[She said]
If I want you, then where’s my follow-through?
If I need you, then why don’t I pursue?
I’d kind of love to, but I argue with myself
[He said]
Well you know I’m right here hoping that you’ll pounce
But you’re too cool, you won’t give an ounce
Your announcement is oh so overdue
[She said]
I’m one of those girls who rolls alone
Keep my heart, my head, my bed all to myself
[He said]
But oh, you fire my mind
You look so fine
You make me such a fool
[She said]
If I got you, how could I live a day without the pleasure of my own company?
Would I have to talk back when you speak to me?
[He said]
Why, tell me why you must roll alone
Keep your heart, your head, your bed all to yourself?
[She said]
But oh, you fire my mind
You look so fine
You make me such a fool
[She said]
Yeah I want you...but I don’t need you…I really don’t need you
[He said]
Oh yeah I want you…I don’t believe that’s true…OK, you don’t need me
[They said]
Alone doesn’t mean you’re lonely
Alone’s not a life that’s empty
But tonight it’s fine if we drink some wine
For a pairing that’s temporary
Only temporary

Nick Piunti's third album confirms the idiosyncratic talent of this musician who keeps churning out fantastic power-pop tunes that would rejoice even the most jaded pop-rock fan, whether young or old, if they knew about the existence of 'Beyond the Static'. POPPHIL
