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
