about

July’s Twelve Squares release is all ooh’s and ahh’s. “Be Home Soon” is shorn of every instrument save Kat’s pipes and those of San Diego’s sweethearts, The Lovebirds. It plays with silence, and it soars, too, and we hope you’ll enjoy it!

lyrics

In December on a Friday
I’m just leaving LA
I wonder if I need caffeine
I call you on speakerphone
Tell you I’m coming home
And you say “hurry please”

Oh baby I’ll be home soon
Oh baby I’ll be home soon

We hang up the connection’s bad
I weigh your voice you’re stressed and sad
An hour more is all I need
Pass the lot full of Christmas trees
The Denny’s sign without a “D”
Lit up like you light up only with me

Oh baby I’ll be home soon
Oh baby I’ll be home soon

Shift to neutral and I coast
Down the winding mountain road
Into the valley that leads to the sea
I sing to the darkness
You walk to our apartment
The same moonlit sky keeps up company

Oh baby I’ll be home soon
Oh baby I’ll be home soon

You buy a pack of cigarettes
Smoke half of one and toss the rest
If I were home I would breathe in your breath
Take a weight off your mind, rest my head on your chest

Oh baby I’ll be home soon
Oh baby I’ll be home soon
Oh baby I’ll be home soon
Oh baby I’ll be home soon
