Suspended Disbelief

Lyrical selections from the 2000s

Oh, Girl

You don't believe in God
and yet you talk to angels.
I've tried to talk to them too
but they don't seem to hear me.
I guess you're the lucky one.

I'm trying hard to be just your friend
I think you know it's not easy,
I think you know how I feel.
I'm not sure why you still come around,
I hope it's not just sympathy.

Oh, girl,
I hope you'll forgive this cliche
it's just that I've truly never felt like this
before.

I can no more stop loving you
than I can stop the sun rising in the morn.
I wish there was something I could do
to prove to you the truth
behind what my words fail to say.

Oh, girl,
I know I'm not worthy of you
but with every breath I pray that someday,
I will be.

Lyrically, the only part of this song that I like is the first verse. I think it sets an interesting background for the character(s). What redeems this song for me is the music. It's my best example of piano playing and one of my most melodic bass lines.
