about

This is chapter 6 of of my collection of songs: LifeLongLove.

Yeah, we had a great interaction in the record store and then . . . radio silence. The next time I saw her it felt like everything had cooled off. She seems so guarded. So many questions I wish I could ask.

Setting: The Uptown 2 train, I'm packed in with the other commuters, tourists and oddballs 30 feet underground -- but my head is in the clouds.

lyrics

(i wanna say. . . )
hey - what’s it gonna take to win you over?
hey - what’s it gonna take to get through your defense?
(i outghta say . . . )
hey - how do i get your heart to open?
what’s it gonna take for you
to give a guy like me a chance?

if i climb a jagged mountain
plant a flag upon its stony peak?
if i sail a stormy ocean
make the trip across with lightening speed?
well would it be enough
to make you think i’m tough
how do i crack the code?
well i just got to know

hey - what’s it gonna take to win you over?
hey - what’s it gonna take to get through your defense?
hey - how do i get your heart to open?
what’s it gonna take for you
to give a guy like me a chance?

should i chisel out a sculpture
carve a heart of granite just for you?
do i have to paint a tragic picture
pour my blood onto the canvas too?
well would it be enough?
to make you think i’m tough
how do i crack the code
‘cause i’m on overload!

what’s it gonna take for you
to give a guy like me a chance?
= = = = = =
(wow - look who just walked onto this train. i kid you not)
