A self-aware, ironic, excessively clever quirky song inspired by pseudo-Buddhist perspectives. For my wife.
Lyrics:
I don’t have time to... have time ’cause time’s not something to have
but I want to take time to make time to think about my time with you
Do I have the words... to know what to say to say what I mean to see what I mean do I know what I mean? I don’t know...
My attention goes to my list of chores things I should do more but then I’m not sure and I find a new chord but it’s not a new chord ’cause I’ve played it before...
Why’m I so self-conscious, when consciousness has no self? Images arise inside of my mind and I keep tryin’ to put ’em on a shelf
I mean to hold on... to not let things go to write it all down to save thoughts for you though I know you’ve got enough of your own...
since this song’s for you I should stop thinkin’ ’bout me cliches can be true, but I just want you to see... No, I don’t — ok — so it’s hard, but I wanna let go of all this and listen more to you
