about

Words by Endrick Tremblay
Music by The Great Novel

lyrics

I don’t know who I am
Except when I speak with my hands
So let me try this thing
Thanks to God I speak when I sing

I feel like Woody Allen
When I’m with her
I fall and I fool and I loony, yes I do

Simply stirred
Stewardess of wonderful wandering
Asking me if she’s my shadow
Teasing the health of what I know

Happiness runs from her core
Meaningful seems her soul
She’s an actress expecting more
Minding, it’s a minding what I’m lookin’ for

Hatching words
I don’t know who you are
But you make me sing like a bird
Hatching words
I don’t know you yet but I, yes I’m gonna learn

I heard « who has imagination without learning
Has wings and no feet »
I’ve got the wings, she’s got the heat

Now a half-moon is not enough
But soon I’ll take her clothes off
I’m tryin’ to seize her spirit
But it’s her flesh’n’bones I’m dreamin’ of

Hatching words
I don’t know who you are
But you make me sing like a bird
Hatching words
I don’t know you yet but I, yes I’m gonna learn
