about
Written at Dangerland in Studio City in September of 2007, this song took shape extremely quickly. I taught it to the band in rehearsal, they came up with their parts on the fly, and just a few days later we debuted it at a show at the Mint on September 9th 2007. It quickly became a live show favorite for full-band shows.
A demo was done at Dangerland in January of 2008 with Steve McDonald on guitar, Matt Cooker on cello, and Giulio Carmassi playing drums, bass and keys. The album version was finally committed to tape in the fall of 2008, with Kelli Noftle’s backing vocals being added later, in the winter of 2010. My second foray into writing about someone else’s heartbreak, E stands for Ezna, a good buddy of mine at the time.
lyrics
The night that she made her escape, you stood there soaking in the rain to show what’s permanent. You found the tree from that July where you put fireworks in the sky and knifed the letters in. You give your love away, give your heart away, give her everything and she dances off again.
You sent her off to see it through, convinced her what she had to do, you foolish gentleman. She fled back to her actor’s arms. No growing up, no moving on, just keep on twirling. You give your love away, give your heart away, give her everything and she dances off again.
And maybe one day she will see those letters carved into that tree and remember how to breathe. You give your love away, give your heart away, give her everything and she dances off again. You give your love away, give your heart away, give her everything and she dances off again.
