Being alone, it can be quite romantic
Lull by Andrew Bird

being alone it can be quite romantic
like jacques cousteau underneath the atlantic
a fantastic voyage to parts unknown
going to depths where the sun?s never shone
and i fascinate myself when i?m alone

so i go a little overboard but hang on to the hull
while i?m airbrushing fantasy art on a life
that?s really kind of dull
oh, i?m in a lull

i?m all for moderation but sometimes it seems
moderation itself can be a kind of extreme
so i joined the congregation
i joined the softball team
i went in for my confirmation
where incense looks like steam
i start conjugating proverbs
where once there were nouns
this whole damn rhyme scheme?s starting to get me down

oh, i?m in a lull
i?m in a lull

being alone it can be quite romantic
like jacques cousteau underneath the atlantic
a fantastic voyage to parts unknown
going to depths where the sun?s never shone
and i fascinate myself when i?m alone

i?m rambling on rather self consciously
while i?m stirring these condiments into my tea
and i think i?m so lame
i bet i think this song?s about me
don?t i don?t i don?t i ?

i?m in a lull

1. Aw, that song isn't sad is it?
I love it... cause it's lovely.
