Humpty

I think it's probably in her top 3 songs, lyrics wise. She so perfectly conveys the polite self-effacement of anyone trying to earn love, it stings to listen to. Who hasn't at one point mistaken butterflies with the intense fear of someone leaving you?

UGH and that part where the song crescendos and she's bursting at the seams with those lyrics about snow and then she shuts herself up and says well that's my ride / hope you had a good night/ you know you made me happy / here shake my hand / you make such a good man / never once did you know me like.....congratulating someone for not even bothering to notice you weren't there the entire time, and to do it in such a detached, polite manner.... ouch!
