A song about writing a song for the girl you love when you've already written 20 other love songs for other girls you loved. But as with the rest of the album to follow it's far less whimsical and more about something that was in the DNA.
lyrics
Sitting here with a bottle of wine,
Thinking of the words I should write,
With the shadow of twenty other songs that I've written
Looming over me about other girls with whom I was smitten
And sure I'm worried these songs won't be as poetic
Despite the fact I loved you and I didn't admit it
And every 9yrs I hear every cell in our body dies
To be reborn like a natural baptism of membranes and nuclei.
and here in my 3rd incarnation
my cells feel much calmer I need no more revelations
Im certain that I love you with every cell,
