about

Going way out on a limb on this one. Given Anand's dictum to write a love song, I realized that though I write about love often, it's almost always broken love, or complicated love, or murder ballads, or well, love, with some kind of twist, and it's almost never completely autobiographical, whatever that might mean. So I challenged myself to write an open, honest, positive love song. And, man, it turns out that that's about as hard as it gets. For me, anyway. So here you go. It's cheesy, it's cliche-adjacent, if not, well, living in downtown Cliche Town. But I think I stayed true to my rules, and I'm glad I did. Here you go, honey - one honest love song.

lyrics

I wish you could see you
Underneath these ragged stars
Cause you don't even seem to know
How beautiful you are

If I could line 'em up
The ones who left you cold and scarred
The ones who never learned to tell you
How beautiful you are

I wanna rewrite your story
Erase the tears and smooth the scars
Make sure you always understand
How beautiful you are

And I wish I had known you
Long before these feelings stirred
Before they broke your heart and you forgot
How beautiful you were

If I should take for granted
If I should ever fail to see
I pray I'll find myself in time to know
How beautiful you'll be

I wanna rewrite your story
Erase the tears and smooth the scars
Make sure you always understand
How beautiful you are

And I am slow to learn my lessons
But I know how to make you shine
If I can ease your burdens, make you laugh
Well, no one has a right to look so fine

I wanna rewrite your story
Erase the tears and smooth the scars
Make sure you always understand
How beautiful you are
Make sure you always understand
How beautiful you are
