Your number's in my phone I can't delete it, no Your face is in my head I wish that I was dead I can't delete you, no
Love isn't easy, love isn't fun Love cannot be for everyone Your words can make me feel obsolete It would be so easy to press delete
Your number's in my phone I can't delete it, no Your laugh rings in my ears & beckons for the tears I can't delete you, no
It's not that simple to say farewell When I am still waiting for more of this hell It's not that easy to chuck it all When I am still waiting for you to call
I'm looking at the screen Remembering you were mean I go to press delete Remembering you were sweet Your number's in my phone I tried, but don't you fret I can't delete you yet
An interview with my brother, regarding his thoughts on sexuality, gender, homophobia in young people, etc. For a 14-year-old, he's a really, really smart kid.
I love Marc Shaiman & his work. This video expresses so much of what I want to tell the world about sexual orientation & how non-hetero sexualities can coexist peacefully with religion, if people would only open their minds.
This is a video that has only previously been released as part of a DVD of my concert at Heliconian Hall last year. (There is another one being held in a couple of months - click here for details if you're interested.) I wrote this song about coming out as bisexual - the story, the feelings, the aftermath. This video shows the first time I ever played it in public, which is how I came out to most of my family.
It was the middle of May & I was content just to be myself Couldn't have paid me to spend a day as anybody else Stepped out into the world - imagine my surprise: I looked upon someone special with fresh eyes
It's hard to say these things out loud... but She was a girl I was shocked, I couldn't believe & I thought: well, this is news to me
So I got right back on track, though I didn't know where I was supposed to go She made me blush, she made me stutter - h-h-h-h-hello I found out girls are different - they're a lot more free It's not as much about the chase, or about my body (not that there's very much to see)
It's hard to say these things out loud... but She was a girl I was shocked, I couldn't believe & I thought: what does she think of me?
I thought long & hard about what I should do Maybe those little smiles meant she liked me too So I took a chance & told her what I couldn't hide Let me tell you, it was so exciting, I could've died
& she was a girl Oh boy, was she a girl & I learned something 'bout myself that I had never known before Which is that boys & boys & boys & boys & more boys can get to be a bore Sometimes I want something different than what I'm used to & sometimes she is there & she is wanting me too
I wrote this song in response to the passing of Proposition 8 in California. Even though same-sex marriage is legal where I live, it still upsets me to no end that the majority of Americans apparently think that queer people should be excluded from their constitutional rights. I had never written a political song before, but this was such an important issue to me that I was compelled to write it.
On my YouTube page, it spawned some interesting discussions & debates about same-sex marriage, which you can read by clicking here. I found it very moving that my fans would stick up for me when I was verbally battling a closed-minded religious zealot on this topic.
Get your religion out of my bed, & I will keep my bed out of your church All your deception must be in vain; I think it's time to give up your search For validation of your heart Validation of your heart
Get your propaganda offa my TV, & I will keep my words out of your ears I can tell by looking that you're scared of me, & I'm about to validate your fears For validation of my heart Validation of my heart
There's a reason why we live in separate places I don't think we could stand to see each other's faces You're messing up the world with your lousy legislations & your half-assed ministrations Don't control the population In the name of validation of your heart
Get those cruel words offa your lips, & I will get this song offa mine There's been enough resistance for you to get the hint: your policies are dying on the vine Alla these protests, sit-ins & strikes may seem rather rough But no matter how many ambitions you crush, it'll never ever be enough For validation of your heart Validation of your heart Validation of your heart Everybody needs a place to start
