about

A soul song about sexual anxiety/identity, with the voices of the great Spider John Koerner and Low's Alan Sparhawk in mind.

lyrics

Take good care of my baby
Listen well and be her light
I will be there to love her
But I can’t get right
Can’t get right
I can’t get right

When I was a child, I was lonely
But everyone saw me as polite
I’d cry in my bed and ask Him questions
Cause I can’t get right
Can’t get right
I can’t get right

They have it all, they have the answers
They go on living day after day
With handsome giants and tiny dancers
In the end, I’ll be sent so far away

I want you to know there’s no reason
That my head has sunk into night
One day I’ll be back and come out standing
But I can’t get right
Can’t get right
I can’t get right
