lyrics

Excuse me for asking
are you free tonight
I’m not looking for a lover
I’m not looking for a fight
Just kinda lonely
and kinda alone
Just wanna learn about someone
someone I don’t know

So do you like romantic movies
or do you like ‘em fast and loud?
When you talk about the things you love
are ashamed or are you proud?
Yeah it’s kind of in the shoulders
and the way you hold your head
And the thoughts running through your mind
when you lie awake in bed

Will you talk to me a while
While we’re both here
Will you walk with me a mile
Why we’re both scared
Will you mind if I don’t stand up
when you sit down
You seem all right to me
How about me
As far as I can see
Far as I see
And I don’t make that too far from now

Merlin Ball Vancouver, British Columbia

Merlin Ball draws on many musical atmospheres to create a singular space and mood. Net result: indie-driven stuff that blazes along under sombre skies and brilliant sunrises. How do you talk to someone 10,000 years away? This is Merlin Ball's attempt.
