[Intro]
[Castrato Choir]
A hundred books are not enough
to show how i feel inside.
I know it's just a state of mind.
I know it's just too late to mind.
You never played 'hard to get' or something.
I'm walking up and down all the time.
I'm waiting for the doorbell to ring.
I'm waiting for this torn bell to ring.
[Verse 1]
In the kitchen doing dishes for a while.
'til their shininess can rival with your smile.
In the bathroom scrubbing on my knees.
Looking in the mirror. Double checking my teeth.
In my mind your voice sounds so unique.
Your constant complaints about quirks,
that make you so lovable and sweet.
[Chorus]
Here i'm waiting. I wait for you tonight.
And by my doorbell, i wonder do you smile?
I swear i won't try to play the puffed up guy.
You'll compliment the chef. Maybe you're only being nice.
We'll look into our eyes
and have a glass of wine.
I'm sure my mood is right for a
rendez-vous.
[Verse 2]
At the carwash in the soapy breeze.
Coining melodies that spiral like the brushes.
At the groceries getting all we need.
Dancing to the gnocchi, tumbling in the heat.
In my mind i feel like i'm so small.
Everything has to be perfect,
then i feel safe to give you a call.
[Chorus]
[Bridge/Outro]

Post-punk in the Sonic Youth mold—melody covered by creeping fuzz, anchored by architectural rhythms, with lyrics both abstract and direct. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 5, 2019
