about

A meek love song written in 2009 about some dreamy boy back in high school.

lyrics

Scottie do you think I can sing?
Do you… maybe… think I’m something?
I think I’m nothing..
I don’t know if I’m white or black
In fact/I think I may/be gray
Scottie, what do you say, boy?
What do you say?
Scottie, what do you say, boy?
I don’t know if I’m ready to be a colour, lover
Scottie, what are you thinkin’?
Did I start to sink in?
Counting down from five
I’m a lie, I’m alive
Five, four, three
Scottie don’t fall for me..
Scottie, please fall in love with me
But not the me that you see pretending to be
The next big thing, the only thing
That something that’ll make you smile
Scottie, do I make you smile?
Scottie, will you stay a while?
Is this another tribulation
Or should I start the celebration?
Oh… I know… my soul starts to show
Oh… you know… I’m faking it. I’m full of sshhh—hush now
Listen, Scottie, do you hear my heart beat?
Did you hear my heart skip a beat?
Now listen to it—STOP
You make me stop; you can make my heart stop

Scottie do you think I can sing?
Do you… maybe… think I’m something?
I think I’m nothing…
I don’t know/if I’ll go/away, in fact I think I may just stay…
Scottie, what do you say, boy?
