chasing kites

I originally wrote this song for guitar back in 2006, even though I’m not exactly well-versed in that particular instrument. But as the years have gone by, I found that the more that I thought about how C&N would sound best… or, I suppose you could say, how it could sound “truest” to the way it is in my heart, I started to think that maybe… since it’s a song that speaks for me, it would be better if I could play it on the instrument that I know and can express myself through best.

This version was recorded at home, still clearly in it’s draft stages, but I’m rather proud of how it’s come out.

Coffee & Nonsense
Music & Lyrics: Noelle Pico

how are we doing tonight?
won’t you tell me how it’s been?
your eyes have a story again
so why don’t you begin;

let’s sit back and get comfy,
times like these are far-between and few;
yes i want to hear all about it (oh, all about it)
over a cup of coffee for two;

and the road is filled outside (outside)
the night is soothing, oh, soothing to my mind
guess i’ve got a lot to contemplate now,
but maybe it’s better if we don’t make sense inside;

it’s okay to wish for things… right?
to brood a little over dreams that are worthwhile;
i shield my eyes and think quiet (quiet),
i want to speak up, but i can’t begin to look in your eyes;

and the road is filled outside (outside)
tonight is soothing, oh, soothing to my mind
yes, i’ve got a lot to contemplate now
and maybe it’s better if we don’t make sense inside;

i never did like drinking coffee,
it always puts me straight to sleep,
i guess i always believed
that you’d be here to drink it up for me;

and the road is filled outside
the night is soothing, oh, soothing to my mind
you’re something i contemplate on
but maybe it’s better, if things don’t make sense inside
