Testing ground for a long-postponed demo. These things are not final versions, they're hasty sketches of songs. Please comment on anything and everything.
Sometimes you shove me in a box
_and stow me in the closet in the loft
and tell me I'm free
I know you need your time alone
but you won't let me use your phone
what are you hiding from, if it isn't me?
But when you're crying
I try to fake that I understand
But when you're crying
I don't know where to place my hand
when I found you, you went to my head
the colours deepened, your lips were red
in my fawning haze
I saw all the cliches
But have I found you yet?
If you keep me as a pet
sit up don't slouch
get off the couch
But when I hold you
I know I meant something to you before
But when I hold you
It's like I'm hugging a girl of straw
You've never noticed that I've secretly cried
ever since the day I heard my father had died
But it's all in my stride, it's all in my stride
You look at me as I'm the Christmas Guide
To Being A Groom Just To Make You A Bride
But it's all in my stride, it's all in my stride
You denied having fucked him and pound on your pride
but I know from your letters and the photos you lied
But it's all in my stride, it's all in my stride
It's the tension you cause when you try to decide
if you're gonna start a fight or to let this one slide
But it's all in my stride, it's all in my stride
Like the million times you slumped in bed and sighed
And I hated myself for taking your side
But it's all in my stride, it's all in my stride
