Joey Loops This is the song I love singing in the shower the most. I like the little vocal flip you do during the chorus.

lyrics

i walked across a tight rope a thousand miles high
i see it all so clear now that im on the other side
the rope was fraying under my feet as i made my way across
i thought for sure i'd fall and break my body on the rocks
then seagulls would devour me until I was all gone
and i'd never get to tell you that i think you are the one

just because im dead
doesn't mean that i can't love,
just because

i knew at once when you walked in that i'd never be the same
for better or for worse, you'd be to credit or to blame
but since i'm dead i'll never get to whisper in your ear
these things ill never say and so you will never hear
isn't it true that we are all mostly alone,
when we listen to the pre recorded tracks on our casiotones?

just because im dead
doesn't mean that i can't love,
just because

i will not be drunk and all over you this time
i'll behave much better now that i am not alive
i just love you that is all so I hope you come to my funeral
i'll be the one in the wooden box laying there alone
i have saved a space for you, we'll hum a tune about a tomb for two
as they lower our bodies we will rise to that tight rope in the sky

just because im dead
doesn't mean that i can't love,
just because

Songwriting has become their resistance language. ... more
