"Pussyfoot" is heavily inspired by Ray Charles and Joe Cocker. I wanted a thick, horn-driven blues sound and Adam Walter really worked some magic with his saxophone, recording 3-part harmonies in just a couple of hours. "Pussyfoot" is the "end-of-the-party" type song. It's bittersweet sounding, has lush backup vocals, and the pace of the song is just enough to keep your head moving.
lyrics
I've been a fool, I've been afraid, I've been oh so lost
Broken down and betrayed, I pray it's done, it's gone
Forever changed, forever changed
All of your precious words, they only move to serve you
Lord, it's bleeding through...
And I wanna leave you, but I love you, I need you, I don't want to
It hurts too much so I'm moving on...
I'll tell you something, darlin'... One day you gon' see
You wake up next to someone else, just wishing it was me
But I'm never gone, I'm forever chained, forever chained by you
All of my wasted words, they only move to serve you
Lord, it's bleeding through...
And I wanna leave you, but I love you, I need you, I don't want to
It hurts too much so I'm moving on...
Oh you gotta feel the fire, before you feel the rain
Falling in love and out again
Oh you wanna see the light? Oh you gotta feel the pain
And it hurts so much but I ain't ever moving on...
I'll tell you something, darlin'...
