lyrics

There's a side of me no-one had seen
Until you drove down
Bedroom shadows against the glare
Of a whispering crowd.

Ooh, I should've brought you home
Before the whispers grew to loud.

Over airwaves and over land,
You didn't tune me out
When you heard me for who I am.

And through all my weirdness and shame,
Because you knew my pain,
You held me like a sister.

Kaitlin, don't misunderstand.
I'm only trying to be your man.
And it don't mean you've been untrue
If you let me talk to you.

And we learned boundaries remain unseen
Until they're carved out.
Yeah, we drew those distasteful lines
With our dirty little crutch.

Ooh, I should've dialed back,
But you had the devil's touch.

Half a day driving in the driving rain --
You didn't answer the door
Or come when I called your name.

And through all this anguish and doubt,
And though you've tuned me out,
I'd still let you use me.

Kaitlin, don't misunderstand.
I only wanted to be your man.
And it don't mean you've been untrue
If you let me talk to you.

The fascination's dead, and we don't speak.
We bled it dry by being weak,
And it isn't right. It isn't fair.
You wouldn't be so mad if you didn't care.

Kaitlin, don't misunderstand.
I only wanted to be your man.
And it don't mean you've been untrue
If you let me talk to you.

Won't you let me talk to you?

Kaitlin, don't you understand?
I know I can't be your man.

YR LAD Charleston, South Carolina

YR LAD is a syncretic verbal sigil that embodies the crossroads between the time-shrouded mysteries of tradition and the emerging mysteries of the neological digital era. It manifests the present as a gateway between the new and old worlds: envision the letters as you speak the words, and step through the portal into the essential Cosmic American musical experience. ... more
