Story Behind the Song
This song was written about a relationship that went sour in the early stages, I was dumped, then 4 days later she came crawling back to me. I wrote the song in a multitude of places, but like most of my songs, it came to me at about 2 in the morning, the morning before an exam.
Lyrics
That’s what I call you for,
Don’t look at me like that,
Apposite is now the feeling,
Disconcerting? How is that?
You can’t just up and leave me,
Extricating what’s now left,
Take the time to find out, what you
Give is what you get.
We once were and issue,
We could have been much more,
A quondam-quasi love affair,
You walked out and closed the door.
You took your love right with you,
You didn’t even shed a tear,
Now what goes around, it comes around,
Your niescence shows right here.
I want you to know what you’ve done to me,
Comport yourself babe, I’m class, aristocracy.
That’s what I call you for,
Don’t look at me like that,
Apposite is now the feeling,
Disconcerting? How is that?
You can’t just up and leave me,
Extricating what’s now left,
Take the time to find out, what you
Give is what you get.
Taciturn means silence,
No willingness to talk,
The willingness that comes from me,
Has all but come to stop.
It didn’t have to be like that,
We really had a chance,
The varicoloured words you say,
Abjure what we once had.
I want you to know what you’ve done to me,
Comport yourself babe, I’m class, aristocracy.
That’s what I call you for,
Don’t look at me like that,
Apposite is now the feeling,
Disconcerting? How is that?
You can’t just up and leave me,
Extricating what’s now left,
Take the time to find out, what you
Give is what you get.
I want you to know what you’ve done to me,
Comport yourself babe, I’m class, aristocracy.
That’s what I call you for,
Don’t look at me like that,
Apposite is now the feeling,
Disconcerting? How is that?
You can’t just up and leave me,
Extricating what’s now left,
Take the time to find out, what you
Give is what you get.
(Chorus to fade)
