You put your shirt on And pulled your coat on Then tied your shoes Then drank some water Said, "See you later" And grabbed your keys, it was 39 steps to the door, and 15 more steps to the car I don't know what day it was I don't know what time it was I never came 'round To being your lost cause You pull your coat off Then take your shirt off Untie your shoes You never learned my name And I take all the blame If you want me to For the last steps to the door And the last steps to the car

My hands rest soft Within your hands Holding thoughts And faster my heart beats back Knocked unconscious I lay my head to rest You calm me down Faster still my heart beats back Knocked unconscious by my fears I lay my head to rest You calm me down You ask so many questions I cannot explain Breath out one less thought to feel I lay my head to rest You calm me down That's all I ask of you That's all I ask of you Faster still my heart beats back Faster still my heart beats back I lay my head to rest You calm me down Faster still my heart beats back Faster still my heart beats back Faster still my heart beats back (Faster still my heart) Faster still my heart beats back Faster still my heart beats back (Faster still my heart) Faster still my heart beats back Faster still my heart beats back (Faster still my heart)

Give It Time 03:36
Our signals crossed again Maybe we can meet somewhere in between But no (no, no, no, no, no) We're too lost in ourselves With no point of relativity Let's embrace Squeezing the air for comfort We'll get back We'll get back (X11) We'll get back We'll get back We'll get back We'll get back We'll get back We'll get back We'll get back We'll get back We'll get back We're out of phase again Maybe all I need if you in this dream But who am I to judge, When our communication breaks down walls baby? Give it time Or maybe just little more wine Get it back Get it back Get it back Get it back Get it back Get it back Get it back Get it back Get it back Get it back Get it back Get it back Get it back Get it back Get it back You'll trade hilltops for trains Underground, corporate buildings, and rain Here's to hope that your starless sky Yields you faith in your timeless vie

We spoke for the four millionth time And the last time We say what we needed to say for the first time You knew you were leaving Before you knew why So, we both said goodbye We both said goodbye We blamed it on wasting the time we'd been given We waited, we wanted, we could but we didn't It wasn't the truth and it wasn't a lie When we both said goodbye We both said goodbye We both said goodbye We both said goodbye We all say goodbye We all say goodbye We all say goodbye We all say Goodbye Lovely You keep waiting for me to come home But I left for the four millionth time and the last time When I lost what I came here to find When we both said goodbye We both said goodbye We both said goodbye We both said goodbye We all say goodbye We all say goodbye We all say goodbye We all say goodbye We all say goodbye We all say goodbye We all say goodbye We all say goodbye We all say goodbye We all say goodbye We all say goodbye We all say goodbye Goodbye Lovely

about

Mai, Mai Variations N°1 by composer/multi-instrumentalist/producer, Sean Morin, is a marriage of acoustic pop, electronic, and chamber music with respectful nods to the height of the 1990's electronic movement (with artists such as Björk and Amon Tobin), 1960's minimalist composers (with artists such as Steve Reich and Philip Glass), and English/French lounge and minimalists hybrid groups (with artists such as Stereolab and Yo La Tengo). The album consists of short and repeated melodic phrases, dense chordal textures, as well as arching and hocketed vocal melodies. Morin crafts this music within the instrumental context of voice, string quartet, marimba, vibraphone, harp, trumpet, Rhodes, piano, Mellotron, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, electric bass, acoustic and electronic drums, and various synthetic programming.
