Incommunicado
Harvey Danger · Little by Little [2005]
(Just once)
Keep in incommunicado
(You don't say a word)
Look for the present tense and come to my senses
(Come pick me up)
Just like a desperado
(Ado)
I talked for twenty minutes
By the time the party ended, you'd forgotten
I'm still thinking about it
Five years later
You spoke an unfamiliar dialect
(Comme ca?)
Two and a half months over
(Over)
Next think, I knew someone had called for the check
(Check please)
And you were gone before I turned it over
I dreamed we were alone all night
In a house made out of beds
And nothing happened
I think about it every time I see you
That's when I try to remember
There were never any terms we could agree to
Now can I please have a moment of your time?
(Can I please have a moment of your time?)
For I have the strength to change my mind
(Read my mind)

The track showcases the band's signature blend of melodic hooks and introspective songwriting that defined their work during the turn of the millennium. Little by Little represents a period where the band explored new textures while maintaining the energetic spirit found on earlier records like King James Version.
