The lyrics are awesome, but the musical feel of the drums and guitar in the background make an incredibly intense emotional feeling. You can feel the music pulling at your soul, especially once its the vamp after the chorus and its just him humming with the guitar and the drums and it builds and builds. You can feel your heartstrings get pulled.
you shouldn't be here...
i feel awkward, and good
to be near you,
watch you rip through paper wool...
time may stall,
and i may be late...
i want it now,
but i guess i can wait...
you buy a bicycle,
i hear you coming over for food...
feed my appetite
with a mouthful of you...
time may stall,
and i may be late...
i want it now,
but i guess i can wait...
i guess i can wait...
you shouldn't be here,
i feel awkward...

Damien's O album was one of the best released in the last decade. He sang with such pain and passion, and he is truly one of the best singer-songwriters in the world. I'm looking forward to new material by him.
