More songs by Malcolm Todd
Description
There are songs that sound like a diary forgotten in a jacket pocket. Dry eyes, awkward confessions, too many feelings for one person, and the eternal question: ‘What to do with this?’ Everything seems simple, but every word either scratches or warms.
And then - like a random voice on a dictaphone: laughter, an encouraging monologue, a reminder of reality beyond emotions. And that makes the track even more honest - when fragile vulnerability is intertwined with something so familiar, simple, almost mundane. The result is music that isn't afraid to be real, even if it has more questions than answers.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Your eyes are drier than mine, that's a first
It's no other you, I could find, that's the curse
You're making this complicated, and it's coming from mister "It's cool"
I hope I don't look like a fool
I can't make a sound, so I'll just lie on my side
Wait for the tears to roll by
More love than I can handle, what do I do?
What do I do?
I'll come back for you
I'll come back for you
I'll come back for you, back for you
I'll come back for you
I'll come back for you
Do you have to be awake when I'm asleep?
I can't tell you what to do
Keep you from something new
I'm scared of what you'll see, when you're not next to me
Run along, don't fall behind
Then thank you for your time
One, two, three, four
I'll come back for you
I'll come back for you
I'll come back for you, back for you
I'll come back for you
I'll come back for you (I'll come back for you)
I'll come back for you
I'll come back for you (I'll come back for you)
I'll come back for you
I'll come back for you
I'll come back for you
Do you laugh?
You can do your laugh now
Hey, I think you're in the audition right now
But I just wanted to say to you that I'm just so impressed that you stepped outside of the box and did this, Malcolm
I mean, already you're a winner in my eyes, so I hope you're having fun
Hey, Mac, I'm here to pick you up buddy, so give me a call
I'm waiting in the front by Mercer Hall, ok, bye
