about

this is a song about a boy named baxter who is in love with his close friend ripley. ripley is oblivious to his love, and baxter is too shy to tell him straight up.

lyrics

if eyes are windows
and glasses magnify quality
when they mix
how do you multiply fantastic beauty
and my heart fogs over
like a pane of glass
can i keep my eyes in yours
while i try not to pass

a chance to be
something more than friends
or a boy who loves a boy
who doesn't know he exists
or a boy who plays piano
and a boy who has his heart
in his fist

a soliloquy of daydreams
thrown in the lion's den
my heart is a caged bird
who can never sing again
believe it or not
i do better alone

or at least that's what i say
when ripley goes home
