The Dress Song

from Curtains by Paris Street

/

about

Most of this was written while stuck in traffic on the way to see Star Wars Episode III. The night before, I had gone with a friend to a coffeeshop and laid eyes on the girl who inspired the second verse.

A quieter, accordion-led version of this song can be found on our first EP.

lyrics

kira, could you wear a dress
is it so hard to change
from the tired t-shirt and jeans
that you wear everyday

is it a selfish request
is it too sexist of me
to ask the girl that i love
to show off her femininity

it's a thought that i've had on my mind for quite a while
it's not a comment on your beauty at all
it's just a comment on your style

recall the girl that we saw
back at the coffeshop
in that strapless number
black with small, white dots

punctuated by the small
pink carnation on her chest
and the matching, lace trim
that ran along the hem

is she prettier than you? that's not what i'm trying to say
but in that moment she looked so beautiful
i couldn't look away

it doesn't have to reveal
it doesn't have to be tight
maybe a summer number
now that the weather's right

anything would be ideal
anything would suffice
i don't care about brand names
and i don't care about price

in fact, it should be cheap since it would be so overdue
that it would not take me too long at all
to tear that dress off of you
