I spent quite a long time on this song, mostly because I had to stop and retune my guitar and replay a couple of the tracks. It was about a whole note too high for my liking singing-wise.

I also noticed that the chorus has exactly the same melody as "Cumbersome" by Seven Mary Three. I suppose I should check things out a bit more before recording.


Lyrics:

He’s tied in his tongue
Stuck in his lungs
Looking uncertain
He sweats on his brow
At the here and now
How can this be happening?

He can’t believe
He feels deceived
By this girl
She’s too perfect
So very perfect
Oh this girl
he doesn’t belong
It’s so very wrong
Oh this girl
She’s just like an angel
He’s under her spell
Oh this girl

He’s leaning close
For another dose
Of her air
He’s looking at her face
That he cannot erase
Oh this girl
Rain’s falling on the windows
Outside the wind blows
But they’re warm here inside
It feels like a dream
Or so it would seem
A hallucination

CHORUS

he’s floating in space
Not this place
An illusion
His life seems so clear
What’s here is so real
Oh this girl
She’s sitting right there
Nothing compares
In the world
She’s just like an angel
He’s under her spell
Oh this girl

fat and lazy guitars left and right...
bass is fine
not my cup of tea... but I give a thumb to hold it up
