I thought I heard the phone. I thought I heard it ring.
I think someone's on the other side, breaking everything.
I poured myself a glass. Then, I dropped it on the floor.
I thought I heard a "tap, tap, tap" a rapping on my door.
Decided not to answer then I picked up my guitar.
Right then I heard the car alarm start screaming from my car.
Three men dressed in black burst in and made me break a string.
So, I leapt onto my feet and started breaking everything.
Threw the TV out the window, put my boot through the wall,
put a hole in the wastub and I made the bookcase fall.
I wriggled metal pieces and I overstretched the spring,
I did not change the oil, so I'm breaking everything.
Listen to me dance, try to hear my swing. Listen to the sound of breaking everything.

So, here's my thing about this amazing thing. I've listened to every single thing of Amanda's that I could since 2008. So when I say I failed with this album, you'll understand how big that is. When this came out, I thought I'd get around to it later because I knew a bunch of the tracks on it already. I never got around to it. Now, I've heard it, and I'm broken. In the best way. I lost a dear friend this year, and I'm never going to get over it, but this album helps so much. Thank you, Amanda. Delenn
