about

This song is ultimately a self-indulgent swim through my own nostalgia. It's a rehashing of some of my past romantic relationships and some memorable statements and imagery relating to them. Hopefully some people find some meaning in it for themselves, but I didn't really write this one to say something about the human experience at large as much as I did to reflect on my own human experience.

lyrics

I tried to ask you for nothing.
My tongue; the dampness
everywhere I went, all the love I could gift you,
I forget, I forget, I forget.

There was a letter I wrote you that I never sent,
helpless in the lamp light.
I ate too much ice cream and hated myself.
Nothing was great again.

I tried to ask you for nothing.
The grin of an augur
you kissed like the last time
I took the bullet for nothing
and nothing was good again

I told you in your mini-van,
if I could die your muse,
then I would die happily.

There's a figure of speech for me.
Always the bride's maid, but never the bride.
I dreamt of you in a gown,
and I then I dreamt of dreaming of death.

I tried to ask you for nothing.
My tongue; the dampness
everywhere I went, all the love I could gift you,
I forget, I forget, I forget.

There was a notebook you gave me that I never penned.
I left it in my dresser.
Sometimes I'll think of my story and I'll hate myself.
I'll never write again.

I tried to ask you for nothing.
The grin of an augur
you kissed like the last time
I took the bullet for nothing
and nothing was good again

And nothing was good again.
