about

‘A Stubbed Toe of the Heart’ was written with the prom night of a John Hughes movie in mind, sound-tracking a dance scene with Molly Ringwald.

lyrics

It feels like I’m in love again
A stubbed toe of the heart
I picture us together then
I picture us apart.

And everytime that I look at you
I feel my eyes explode
You’re the only thing I want.

I don’t need love but my love I still need you
I’m wasting my breath singing songs I wrote for you
Let’s just pretend that we’re young and happy too, my love
Just like we used to be.

And the fires of my love
Burn stronger than before
And it’s hard enough for me to
Try and say that you’re
The only thing I want.

I don’t need love but my love I still need you
I’m wasting my breath singing songs I wrote for you
Let’s just pretend that we’re young and happy too, my love
Just like we used to be.
