    Story Behind the Song
    The vocals and acoustic guitar were recorded live in the studio in one take. The song was written in my living room while sitting in my underwear. There was no motivation but to continue how good the song felt.

    Lyrics
    When you saw me in the morning
    I somehow lost my charm
    I said I do not know where it went
    When do you need it for what?
    When do you need it for what?
    She asked must your thoughts all be plain?
    You know I need more than that
    I said babe I ain't got that
    What about a loan?
    She said alone you'll to try by yourself
    I can't be there when you're missing me

    I'm sorry if I leave you so
    When I get up I go
    She said the days you get up and don't
    You still aren't here

    I know that often it may seem
    I never am where I should be
    It's just that I'm hiding ya see

    It's the way you turn from my pain
    Somehow faster everyday
    I hadn't heard until I learned
    That you've got the cool of a calm, steady devil

    I hope the sun will shine
    And hint you to go
    I'll be there I will build you a road
    And help you to go
    She asked must your thoughts all be plain?
    Sometimes where's your head?
    I said I do not know where it went
    You should know that by now

    Pretend this all turned around
    My chair where yours is now
    Slightly turned in disgust

    It's the way you turn from my pain
    Somehow faster everyday
    I hadn't heard until I learned
    That you've got the cool of a calm, steady devil
    Oh how your mouth leaves me hurt
    Neatly cursed and beaten with words
    You prove my thoughts to be true
    That you've got the cool of a calm, steady devil
    I know a thing or two
    I can't get next to you
    I know your flesh to be false
    Cause you've got the cool of a calm, steady devil
