about

The album ends with a sigh on “Crossing the Line.” Beginning with a jazz rubato chorus of just piano and vocals, the song proceeds to add in the rhythm section and lush strings behind a soaring, dreamy whistling solo. It’s not quite Andrew Bird, not quite Bing Crosby, but a highly satisfying expression of the yearning and disappointment of unrequited love.

lyrics

Oh gee, oh my
What a fool am I
To open up and let you in my heart

It's very well that I should hold you
And pretend that you are mine
But if I tell you that I love you
You'll say I've crossed over the line

Oh well, I'll tell
Though the line's been drawn
And even though I think I know
That when you find these words I'll find you gone,
But then at least you'll see
Just what you mean to me
And I can say I've loved you,
And move on
