Life + baggage

refrain: and you wonder what it is i did to you to make you feel so brand new and you wonder why nobody else can do it too

you bite your lips when you think that he's not looking but i see everything in you all the things you try to hide from him i see and i still love you

the ends of him just out of reach cause your fingers to writhe with the rejection and i try with my hints and quiet thoughts to steady the shaking of your limbs

i want to stop your quivering lips with mine i want to press your body to my body i want to replace the trembling of your trepidation with small seizures of joy

refrain (goddamn)

and you tell me you'd like it if i waited yeah you tell me you'd like it if i waited for you to come back to me but oh can't you see how difficult that would be for me and oh can't you see how impossible that would be for me can't you see can't you tell shouldn't you know

refrain (fucking)

sarah says: i was in an information processing class in my small home town, the name of which has been banished from my vocabulary by order of aaron. my best friend, shanda, and i were doing some delightful and stimulating questions on travel necessities. one of the questions was something about what kind of insurance you should have and shanda wrote down "Life + baggage". i decided it would be a fabulous name for a song and the rest, as they say, is history. as far as content, the main point of this song is, of course, as aaron a. so considerately brought to my attention, that it makes really good use of the word fuck, which is one of my favourites. really though, this is a lovetriangle song in which a girl loves a girl who can't see past her boy. bummer for her.
