Chance Emerson - 'How Can I' (Live from My Strange Sad College Dorm Room) - Videos

had to do it on the banjo too, you know...

all cinematography is by the photobooth app
lighting by me and my roommate
set construction done by university
decorations painfully hand sourced

LYRICS
-----------
yesterday morning
i saw this man who didn’t know his life
and if he did he chose to lie

he wandered in circles
said who are you and darling who am i
fictional and sleep deprived

but that got me thinking
i haven’t asked myself in all this time
about the boy behind my eyes

is he a stranger
a parasitic pest inside my mind
or is he just the same tonight

time is a sculptor, i’m just the clay
bring me to life now, galatea waits

the world may be paper i’ll be okay
a paper cut hurt me once but still i put pen to page, i’m singing

how can i love you
how can i love you
how can i love you if you can’t love yourself

stare in the mirror
still dark outside and i’m already in a dive
you hold my hand to pass the time

its supposed to be clearer
like a little purpose straight from way up high
if that’s the case then where is mine

amorphous and tiring
the changing of the seasons is alright
but not the change from deep inside

the world is a-lying
spin me up in your brutalist designs
i need a piece of peace of mind

time is a sculptor, i’m just the clay
bring me to life now, galatea waits

the world may be paper i’ll be okay
a paper cut hurt me once but still i put pen to page, i’m singing

how can i love you
how can i love you
how can i love you if you can’t love yourself

let me out of this place, let me out of this place
let me out of this place, let me out of this place

how can i love you
how can i love you
