lyrics

(good acoustics)

It is not the light and it is not a season and it is not the north
I have let people believe all three because they are prettier
The truth is I cannot sing at a face and the dark removes them
And I have built an entire practice out of avoiding a room

A coward with good acoustics (acoustics)
That is the whole method, acoustics
Nothing mystical, acoustics
Acoustics

Good acoustics, acoustics, good acoustics, acoustics
Two months a year I am brave because nobody can see
Good acoustics, acoustics, good acoustics, acoustics
And ten months a year I am completely silent and fine with it

A festival asked me to play in June. Outdoors. Midnight sun.
I said no and gave them a reason about the recordings.
The reason was that people would be able to look at my face.

Good acoustics, acoustics, good acoustics, acoustics
Two months a year I am brave because nobody can see
Good acoustics, acoustics, good acoustics, acoustics
And ten months a year I am completely silent and fine with it

(look at my face...)
