Now is the time of our Awkwardness

by joshua jesty

1.
it wasn't ever made clear just like the gray in my hare who knows how I appear when she's all the way over there it doesn't feel alright nor does it feel like a crime I don't have a clue how to get you in time oh the folly of the heart and fear of being burned at the stake there's no need to break down I just need to know if you'll put on your best gown let's go dancing it doesn't even make sense and just like the gray in my hair when you didn't expect it of course that's when it was there
2.
so just get out of my head if you won't get close what is it that he has that I don't? is the best you had when he treated you oh so bad baby if you could get over him, you could get under me I don't mind cause if you give me time you'll find my words true but how many hoops do I have to jump through to get to you? get out of my head if you can't let go of this wandering eyed liar with nothing to show get close to me til the skin meets skin lets set those bones to trembling
3.
so nice 05:16
you got me throwing things away I don't like that part of it I think you have fun making me wait I don't like that part of it who else are you auditioning for that coveted part the one who you let in to play with your heart oh I would treat you so nice baby sometimes I don't know what to say I don't like that part of it time moves so slow when you don't stay I don't like that part of it is this the part where you let others come and weigh in I don't need anyones thought when we're so close swaying oh I would treat you so nice baby I would treat you so nice baby baby don't you hate it when things get tied up? no is that so sometimes you're all that's on my mind I don't like that part of it when you say you want love yet I'm not deep in your eyes I hate that there's a part of me that wants a piece of you but I more than want all the other parts too oh I would treat you so nice baby
4.
you got a lot of nerve and a lot of nerve endings I got what I deserved thinking there was substance in pretending you had any more in mind than an evening and a memory that you could cast aside when you found a better one to carry through here I am, wanting you so while you just want me to let go we should address, you left your dress as my address last night so when you coming back to get it when you coming back? cause it can't go wrong unless it started out right as I recall your mouth whispered sweet nothings in the moonlight the sweetest nothing of all telling me that everything would be alright I can't recall the last time that I felt so stranded I was oblivious thinking I had finally landed safe come on come on come on let's do the breakdown let's go all the way down cause it can't go wrong unless it started out right
5.
it's a shame what they did to you made you not feel as beautiful as you are made it seem okay to fade away but I like you a little more than like so if you're not telling me to take a hike don't you wanna kiss in public? it's a shame what they didn't do and then again it's shame that when it came to all the bullshit and lies you listened don't you wanna kiss in public don't you wanna make a scene don't you wanna dance around the room to a made up beat don't you wanna kiss in public don't you wanna really start staying up all night with me don't you wanna shake up your (my) heart don't you wanna kiss in public?
6.
you were happy with what you had and then I just had to appear come on come on come on let's make it weird he said he loves you so yet you wanna disappear come on come on come on let's make it weird it's not like you were counting on some hopeless little fairy tale maybe we both need something that was only built to fail when you're in the corner of my eye you're the only thing that's clear come on come on come on let's make it weird let's both close our eyes and blindly try to steer come on come on come on let's make it weird he'll only treat you well he'll only call you dear come on come on come on let's make it weird I don't know what's coming up next so there's nothing ahead to fear come on come on come on let's make it weird
7.
don't give me that look I know that it's time to go soon so I become the needy one who tries to draw the time out it's true there's enough going on that feels so wrong and I don't know what to do can you blame me for wanting to forget it all and dive deeper in you I don't want to let go of you I don't want to let go of you I don't want to let go of you cause when I do all I see is the blues where's my evenings where you are there and the sun can sod off where's the peace of mind I could find in knowing that you don't want to go where's the false sense of security that you might wanna be next to me when it all goes down where's your lips against mine and no sense of time in which we can drown
8.
I may be the fool and I may mean nothing to you but all the traffic in my head stops when you cross my mind despite all the stormy weather you just keep getting better and I hate to say it but I'm in love you got that spark you got that glow I should know I see it as you walk away I don't want a soul to think he's obsessed with her but you just keep getting better and I hate to say it but I'm in love when you take a chance and get close you either build a prison or a home when it comes to you that's a "what if" I want to know I hate to say it but I'm in love I'm in love

credits

released October 21, 2014

“Now is the time of our awkwardness” was written, performed, recorded, mixed, and mastered (if you can call it that) by Joshua Jesty with the assistance of
Ray Arthur Flannagan: Electric Guitars on “you may have synesthesia but all I see are the blues”
Russell Flannagan: piano on “you may have synesthesia but all I see are the blues”
Tom Pivovar mixed “So Nice” and then Joshua had a Diva moment and put his own mix on the EP, but Tom is exceptional at his craft and you should have him mix everything, even mentos and diet coke
Emily Dove made the artwork and is a few more drawings of bunnies away from cracking… we can all sense it.

Thank You’s: Jon, Dodi, Kaycee, Hazel, Bob, Ben, Mike, JD, Missy, Matt Matt, Justin and Allie, Dan Meath, Owen Biddle, Joshua Kaler, anyone who has tolerated playing music with me, the intense amount of talented friends and artists I know in Cleveland, Johnny West, Bill Squire for letting me tell terrible jokes to crowds sometimes, brunch for being a thing, All the jerks at the RAT program, Emily and Tom for putting up with me, and you for being the type of person who reads liner notes in this day in age. Thank you for your support, whether I’m good at displaying it or not, it means the world to me that you listen and I thank you and hope you find what you’re looking for in these songs.
