about

Clint:
This tune was written during the recording of Better Dating... though I remember debut-ing it as we opened for Maggie Pierce and EJ in an Ann Arbor coffeeshop minutes after showing it to Bob and Ryan.

We got the name Madeleine from the "other woman" that tried to steal Kevin Arnold away from Winnie Cooper. Never did figure out what Kevin saw in Winnie.

lyrics

if i could take back all the things i said
i know i'd just screw it up all over again

the last thing i said has been in the air
too long
and that's lended it
an importance i never intended
now my meaning is as dead as the air
so we scrutinize each other in silence
losing you with every breath

oh, madeleine
i must have been
crazy to think i could say
what i want to
madeleine
i don't think
you knew what i was saying
when i stopped talking
i had it all worked out in my head
and now i wonder where it all went
dropped the ball again

now all our friends
left us alone again
they took their conversation with them
i turn the radio up too loud
you turn it down
and the fireworks go off in my head
you watch and you patiently wait
i calculate the distance between us
hyperconscious of the placement of hands

oh, madeleine
i must have been
crazy to think i could say
what i want to
madeleine
i don't think
you knew what i was saying
when i stopped talking
i had it all worked out in my head
and now i wonder where it all went
dropped the ball again

i'm rememberin'
seeing you in
the flicker of a tv screen
i'm rememberin'
seeing you in
the glow of a domelight

you whisper that you want me to stay
i whisper that i'd better go
cause what if something happened between us?
god, what if nothing did?

madeleine
i must have been
crazy to think i could say
what i want to
madeleine
i don't think
you knew what i was saying
when i stopped talking
but playing games that i never win
oh, madeleine
dropped the ball again
oh, madeleine
oh, madeleine
oh, no
dropped the ball again
