A solo acoustic return to that power pop feel (in my head it's the child of "All the Young Dudes" by Mott the Hoople and "Charmless Man" by Blur), with a danceable ditty about sad stuff, recorded in a single take on my chaise lounge, which annoyed my cat a little.

lyrics

You never know when I'll decide you're tired of me —
we may go for quite the ride when suddenly,
all the good that came before
means you can't stand me anymore.

Everything beneath the sun will fade and die,
so don't you wring your hands and wonder how or why.
We can talk this out to death,
but it's better if you save your breath.

I've disconnected;
you've been affected
but it's not about you.
I've disconnected;
don't feel rejected —
this is just what I do.

Now I know you've got some pretty perfect picture in your head
of where I fit inside your universe,
and I hate to have to tell you how it has to be instead
but before your happiness gets any worse...

run away and find someone who's not so weird —
maybe they won't be undone by all I've feared.
Please erase me from your head;
don't try to call — the line is dead.
