about

Wrote this song while babysitting my (then) 5-year old niece. She was trying to get my attention by threatening to run out the door but I was nose-deep in the creative process. I didn't want to ignore her so being the diligent aunt I am, I wrote it into the song.

lyrics

She’s scared to death of heights and so she climbs the highest skyrise that she can find and then she waits to be discovered. Oh, how we wait to be discovered. The man in the window, he takes off his shirt. He’s worked so hard. He wants to be a king, buy himself a brand new car and make out in all the scenes he dreamed about when he still dreamed. Oh oh oh! Well, I brought you some balloons and I dressed up like a clown. I wanted to see you laugh again at watching me while I pretend I’m on the verge of falling down. Sadie, come back through the door. Mama said you made a mess. There’s no more candy for you anymore. Don’t want to see you go but I confess, don’t want to see you being so depressed now. Tonight, I brought you some balloons and I dressed up like a clown. I wanted to see you laugh again at watching me while I pretend I’m on the verge of falling down. Sadie, come back through the door.
