Medicine, I'm reticent to take one today Prescribed by hands, those damn deft hands who just know what to say Incubate, resuscitate, then refrigerate, make a new promise, the commissary will switch and then bait, yeah Oh, Don’t you understand, am I being clear? Don’t you understand, am I being clear? Don’t you understand, am I being clear? Don’t you know that I can’t repeat repeat repeat myself myself myself myself my Luminous lugubrious limnologist is spouting facts, findings, figures, fuck up my day now Medicine, I'm reticent to take one today Prescribed by hands, those damn deft hands who just know what to say Oh, Don’t you understand, am I being clear?

I've been standing here for so long Tryin' to impress everyone you know Stick around for a drink, maybe 3 Forget everything I've seen Just in time the phone rang Through the static I was listening Muffled words of affection Not meant for me January moves slow Just in time to watch the heating fees grow Mail still comes with your name In a pile on the stairs all the same Just in time the phone rang Through the static I was listening Muffled words of affection Not meant for me I've been standing here for so long Tryin' to impress everyone you know Stick around for a drink, maybe 3 Forget everything I've seen Just in time the phone rang Through the static I was listening Muffled words of affection Not meant for me I was somewhere in Wisconsin When I heard someone say something Bout why I was wonderin' Where were we?

I was asleep for oh so long You moved your things out, then I woke up alone A note on the dresser said that you had been lying to yourself Probably for the best, with my eyes closed, you couldn’t ask for help I wanted more than you willing to give Now I see life is just time through a sieve We catch the thoughts and times we want to recall The rest fall through to nothing at all For the past several weeks, I can’t fall back to sleep I’ve been searching for the rug that you pulled out from under me Funny thing is you took it with you for the next guy who comes around Mirage around him, he thought he was standing on solid ground

Things were so much easier when We could be in two places at once While we danced around in the snow I don’t know how you never noticed You’ve got something on your mind I’ve been driving through the night This has got to end sometime And I’m gonna put my foot down Things were much believable when I would polish the floors as we talked And as we tussled around in the sheets I don’t know how you never noticed Sounds like someone’s tired Bout losing their faith Don’t you get stuck Making the same mistakes again again again You’ve got something on your mind I’ve been driving through the night This has got to end sometime And I’m gonna put my foot down

What worries me is not the present It’s what’s to come I’m not concerned for where I’ve gone But from where I’ll be from I’ve become what I loath Said I’d give you safe passage I sunk your boat See I was an ocean You were lost in me You tried to batton down the hatches I rained relentlessly You were caught in a hairpin So I took you down But you stayed amongst the water Trying not to drown I’ve become what I loath Said I’d give you safe passage I sunk your boat Now you’re miles deep And the pressure is slowly Coming in fast You just want to know if we Can just shake hands Turn this squall into a breezy Day we both left us Said goodbye to you and me

Some songs about love, some songs about love lost, and others about everything else to cover all the bases. Steve hails from Michigan and cut his teeth in the singer/songwriter scene of Chicago which is to say he usually tries to sneak a Wilco cover into his set. ... more
