about
I wrote “Lunch” after reading Frank O’Hara’s Lunch Poems, an incredible collection of his poetry. The poems are mainly set in 1960s NYC, and being from the city myself, I found a deep resonance within my own life. The chorus of this song is taken from the final stanza from “Steps,” one of my favorite poems in the collection. “Lunch” is about finding such a beautiful, deep love that you laugh, surprised that something so wonderful could happen to you. It’s a yearning, pining song at its core, but gentle in its instrumentation and vocal delivery, building to a release in the end.
lyrics
Do I know you
Have I always
In the springtime
Through the fall days
By the ocean
In the tall waves too
Do I miss you
Have I always
In the classroom
In the hallways
In the morning
In the small ways too
Oh my god it’s wonderful
To get out of bed
And drink too much coffee
And smoke too many cigarettes
And love you so much
And eat lunch
All I want is
A room up there and
You inside it
Brush your hair then
You crack the window
Let the air in too
Oh my god it’s wonderful
To get out of bed
And drink too much coffee
And smoke too many cigarettes
And love you so much
And eat lunch
Oh god it’s wonderful
To get out of bed
And drink too much coffee
And smoke too many cigarettes
Oh my god it’s wonderful
To get out of bed
And drink too much coffee
And smoke too many cigarettes
And love you so much
And eat lunch
