BUTTER

My heartbeat flutters
I turn to butter
When I’m thinking of you
You make think I’m a nutter
‘Cause I turn all to butter
When I’m drinking with you

It’s more than the perfect reduction
It’s gathering a mighty function
I turn to goo at the sight of you
I’m like butter

My pulse starts to quicken
And my arteries thicken
When we’re hanging out and making a meal
My nose starts to tingle
I could hit a clutch single
When we’re walkin’, it’s a pretty sweet deal

I’ll make a perfect roux with you
There’s nothing else that I wanna do
You make me wanna fly south
You melt in my mouth, like butter

Let’s go fishing, we’re gonna catch a big one
Let’s go wishing, we’re gonna have some big fun
But my heart can’t take it anymore
It’s so big, I can’t squeeze through the door
I need some butter!

My knees start knockin’
My heart thinks of stopping
When I’m asking you for a dance
I’m getting rich by the hour
I could use a cold shower
What a luxury to have a second chance

It’s more than a simple deduction
It’s gathering a mighty function
I turn to goo at the sight of you
I’m like butter

Let’s go fishing, we’re gonna catch a big one.
Let’s go wishing, we’re gonna have some big fun
But my heart can’t argue anymore
It’s getting so big I can’t fit through the door
Let’s get living, we’re running out of time now
Let’s start giving, we’ve got a lot of dimes now
Gonna trade my house for a shack
It don’t matter ‘cause you got my back
You’re butter
This is no other
You are my rudder
Oh, butter
Yeah, bacon grease is kind of groovy
But I need my butter when I'm at the movies
Oh, butter!

John Gannon Portland, Oregon

Born and raised in the Philadelphia area, and classically trained on the clarinet, Gannon picked up other instruments along the way, moving to Portland in 2005. On Free Throws, he once again deploys lyric-writing that is both sardonic and bittersweet — and also sings and plays piano, keyboards, drums, and the saxophone and clarinet. ... more
