about

"Corner Baby is my bravest attempt to learn something from a crumbling history of loving and being loved. It symbolises a desired existence of loving with no inhibitions, no pretence, and no fear."

Theme: To be brave in love is to be honest.

lyrics

Must I leave my knees so weak,
Must I fall for you once again,
I've no company I'd ever rather keep, my love,
Than the arms that knew me like you did then,

Will you have me on first sight,
Will you hold out what I lost,
You know intentions were held so close on the flight,
Now I wanna feel them warm, warm again,

Just to lift you up, Corner Baby,
Featherlight in your head,
Looks like we're finally looking steady,
Don't you think I aught to get to you,
To you,

I look alive, I feel alive,
I look the part but I'm surely not,
If only you could've seen me,
I'm not so comfortable all over the inside tonight,
That's not the way you thought I'd be,
No, no, no, no,

Take me over there where you fed me,
Choke to cheek as it snows,
The place to ourselves, we're ever so ready,
Don't you think a night is overdue,
Don't you think I aught to get to you,

Will you have me on first sight,
Will you hold out what I lost,
Now I wanna feel them warm,
Now I wanna feel you warm,
Now I wanna feel your warm.
