about

An older but never-before-released song about desperation and unrequited love. I think I wrote this in 2012. I find the backstories on love songs to be pretty embarrassing, so I’ll just leave it at that.

lyrics

Your love don’t drag you here in the middle of the night
With that “gone bat-shit crazy” look in your eye
Your love’s not vertigo or butterflies
You don’t count the seconds, you don’t lie awake at night

Your heart don’t correspond by love letter
Your mouth won’t even mention love
But what if I troubled you and spoke the truth
My heart does all of the above

Six times in the last five years I felt myself caving in
I may be just one woman but this ain’t no bleeding heart, I’ve got the strength of ten
Love letters and other forms of self-betrayal and mutiny
Maybe that’s old hat to you but baby, it’s all new to me

What is this aching, what is this poison running through my veins?
Making me talk crazy, making me do desperate things
What kind of bus are you, hitting me this hard
You seem to like this bullshit so far

Your love don’t drag you here in the middle of the night
With that “gone bat-shit crazy” look in your eye
Your love’s not vertigo or butterflies
You don’t count the seconds, you don’t lie awake at night

As Far Away As You Can Go Without Coming Back
by David Newberry

The first album I heard from David Newberry changed the way I think about listening to and writing music. I've been a huge fan ever since. Just the right blend of rage, politics and vulnerability. Bet Smith
