about

This is different than most of the other songs on PFTR. First, it's Tyler Taylor singing and performing acoustically alone--generally an ill-advised act. Second, it's a live recording (and the only existing recording of this song) of him playing this song in Tropicalia while the actual battle goes on behind him. You can hear the sounds of violence and destruction in the background. The crowd is thin and obviously distracted. These events are described in Episode 15 of TROT, released on 8/21/14.

lyrics

We did a little too much
We lived a little too wrong
We did a little too much
To fit it all in a song

When you think about my touch
Was it warm, was it strong?
Do you miss it very much?
Or did it always feel wrong?

I don't want to go yet
But I don't want to stay
So why don't we lie here
For just one more day

If there's really nothing
No truth left to say
Then why can't we lie, dear?
Would that be okay?

What's one more delay?
What's one more delay?

You seemed a little too tough
But I was looking at it wrong
I never called out your bluff
I waited too long

I've been thinking about your touch
Been coming on strong
You know I miss it very much
Though saying it's still wrong

I know that you're thinking
I led you astray
You didn't expect this
This hopeless decay

I've still been insisting
That I've got something to say
But all that I'm singing's
So trite and cliched

So trite and cliched
So trite and cliched

Whenever I look up
You're farther away
You pause when you answer
Satellite delay

Whenever I look up
You're farther away
You pause when you answer
Satellite delay

Don't want to go yet
But your miles away
I think I'll just lie here
For just one more day

You'll fade
And you'll fake it
I've lost all my sway
But I'm willing to try, dear
If you come back my way
