about

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaybe our most 90's song? Fun fact - it was so 90's, at practice we started calling it 'Ezra.' I mean, it's not a fantastic fun fact, but this record came out a while ago. Be impressed I remember anything. Why are you yelling?? This is getting weird.

lyrics

You want to be known but you don't want to be defined
To hear that you're pretty but really loved for your mind
I know cuz you told me again for the very last time

A feather floating to the ground is what you seek
A box tied up tall with a bow and no chance to peek
A couple more days to append to the following week

Did I
Get it right?

It's something to do with your childhood but you won't say
A hobby horse out on a playground on a fall day
A story you maybe told once but the memory strayed
Your mom and your dad and two sisters and then there was you
Alone toward the end when someone hadn't thought it through
You drifted off again; that's a thing you do

Did I
Get it right?

you think it's that simple but I think you're wrong
Why do you think we've been out here so long

Did I get it right?

You want to be known but you don't want to be defined
You're worried someone else might not like what they find
Go ahead and tell me I'm wrong one more time

Did I get it right?
