about

Tim's voice has so much power.. and feel. this track has a pretty complicated melody and range and .. sitting in the control room while he was laying this down was a moment let me tell ya.. would be impossible to be happier with how this came out..

i'm obsessed with "home" .. i mean we spend our whole lives in our houses , (i know some cultures are nomadic but that just makes mother earth their "home" yea?) i love it all! the most trivial things are the best.. have so much heart to me .. the way someone will stack their shoes by the door , or those board games on the shelf from so and so's cousin , or check it out i put up some awning up the back so we can have coffee outside even when it’s raining. I go house watching a lot ..

lyrics

So share, the word can rhyme with two
But cover to cover the doona's mainly you, oh
But ya nanna's curtains will be breezed upon
Sending kisses down my arm
You’re a snuggled up bug
A lock of hair
With all ya worldly charm

Go!
The yellow salt and pepper shakers
A partial square light from the blinds
Tell me you’re already home
A splash of colour, sleight of hand
The key, the lock, a little nudge
Now I’m also home

The tip, the toe and then that step
I pad across the floor
Smile then turn left
Is it really that early?
Is it dawned upon?
Is there light playing down my arm?
Shall I tip toe after you?
Giggle then pick you up
And love you in my arms

Go!
The yellow salt and pepper shakers
Partial square light from the blinds
Tell me you’re already home
The splash of colour, sleight of hand
The key, the lock, a little nudge
Now I’m also home

I’m late for work, but that’s ok
I’m late most days, but that’s ok

Pick any little phrase
Lock it on ya lips
Let me try and guess the meaning
Don’t give a clue away; don’t give a clue away, oh oh, oh
I've hidden stuff around
The house that will explode
If you take too long to find it
I've given you the clues; I’ve given all the clues away

The fog, the mirror and two portals
Yours is heart shaped
I see that you've noticed that, yeah
Well I pick up your razor and I scrape my face and then
Tap, and a tap, and a tap
Slam dunk the razor in the bathroom bin
As my heart taps, taps, and taps
Go!
