Shut Up (Live from Rockwood, NYC)

from Live and Alone in New York by Anya Marina

/

lyrics

heard about you for awhile, never saw a show / used to play you on college radio / now we're face to face / friend of a friend / got a hundred reasons why this shouldn't happen / you got a hundred reasons why this shouldn't be and not a single one of them has a thing to do with me, so just shut up, shut up shut up shut up—kiss me like you mean it / “I’m a man. I’m a man with a plan. that's me in the broken window,” he said, “don't you understand?” / weren't even sure it was me when I walked in the room / careful son it's gonna get real hot soon and I been, I’ve been trying to fight this fight right here by swimming upstream I couldn't tell you where I’m going, couldn't show you where I been so just shut up, shut up shut up shut up / kiss me like you mean it / so what if we just stop pretending, stop making believe? what if true love only comes when you're playing for keeps? so just shut up / kiss me like you mean it / do you know the value of this? can you assess it? and if you could would you even know how to invest it? I know a thing about a thing or two / I know I gotta keep a couple things safe from you / if i folded my heart into a pretty paper plane and flew it cross the Hudson would it come back again? would it get crumpled up? would it get caught up in a crosswind in the sea or would it fly back to me? shut up. kiss me like you mean it.
