about

A song about the power of a guitar in the midst of a manic episode.

lyrics

I picked you up one day and noticed a dent
One I inflicted on accident
You threw your reflection at me
And said, “I wear your scars proudly”

You take it from me when I take it out on you
You yell when I’m angry and you cry when I’m blue
So here’s a sweet song just for you

So many memories I can retrace
Like the smell of your spruce top when I open your case
I frantically open the locks
Who knew so much could grow from a dead wooden box

You take it from me when I take it out on you
You yell when I’m angry and you cry when I’m blue
So here’s a sweet song just for you

When the ambulance came and took me away
With an expressionless face I said, “I don’t want to stay”
So they brought you to my bedside
And I cried
And I cried

You take it from me when I take it out on you
You yell when I’m angry and you cry when I’m blue
So here’s a sweet song just for you
