lyrics

Do I dare take a seat next to
That female human cross the room? A surge of courage dictates that I do
Have we met? (No) Nice to meet you too
Some morose movies have me feeling blue. Maybe we can fend off solitude

We would thrive if we want us too
Perhaps compatibility is manufactured by desire's drive
It's taboo but we'll both make do
Given requisite similarities, enough attraction, and proximity
Are you there or is it just me?
Hoping that convenience will not fail to churn out sexual release
From then on we'll find what we need
And I'll change myself, for who is she?

And we'll go along even if we're wrong
Impressions of each other miss the mark of our subjective selves
Continue for some time, we'll shift the paradigm
Do our best to bridge the gap between your you and mine

Turned a bit and I saw her there
Sitting but a few short feet away, too far to warrant a hello
Did it show, that I saw her there?
Beaming at a faceless blonde, fast running out of well-rehearsed canards
Hit me hard but I turned back to
A plate of food that suddenly had fallen down the list of my concerns
What a turn when I saw her face
And she walked away and I walked away

Will I ever know by what names they go,
The nature of the noises vibrating between their ogling eyes?
Wherever did I lie? Would I be a spy
To listen in or am I not at all contending with this guy?

about

Plumes Boston, Massachusetts

Plumes is Ben Long (on the drums!) Tim Green and John Thorsen. Music- listening to it, learning to play it, writing more of it- has been one of few things we've taken really seriously for the last 7 years. These songs grew through many late nights and missed appointments. Our songs are all really about something. It's sincere and sometimes naked. Hope you like it ... more
