lyrics

you said I like the middle one best
& I said thank you & your eyes are brown, & I forget what comes next
but unfazed you spend the evening making jokes
comparing different brands of cigarettes & i never tell you that I don't smoke
so now you think i do

& you think i don't mind when you say
that all those boys on the radio need to learn how to play
& you think that your hubris is so justified
'cause you're so indie, you're so undiscovered, you're so male, therefore so self-satisfied

i don't know why you think you can see me through
all of this trying, when i can't see you
& i don't want to change myself for you
but i do & i do & i do & i do & i do

& you say the unadorned human body is such a beautiful thing
yeah, then you snicker, then you make it ugly, & i'm supposed to laugh or something
& you talk about sex like i'm supposed to think i'm weird, so i get
to feel weird for not thinking that you're weird, how fucked up is that, then you offer me a cigarette

i don't know why you think you can see me through
all of this trying, when i can't see you
& i don't want to change myself for you
but i do & i do & i do & i do & i do

& if you like me now, it won't be on my own terms
& when i see you on friday, i'll smile but i won't know half what to say
but something will surely take over, it's dreadful, but i'll sound sincere when i say

yeah, i like your new song a lot
yeah we should do something together sometime, yeah, why the hell not?
& everything everything you've been saying to me so far
has been leading up to this beautiful moment, so free of faux pas
so free of something real

i don't know why you think you can see me through
all of this trying, when i can't see you
& i don't want to change myself for you
but i do & i do & i do & i do & i do

& when i see you on friday, i'll smile but i won't know half what to say
but something will surely take over, it's dreadful, but i'll sound sincere when i say...

rorie kelly New York

rorie kelly is on a quest to bring her songs to ears around the world through the cunning use of the internet and a small blue Toyota with over 200,000 miles on it.

rorie writes songs that are melodic and catchy but more thoughtful and introspective than the average pop tune. Her vocals are bigger than you would expect out of her small body and her guitar playing is powerful and percussive. ... more
