about

Renée about this song:

Feelings of love, sexuality, inspiration, excitement…all arriving seemingly out of left field through a connection with a woman I had loved for 8 years, but had never let myself feel or explore deeply. It caught me completely by surprise and along with all the beauty and goodness, created a frustrating and illicit situation.

lyrics

Lyrics:

I live inside a magazine. I’m a juggler, balancing routine
Smoke and mirrors, wood, steel, skin and rock ‘n roll
You see that world in my eyes. I work to keep it safe and alive.
Some place in between restless and secure

I stood out in left field watching
Birds painting the clear blue sky
When I stood out in left field watching

You snuck up on me like a wildfire
Sparks and flames flashing and flying
And I felt the light inside jumpstart

They train wild tigers to heel. Make devices to stop a rolling wheel.
And junkies get clean, make amends and start anew
I could ask the universe for wealth. Pray to God I’ll always have my health
But I’ll wait a long, lonely night for you

I stood out in left field watching
Birds painting the clear blue sky
When I stood out in left field watching

You snuck up on me like a wildfire
Sparks and flames flashing and flying
And I felt the light inside jumpstart

You jump started every little feeling that I’ve pushed away,
compromised, isolated, memorized
You jump started every little fantasy I’ve entertained to
go insane, I can’t contain, baby you’re to blame

I stood out in left field watching
Birds painting the clear blue sky
When I stood out in left field watching

You snuck up on me like a wildfire
Sparks and flames flashing and flying
And I felt the light inside jumpstart
