about
My name is Connor Mehren, and Jane & The Magic Box is the moniker for my bedroom-demo recording projects. I've been in love with music for as long as I can remember, and I plan to nurture that love every day until I die. 'Hey Pretty' is a track from an EP entitled "Mender Bender". It was written last year as a part of a series of EP's to be released sometime in 2013. Keep an eye out on my soundcloud* if this track caught your interest for more music!

lyrics
Rushing up to meet you
Frantically to greet you
To swoon.
To swoon, pack up, and go
home too soon.
I pay you for attention
I pay you double for retention
Like a fool.
Like a fool ,
Foolishly fooling himself
And you.
*So I wait wait wait for days. *
Nothing is sticking,
Nothing's seeming to stay.
I've got incessant guessing
None of it happens to help in anyway.
And you look great for days.
None of it's special,
yeah I need a rebate,
to get back what I paid,
and invest new places, hey pretty.
It's a taxing race.
I'm losing my senses,
My hairs turning grey.
I'm feeling tired,
feeling nearly expired.
It's a tragic display .
With a limited array,
With victors left lacking,
kind of okay.
Out of two hundred squired,
A small few were admired.
I should call it a day.
*So I wait just a few more days, *
And something starts clicking,
Ticking-Tocking all day.
I am enlightened, and
I am okay with third place.
But is third place
A good place
To stay?
Frantically to greet you
To swoon.
To swoon, pack up, and go
home too soon.
I pay you for attention
I pay you double for retention
Like a fool.
Like a fool ,
Foolishly fooling himself
And you.
*So I wait wait wait for days. *
Nothing is sticking,
Nothing's seeming to stay.
I've got incessant guessing
None of it happens to help in anyway.
And you look great for days.
None of it's special,
yeah I need a rebate,
to get back what I paid,
and invest new places, hey pretty.
It's a taxing race.
I'm losing my senses,
My hairs turning grey.
I'm feeling tired,
feeling nearly expired.
It's a tragic display .
With a limited array,
With victors left lacking,
kind of okay.
Out of two hundred squired,
A small few were admired.
I should call it a day.
*So I wait just a few more days, *
And something starts clicking,
Ticking-Tocking all day.
I am enlightened, and
I am okay with third place.
But is third place
A good place
To stay?
