music and lyrics by jay brannan

hey there, baby, have you got a light?
im not smoking, but im afraid i might
have fallen down a dark carpal tunnel and landed in your kiss
and in the water from your big, brown eyes, i swam away from a quarter life crisis

you told me horror stories in room 426
of wooden boys falling for girls made out of matchsticks
i shoulda strapped you to me with padlocks and glue
so i could spend the rest of my life wearing nothing but socks and you

chorus
we got a lot of maybes to muddle through
but my emotional rabies are fixed on crashing through to you
though governments and distance stand between us, well be fine
cuz im gonna tear this world apart, baby, until youre mine

never knew much about magic, but i think i finally found a teacher
never meant to find my soul, but i got lost along the way
never lived with you, but i know i cant live without you
never know if ever ill see you again, so i hold tight and pray

chorus

youll be an artist, ill be your hands
well go the farthest from our lives we can
ill swim the ocean, whisk you away
til were in denmark, youll hear me say:

chorus

Hey Jay!

You better record this song properly and include it in your next album. This is the best song I've ever heard from you, loved it from the very first time you put it on youtube , when you sang it in London at the Bus Hall last May in London, I need it on my iPod! Jay, you rock! ;)

@MagnusHarvest Hello have you paid attention to the lyrics it is about distance. Jsut because you don't have the name of the country there it doesn't mean it isn't completely embeded in the song. I wish it was in Portugal that he felt what he felt to write this song.

Keep up the great work Jay
