about

Written in April of 2006, this was the first of the Danger Show songs to be written (with the exception of “Porcelain” and “We”, which were earlier songs I already had prior to plans for a solo album). It was first demoed at Record Plant on June 6, 2006. This was the one song we had no idea how to orchestrate, so we recorded tons of different stuff: drums (both standard and sort of timpani-style), warbly electric guitar, organ, piano, etc. Ultimately, we realized the song was the most powerful with only the acoustic guitar and vocals done at Archon, a shaker recorded at subSpot, and Giulio Carmassi’s beautiful Wurlitzer track, recorded at his house.

Yet another “doomed relationship” song. It’s many people’s favorite, including my father. While I’ve tried playing it solo on guitar a handful of times, I typically will only perform it now if Giulio is there to join me, either on Wurlitzer or acoustic piano.

lyrics

The city lights blink out. My hands are shaking, and I’m still outside your house waiting for you to come out. It’s getting colder: L.A. shutting down. This city’s foggy and forlorn. Sky-scrapers disappear up past the fifteenth floor. And I’m always wanting more. But I just settle for what everyone settles for. If you turn out to be just what I need, could we ever come out clean, or are we lost? Is that the cost of being complete?
The city lights blink out. And I’m getting high tonight, the only way I know how. But it doesn’t matter now. God, it’s getting hotter and we won’t get out. If I turn out to be just what you need, could we ever come out clean, or are we lost? Is that the cost? If you turn out to be just what I need, could we ever come out clean, or are we lost? Is that the cost of being complete?
