about: I still do like this song. Although the lyrics are a bit telling of my not-so-chipper mood at the time. Love can certainly be elusive.

A little bit of trivia: The thunder you hear in the beginning of the track happened entirely by accident. Jim Robert (who recorded this track and Connect the Dots) had left a mic on, and it picked up the severe thunderstorm happening outside -- despite the soundproofing of the room. We decided to keep it in there.
lyrics: It always starts out sweet
with everyone calling their arm-lengths to meet
till there's no distance at all.

But like a broken car
it doesn't really go very far
before we just stall.

And we're left with
smiling faces: a familiar sight
to me and you alike.
But mine's not what it seems.

See, this is just a mask
that I put on to make sure you'll have a blast
while my red heart turns to green.

And I traverse envy like a country abroad.
I keep bumping into love at every corner.
But I can't speak the language,
so I hope you don't mind
if I just
give up trying.
