about

This goes out to all of you.

lyrics

just like a wake-up call two seconds too soon
when i am startled out of sleeping
and washed over in blue
and my heart’s chasing this unnamed, fleeting feeling
that’s gone off there with the evening
as the sun peeks all over you

and like a half-remembered dream i keep on thinking
that i’ve messed up all the reasons and the details
that brought together truth
and this "we" of ours, a word left untranslated
i wish i’d seen it, i could have seized it
freeze-framed it so i wouldn’t have had to fall

it was all sleight of hand, accidental trick
this crime of opportunity
my pockets emptied of affections
i cannot really afford to really feel
and what is worse is i can’t blame you
i can’t get mad or even shame you
for an unexpected something
that neither of us would have known

and i wonder
do you see a half-made memory of me
your eyes, that smile, your voice
calling out my name

and i—
i wonder if it's right at all
to want to say goodbye

we’ll chalk it up to déjà vu
this love from me to the ghost of you
and me and everything
that we could have
ever tried to be

let’s not define ourselves by what we’re not
maybe one day we’ll time it right
but for now let’s breathe
and let go
at the count of three

about

sheisnoelle Manila, Philippines

When people ask what it is that I do, I tell them simply:

I write about people, about feelings, about people who make me feel and what they make me feel. When I set my fingers over the piano keys or curl these around a pen, I tell the music all the things that my heart knows and if I am lucky it will give me a tune.

Hello, my name is Noelle Pico and I write songs.
