Liner Notes

For Hugo, for whom I am a fool

Lyrics

The first day it was simple, just two old family friends The adult’s university reunion, didn’t know what to expect When you walked in you were smiling, even after the drive I showed you round my aunt’s house, you caught me by surprise I’m not one to be won over by just a single glance But within a couple minutes I was staring at my hands You turned me shy and awkward with every word you said You laid out all the ropes and I got tangled in your net

Now I’m a fool for you darling I’m a fool for you But you’re a way across the country We were always doomed But I don’t want you to go yet I don’t want you to leave I’m such a fool for you darling Are you a fool for me?

The second day my thoughts were running around my mind I didn’t know what words to choose, so I stumbled every time I didn’t want to look an idiot but you were struggling too You laughed at all my jokes, I think i started to like you The third day it was flawless, we looked up at the stars Frozen skin pressed together, I could almost hear your heart We counted down to new year’s, your eyes locked with mine As the clock on the wall ticked over to midnight in twenty twenty five

I was a fool for you darling I’m a fool for you I fell faster than light speed We were always doomed But I think we could actually do this If we give it a try I’m such a fool for you darling I won’t ever get tired

The last day it was awful, I watched you pull out from the drive I waved from the window while you sped out of my life It cut me deep to see you leave, don’t know when we’ll meet again Now you’re miles away and I miss you and I should be sleeping But I couldn’t push you from my mind, not then on new year’s day I was lost without you then and some things never change Then your name appears on my screen, it’s like you never left Please don’t be a stranger, i’ll get the train at your request

I’m still a fool for you darling Still a fool for you I’ll travel across the country Whatever I have to do We can make this thing work Give it a year or two I’ll still be a fool for you darling I’m always a fool for you

Really sweet story and charmingly crafted. I like what feels like a mostly sweet ending

A fun then painful romp through what an instant infatuation. I like the unsettled feeling of wanting this to be something real. The plaintive feeling of “Are you a fool for me?” feels like it captures that ongoing uncertainty.
