about

The album version of "How Does That Help Me Tonight" (Angel On A Wire, 2007) is oddly fast, but this alt-country track began closer to this speed. The original multi-tracked demo of this song was lost between apartments on the east side of Milwaukee, but this live recording certainly captures the appropriate spirit.

lyrics

I wanna fall for you...if you want me to
You never thought it through - show me your tattoos
I'm so afraid to trust letting go inside
And I'm alone tonight even if you tried

How does that help me tonight?
Hanging by a thread

A letter laced with love still inside my mind
The pages I could write keep me warm instead
A little flame alight flickers in the wind
And I'm alone again, even if you tried

How does that help me tonight?
It's all in my head

How does that help me tonight?
I'm going back to bed
