Lyrics

Dear So-and-So

Uncomfortable
Uneasy
Self-conscious
Almost sleazy

I pick up the phone and I don’t call you

It’s nothing that you say
It’s nothing that you do
It’s just how I feel
When I hang out with you

Uncomfortable
Uneasy
Tense
Almost sleazy

I pick up the phone and I don’t call you

It’s not that you judge
I don’t feel like you do
It’s just how my spine feels
When I stand next to you

Uncomfortable
Uneasy
Self-conscious
A little bit sleazy

I pick up the phone and I don’t call you

But if anything important happened in my life
Like say, I had to get my children home from school
In the middle of the day safely and without fail.

Or say, I had to get my signed sealed documents
To the kingdom on the other side of the mountains by midnight
Or I would lose all my virgin men

Or say, I had to get my beautiful mother across the holy river
And I could not do it by myself

It would be you that I call
Yes, you. Why?
Your word is good
Your word is good
Is gold
Is God
Is good

Marry me.
