about

This song began life as a waltz, and was changed to its current form in January 2010. I first played this song live a month after I lost my home in a fire. I thought it was topical and funny, but the audience just thought it was sad. It's not about a fire at all. It's a warning that English majors should not become involved with non-English majors.

Written 22 July 2006.

lyrics

Remember that night
when the house burned down
and you wore a frown
because it was all gone

all that we'd built
together for years
and then your tears
came flowing on strong

Flammable
you thought it was
inflammable
And you were right

I said it's okay
we still have us
but you would not trust
this optimist

I tried and I tried
to make it okay
you walked away
without a kiss

Unravel
my heartstrings
and ravel
them again

All your words mean
the same thing to me

A visit with my friends
proved that they'd been
hardly mistaken
in sussing you out

valuable
you said they were
invaluable
well you were right
