Writing a week of un-ironic love songs is harder than I thought. I keep coming up against my inner 13-year-old, terrified of not being “cool” enough. I often use irony to hide how scared I am, so I suppose this song has an appropriately “scared” vibe. Certainly, sharing it with the world is scary.

To be honest, sharing any of these songs is scary – I suppose that’s why I’m doing it.

Oh no
Oh no, baby don’t you weep
They say
They say that talk is cheap

But I got words I want to
Give to you every day
And if they lose their meaning

I’ll say it all again that I love you
It’s not ironic, but it’s what I want to do

Too slow
Too slow for the kids these days
I know
I know it’s not the latest craze

But fads they come and go like
The seasons flying by
I want something that’s real, so

I’ll say it all again that I love you
It’s not ironic, but it’s what I want to do

Take my word, you
Know that it’s true
I can’t make this stuff up
I can’t even try
This is all I can say
You’ll just have to trust
That it’s not all just a lie

These are the words I want to
Give to you vbevery day
And if they lose their meaning

I’ll say it all again that I love you
It’s not ironic, but it’s what I want to do
