Insert Romance Here

The last piece's underlying theme is this piece's central focus. A-S is a perfect subject for a love/love-lost song. She has the three B's of a great song...brains, beauty, and **sigh** a boyfriend. I have always thought that there was some unspoken connection between the two of us...and who knows, there may have been. The one-line refrain is the exact sentence I said to her the moment I saw her after a long hiatus, the last meeting before I wrote this song. "Wow, I had forgotten how beautiful you are." It was roughly a year after I wrote Sprung (so around Fall of '05). The roadblocks, walls, and permission in this song refer to the boyfriend aspect of this tragic story and the final verse was my fleeting chance to be let into her heart. I hope my lovelorn poetry entertains you. (Half-sarcasm)

The roadblocks count against us
The slurring counts for us.
Why can’t they tear this shit down?
Why can’t we stay bound?

Wow, I had forgotten how beautiful you are.

These walls are on fire with your cold
These feet freeze with your warmth
“May I?” I’m forced to ask.
But the answer is always the same

Wow, I had forgotten how beautiful you are.

This fateful day in summer,
This one chance to be what I’m not.
Here’s the hook:

Wow, I had forgotten how beautiful you are.
