“Hey guys. I’m going to start my set off with a slow song, but don’t worry, they’ll get faster. This first song is called “Back on the Shelf.”

She strums the first chords of her song, and that’s when I notice her beautiful hands. Long, slender fingers on each hand grasp the pic and the neck of the guitar and move with ease.

As she starts to sing, the incessant chattering of the bar patrons disappears, and all I can hear is her voice. Her beautiful, raspy voice.

Don’t keep me waiting if you know I’m out of time

Don’t feed me false hopes if you’re sure you won’t be mine

I know your intentions are not to break my heart

But I’d rather you cut me loose now than let these feelings start

Let them start

Don’t even think about it, Spencer. This girl is way too gorgeous to be interested in you, or to even be gay at all.

And don’t, don’t tell me lies just ‘cause you don’t want to hurt me

Don’t use those eyes that say everything is gonna be alright

Just be honest with me, and tell the truth to yourself

So if you’re finished with me, just put me back on the shelf

You know that I want you, but don’t hold yourself too high

Don’t think I can’t take it if you toss me to the side

I may be falling for you, but not faster than I can take

So let me down quickly, not slowly

My heart would appreciate

Appreciate if you don’t

Don’t, don’t tell me lies just ‘cause you don’t want to hurt me

Don’t use those eyes that say everything is gonna be alright

Just be honest with me, and tell the truth to yourself

So if you’re finished with me, just put me back on the shelf

Don’t get me wrong, girl, you know I want you

Yes, I want you, baby

So if you think that you can keep me, then just keep me

She did just say ‘girl,’ right? Holy shit, maybe she is gay! Don’t get too excited, Spencer, you probably just heard her wrong. But god, do I hope she’s gay!
