Untermann Field, Chancellor Avenue, Newark, New Jersey, January 21, 2007

You slyly pick your nose, coyly flip your hair
Your parents' basement's cold, it smells like mold down there
That string still sounds off -- tune the guitar again
My heart for a song? First make it to the end

Staying in tune's a pain in the ass but what's a troubadour to do?
You pray to God things happen fast but God is on to you

I s'pose we're both still learning exactly how to play
Instinct and yearning to express ourselves some way

So I stare down at folded hands while you tune one more time
I wish I could understand the appeal of ABAB rhymes

Your phrasing is so wild, maybe try paring a syllable or two
I like your lyrical style but spare me the "I love yous"

It takes time to get a lyric right -- still I don't know what you thought
Yeah, I like a clever line but my heart can't be bought
Even for a song
