## Thin

### Lyrics by Broomwatr/Matt Steidle Music by Matt Steidle & That's The Breaks *Copyright 2024*

-intro-  
I think it's happening again feeling pretty thin feeling pretty thin  
cuz  she said so my angel said so

-verse 1-  
ran my face into a bouncers fist right on the lip, at this bar on the strip  
and she was laughin’ about as hard as she could at me and my mouthful of blood

in the faded light, all i could find was this girl with her hair pulled   
tighter than a pony tale should, the floor, the sky, the door   
and my head full of mud

-chorus -  
I think it's happening again  
life is feeling pretty thin  
feeling pretty thin  
cuz  she said so  
she said so

-verse 2-  
as my head hit the casino floor, she took a skip  
like she was taking a trip, could I sense her in the back of the room?  
oh maybe I could see her AJ’s fly?

in the faded light, I tried to call to that girl with her laces so loose she could lose them in the mud  
her hair her jays the love it was all just too much 

-chorus -  
I think it's happening again  
life is feeling pretty thin  
feeling pretty thin  
cuz  she said so  
she said so

-bridge-  
took a shot in the face   
and on my way down  
we used to scheme we used to dream  
but now it feels like it’s just a distant dream  
you were my muse you were my inspiration   
but now all i can feel is desperation  
we live, we love, we fly,   
I tried to hold on I tried to fight  
she was already so far outta site  
now it seems like a back alley scheme  
we live, we love, we fly,  
and then we say goodbye…

-pre-chorus-  
like the pain of all modern things,  
isn’t it a sin?  
that it feels so thin?  
never heard her even say goodbye  
but as the desert wind flies i remember her eyes

-chorus-  
I think it's happening again  
feeling pretty thin  
feeling pretty thin  
cuz  she \[Gbmaj7\]said so  
she said so  
she said so  
she said so

*Notes: This song originally was aBonnie & Clyde style adventure/romance, in  fragmented scenes or experiences. We found we were forcing that concept too much, it was just difficult to commit to a full story but keep some of the mystery and not make it super contrived or turn the song into a super long ballad. After many efforts, Matt had an insight to consider the song just as an instance, right when the protagonist is socked in the face at the bar. So this set of brain-warp moments as he is falling to the floor, losing himself, and coming back but reality is feeling pretty thin.*
