air
Love is taking chances
In spite of circumstance
Feeling unprepared

A chance encounter
A knock at the door
A hope they're different from the others before

You'll get the best of me
So respectably

Fear of commitment
Wondering what it meant when you
Said that you were a mess
And I said that I guess I'm one too

Let's keep it casual
We'll keep it the same
Whoever cares first can shoulder the blame

You'll get the best of me
So respectably
All of the mess of me
Oh so desperately

When this is over you can go your own way
And I'll be sitting here with nothing to say

You'll get the best of me
So respectably
All of the mess of me
Oh so desperately
