about

This song is about breakfast and being desperate for affection. I had a songwriter teacher in college named Andrea Stolpe and we were talking a lot about Tom Petty and how powerful his music is without being overly wordy. As I was writing the chorus of this song, I was tempted to write hella words, but Andrea reminded me of Tom and I kept it brief and the song is better off for it. I also played it over my phone speakers for some strangers from Scandinavia while we were all on a big hike in Peru and they did not like it.

lyrics

I'M A LITTLE DESPERATE
I'LL DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE
RED-EYED AND RECKLESS
A KISS IS TOO MUCH
BUT IT'S NEVER ENOUGH
NO, NO

OH, I'LL BUILD YOU A HOUSE, BABE
RIGHT IN MY RIBCAGE
PLENTY OF SUNLIGHT
WILL SHINE THROUGH
THE HOLE IN MY HEART

SO, LOVE ME
I SWEAR I'LL LOVE YOU BACK
IF YOU LOVE ME
I'M SERIOUS LIKE A HEART ATTACK
YEAH, I'M SERIOUS
OH, I'M SERIOUS

I THOUGHT OF YOU AT BREAKFAST
I WAS EATIN' FROZEN STRAWBERRIES
THEY WERE SO COLD
BUT INSIDE I KNOW THEY'RE SWEET
AND I CAN'T TELL IF THERE'S BLOOD IN MY TEETH
OR NOT

OH, I'LL BUILD YOU AN AIRPLANE
WITH MY LUNGS AS ENGINES, BABE
AND WE'LL NEVER CRASH
'CAUSE I'LL NEVER STOP HOLDING MY BREATH

YEAH, JUST LOVE ME
I SWEAR I'LL LOVE YOU BACK
WON'T YOU LOVE ME?
I'M SERIOUS LIKE A HEART ATTACK
YEAH, I'M SERIOUS
YEAH, I'M SERIOUS

AAH!!

(OOH)

OH, I'LL BUILD YOU A FIRE ESCAPE
I'LL MAKE THE LADDER OUT OF MY VEINS
YOU CAN LEAVE ANYTIME YOU LIKE
(BUT PLEASE DON'T)

PLEASE LOVE ME
I SWEAR I'LL LOVE YOU BACK
WON'T YOU LOVE ME?
I'M SERIOUS LIKE A HEART ATTACK

LOVE ME
I SWEAR I'LL LOVE YOU BACK
WON'T YOU LOVE ME?
I'M SERIOUS LIKE A HEART ATTACK

OH, I'M SERIOUS
YEAH, I'M SERIOUS
OH, I'M SERIOUS
I AM SERIOUS

One time I snuck out of summer camp to see The Postal Service 10th Anniversary show at The Greek. I bought a grilled cheese and a beer with a fake ID. I ate, drank, and cried alone. It fucking rocked.
