Love's A Shark

My good friend just got her heart utterly broken... She came over this morning and told me the whole story of how it all went down. She was a wreck. I tried my best to make her feel better... to let her know that she and everything else was going to be okay. As she was leaving, she said she felt better. But she was just being nice, I think.

I decided not to go out tonight... I was just sitting around, bored. And then I wrote this song. Evidently, I was thinking about her and her story and how love generally wrecks us. Usually in the best of ways...

Hope you like it. It's kinda weird. I wrote it and immediately recorded it with my shitty laptop microphone:

love's a shark
july 5, 2008

love is stalking you
it's parked at the end of your block
when you walk away from love
it loves the way you walk
love is following you
it can swim faster than your car
you're getting drunk next to love, babe
it followed you in this bar

love is creepy
love is dark
love is scary
'cause love's a shark
it's gonna eat you, take you to the bottom
of a deep dark hole
but it's the thing you need
you know you want to bleed
baby, love's a shark
baby, love's a shark

love can swim through bedroom walls
it knows when you cry
you can curse and you can kick it
but you still can't make love die
love didn’t crown you lonely
you did that on your own
but it'll be there waiting
when you come down off your throne

love is creepy
love is dark
love is scary
'cause love's a shark
it's gonna eat you, take you to the bottom
of a deep dark hole
but it's the thing you need
you know you want to bleed
baby, love's a shark
baby, baby
baby, baby
baby, love's a shark
