words & music by Nate Shelkey
Our first date we went to a psychic
He had a dog named Mocha
Can dogs read minds?
Because I can’t see yours
But you can see mine
This the first of a long line of failures
I hesistate to tell you
What that means to me now
So I stay out late just at the movies
You’ll have to excuse me
I had a dream last night
She’ll ask me in like I’m a friend
She’ll take the time ’cause it’s there
One more time to say that I’ll be there
One more time
She’s adopted but she’s orphan annexed me
To an uncharted island in the Carribean
Where there’s no contact to the outside world
Or the inside of a certain girl
It’s not enough to say I’m scared
That’s just the part of me that’s not afraid
They’re just words, they don’t mean a thing
Unless you’re scared of asking me
If only she’d ask me in like I’m a friend
She’ll take the time ’cause it’s there
One more time to say that I’ll be there
This is my little manifesto
Of how the rest should go
An Irish man says “If you like what you’re doing
Keep doing it and if you don’t then quit”
She’ll ask me in like I’m a friend
She’ll take the time ’cause it’s there
One more time to say that I’ll be there
One more time
