lyrics

You’ve a mystique so self contained - My headphones on, indifference is feigned
You see through efforts to ignore - But obsession has never worked before
You’re hanging onto every word I’m saying - I’m gambling on every look you’re giving
Thankfully only I can see – That you are way too cool for me

What would you say if I called you Tuesday night
(to see that movie we were talking about)
That Apples album that I leant you is my treat
Tell your friends about me
Call me like you promised
Look for me when I’m away
And tell me we can have another day like Saturday

Its days like this that can’t be planned - just tell me where you think I stand
Love’s What I Got, you sang to me - Can’t help but take you literally
We spend the day in perfect synchronation - Somehow came to separate destinations
I’m never the dorm room Don Juan - I’m always a Singer on your lawn

Knock on my door, don’t announce you’re coming by
(to ask if I can move that couch you just bought)
Or maybe meet me for karaoke Thursday night
Wonder what I’m thinking
Find me in a crowd
Make me throw all my plans away
If only we could have another day like Saturday

I should have known there was nowhere left to go

There isn’t too much left to say - For it was just another day

If you’re hearing me now, then its way too late
Don’t do it because I ask you to
Think of that day, Pick up your phone
Do it because you want me too

about

Adam A Nelson Chicago, Illinois

I've played other people's songs in piano bars and private events around the world for 15 years. By 2022, it was beyond time for me to record my own songs. Each of these 7 songs will be dropping monthly in 2023. I hope you enjoy them!
