lyrics

Driving past Lake Union
The water looks different
Perhaps it’s because autumn has arrived
Or because your warm face now isn’t

If I’m being honest, it’s because I don’t feel the same way about you
Can’t help thinking about the logistics of love
It seems too cruel to be cynical

Driving past Thomas street park
To observe the slides that give you nothing but
Rashes that require heavy doses of calamine
Run to the castle upon the hill

Maybe it’s best for me to realize
That you’ll never feel the same way
I’ve lived long enough not to avoid rejection

Driving past True Love art gallery
A little girl rides a broom over the sea
The waves come crashing above the city
Everyone else is pretty but me

Is it too much to ask the world if I’m enough
I know so many others who truly have it rough
Just reassure me that I might be worthy of your love
Of your love

credits

from Workmen by Work, released October 4, 2022
I recall the verse about True Love art gallery being inspired by a Studio Ghibli exhibit I think they did once?
