Recorded live with the iPhone 12 voice memo app.
You said left, but what you meant was right
That you came in peace, but are ready to fight
I don't think that's right, I don't think that's right
that you came in peace, because you carried a knife
You said go, but you should have stopped
the water was getting dangerously close to the top
How was I to know? How was I to know?
How was I to know that it would overflow?
I'm driving up to the city
the windows down and I'm grinning
ear to ear
but I'm just a pawn in the game
all this time, I thought we were seeing
eye to eye
after all there was nothing lost
after all the only cost was my pride
You said left, but what you meant was right
That you came in peace, but are ready to fight
I don't think that's right, I don't think that's right
that you came in peace, because you carried a knife

I bet this would be a fun song to perform, with the tempo and dynamics shifts. I love the immediacy - like I'm in the room with you. Swell piano playing - killer solo. Wow!

I love the twists and turns and sharp melodic/rhythmic contrasts in this. Really strong images - I loved the ear to ear/eye to eye variation. Your voice sounds wonderful as usual and quite a nice killer piano solo in there. Is that River at the end? :-)

Cool song, nice playing. The growling sound that piano makes gives a nice grittiness for the lyrics.
