some random guy

Wrote the first part of this late at night / early morning while very sleepy, not feeling very well, and probably thinking about Eels (the band, not the sea creature). Finished writing and recording it late at night while very sleepy and still feeling a little rough. My other band, post-apocalyptic folk band Scrap Iron Saints, played our first show tonight (sans drums), and it went really well. My plan for next week’s song is to be inspired by something other than the impending deadline. We’ll see how that works.

oh how i wish i could be the one you wanted to see
everyday, but i’m not, i’m just some random guy
you, you don’t even know me

oh how i wish i could be everything you want out of me
everything, but i can’t, i’m just some random guy
you, you don’t even know me

i could pretend, but i know you’re leaving
it’s just a matter of, it doesn’t matter

so i went to the movies, tried to pick the one you wanted to see
i was wrong, i was stuck with a bad romantic comedy
and you, you don’t even know me

so i went to a show, tried to pick the band you wanted to see
i was wrong, ringing ears from a heavy metal band
and you, you don’t even know me

i could pretend, but i know your tea cup is empty
it’s just a matter of, it doesn’t matter
