Name: Please (Don't Tell Me What You Want)
Duration: P00H05M09S
Description: Two silhouettes gingerly stepping over and around the painted wooden figures on a merry-go-around that would only stop turning if the world ended. A flash of lightening in the distant sky with no thunder to follow it. A pedicure cut short by the shrill ring of a telephone. To voice the absurdity of the situation would be to admit it existed in the first place. Carry on world. Carry on.

Two silhouettes gingerly stepping over and around the painted wooden figures on a merry-go-around that would only stop turning if the world ended. A flash of lightening in the distant sky with no thunder to follow it. A pedicure cut short by the shrill ring of a telephone. To voice the absurdity of the situation would be to admit it existed in the first place. Carry on world. Carry on.

lyrics

You don't have to trust in yourself
Well I don't think I trust you myself
You don't have to worry
We ain't gotta hurry

Well I don't think you wanted this dance
But what if this was our last chance
To set the world on fire
Oh baby don't get tired

Summers gone, but I'm here to stay
Happiness is just arms length away
Winter's here but so am I
I'm no sun but I'm always in your eyes

You don't have to trust in yourself
baby I don't trust you myself
you don't have to worry
Baby we got all the time in the world

I don't think you wanted this
but i think we needed this
baby you're an optimist
baby i'm a piece of shit

So please don't tell me what you want

Oh YeAh BaBy!
