Written very, very drunk after a night out at Edison's Pub in Tremont.

I guess I wanted to include a reference to "Light Up My Room" by the Barenaked Ladies*. Sure.

lyrics

There is a duality that exists in the people that we all become. We're loving and honest, we're open and free. We're shallow and selfish, fickle and dumb.

And I am a textbook case of collision of idealized love and harsh reality. I can be all of the things you envision. I can be such a bastard, can be such a thief.

I want the unfiltered version of you. For the words that you say not to be ones you choose. For syllables to spill into simmering song. For you to acknowledge what I've known all along.

So search through the store aisles and find me in school supplies. Always wanted to know so much more than I do. And the more we keep talking, the more that you'll realize that I am a simple refraction of you.

Built on revision. Built on relief. Sung to the station that plays in our teeth*.
