about

A demo we put together in Jackson's basement from our upcoming album Dresses for Gretchen.

lyrics

Picking cherries from the tree of calculus
It never varies so it won't work out for us
It's not that hard to raise that bar
Oh yeah.
We'd never find the time there
I'd always lose my mind there.
The clouds would lift my body so high.

You and I, we can't go on like this.
You're moving forward and I'm standing still,
but you know me, I just can't take that risk.
I just want you to know that I love you still.

Standing still in a field of grey.
Save my thoughts for another day.
Find a pattern in between the lines that occupy my time.
Trapped to the bottom of a hardwood floor, wondering what's in store for me.

You and I, we can't go on like this.
You're moving forward and I'm standing still,
but you know me, I just can't take that risk.
I just want you to know that I love you still.

Einstein said that and outside observer knows your rate better than you,
but I'm standing on the outside, and I'm telling you it's not true.
Calculus is the study of change, but I failed that class and I find it strange,
cause I've been watching you change for years - watching you grow out of your ways.

You and I, we can't go on like this.
You're moving forward and I'm standing still,
but you know me, I just can't take that risk.
I just want you to know that I love you still.

You and I, we can't go on like this.
You're moving forward and I'm standing still,
but you know me, I just can't take that risk.
I just want you to know that I love you still

I love you still
