The Thing About Them (Demo)

Lyrics for The Thing About Them (Demo)

Now there was this thing about them That caused me, at times, to doubt them Or create conflict in my mind Usually there was a he one And there also was a she one But they always came out differently And one of them, when she was she, would smile And burn a hole in me A hole that was too hard for me to hide Once I had a dream about her Once I had a dream about her In a field, alone outside her tiny little cottage made of sticks It was much too small to use it So she'd bump her head and bruise it Trying to get through the tiny door Afterwards, I went to tell her But it was a he, I felt, who nodded at my words indifferently And of course, when this would happen, there was still A sheet of tap on my shoulder from the other side But it wasn't her it had been It was, perhaps, a bit like a bookend That had become misshapen from its mate So I told myself there must be some way I can make Them just be who I want to be with all the time For it kept me at a distance But my sense kept insisting it was much more interesting inside
