about

"“Foolish Ways” depicts a relationship with a disparity in levels of maturity. A certain charm and playfulness go along with a lack of maturity, but whimsy must be coupled with responsibility for a connection to last. In the end, our song seems to suggest those foolish ways led to a break up.
"

lyrics

"Would you take a bath with me?
Tell me, would you make the time?
I will bring the soap for you and me
Maybe you could bring the wine

Or maybe you’d rather take a walk
To the end of the road and around the water
I will tell you of my plans to write a book
And my dabbling as a photographer

And you will laugh, laugh, laugh at me
And my childish ways
And you’ll say, it’s so good to see you back
To your old foolish ways

I might take you by the hand
And I might take you by surprise
If it’s something simple that you’re looking for
You’re staring into the wrong pair of eyes

We’ll have clear skies in the morning
By night this house will be on fire
Find this ship floating aimlessly
‘Cause it takes more to fill these sails than just desire

You will cry, oh you will cry
And try and walk away
And you’ll say, there are times when I just cannot find the strength
For your old foolish ways

Sold my ticket for the train
Gonna give it another day
I’ll wait with my head, my heart so heavy on my sleeve
In the company of my old foolish ways
"
