about

8th song on "Throw Money"

lyrics

It's like I always split a seam when you are near,
but falling all to pieces 'round you's natural, my dear.
Getting up the nerve to make the move is hard.
I'm not tall enough to reach where I hold you in high regard.

I would need stilts to even kiss you, and I
never thought that height would be an issue, but now
up on that pedestal I placed you,
and I'm never gonna reach you. It's too tall...

It's like I always have to smile at what you do,
but I'm not sure if you see that from your elevated view.
If I stood up on my tip-toes could you see?
Or are you so far up there that you wouldn't notice me?

I would need stilts to even kiss you, and I
never thought that height would be an issue, but now
up on that pedestal I placed you,
and I'm never gonna reach you. It's too tall...

I think it's time that I get past my fear of heights.
Maybe I could pass a note by satellite.
I'll make them 2 feet wide, and 40 stories long.
He might reject me, but I could be wrong.

I feel like a circus act, I'm hoping that these work.
If I built them incorrectly, then the fall is gonna hurt...
It seems unsafe to be this high without a net,
but I'll choose taking chances over living with regret.

I would need stilts to even kiss you, and I
never thought that height would be an issue, but now
up on that pedestal I placed you,
and I'm never gonna reach you. It's too tall...
I would need stilts to even kiss you, and I
never thought that height would be an issue, but now
up on that pedestal I placed you,
and I'm never gonna reach you. It's too tall...

I write music.

I listen to music.

I genuinely just love music.

I have a song available in "Rock Band" and that makes me smile.

Yeah, I'm the guy who did the soundtrack for "The New Adventures of Captain S".

I probably release too many albums, but I do attempt to find a good balance between quality and quantity.

Thank you. ... more
