rob me blind
music and lyrics by jay brannan

can we clear the air between us, and can we do it soon?
ive been clawing at the mortar, your nails are dirty too
when night falls, i crawl to the window and reach for the pain
i'll fall, but i call you anyway

someday we'll be eating lobster and drinking fine champagnes
i'll sell seashells by your seashore 'til you swim through my veins
he who sails is he who discovers, let's hear anchors aweigh
there's space to claim under these covers, you steer clear of here anyway

[chorus:]
you and me we spark, no i take that back
like a dancer in the dark, my beauty it's black
just match your lips up to mine, steal a kiss or rob me blind

you dont need another player gambling on your charms
dreaming of a victory wrapped up in your coat of arms
i bid more if you're taking score, and i'm all set to pay
but i'll lose cuz you'll choose him anyway

[chorus]

the greatest thing i ever learned is i dont know a thing
the hardest thing i ever earned is a chance in the ring
"simple boys make better boyfriends"; that just isn't true
and time will tick 'til you can see there's no simple in loving you

[chorus]

You have the most beautiful, calming voice... ever. <3

[Benormous]

great job! listening to your songs makes me feel depressed, lonely, lost and lots of other emotions that would usually be regarded as unpleasent, but i think it's a great compliment to say, that your songs are capable of creating such feelings, since we all know: happiness is overrated and possibly even fictional

:-)

keep it up the way you do!

[CharmsLithe]

this song literally pains me, Jay. So incredible.

@RealMusicislove I downloaded this program, it's called mp3 rocket. You can download songs right off of Youtube. That's the only way I found it.
