The interruption.
Our hero tries to have breakfast. A very enthusiastic pollster has other plans.
They know your ZIP code. Your shoes. Your tea. But do they know you?
A mischievous little acoustic-pop anthem for a world that won't stop asking questions. One guitar, a million opinions, and absolutely no margin for boring.
Fingerpicked guitars. An almost-too-sweet chorus. And the mildly alarming realization that your cat has better boundaries than you do.

They asked for my leanings;
I leaned on the sink.
It starts with a poll. It ends with a point: sometimes being counted isn't the same as being understood.
Our hero tries to have breakfast. A very enthusiastic pollster has other plans.

But nobody's asked what it's like to be me.
Polling me softly, oh, tell me what I mean.
Put my little maybe on a bright TV screen.
Red, blue, or “call me later”—I'm somewhere in between.
Polling me softly, but you don't know me.
There's a graph for my sighing, a bar for my doubt.
My cat hit “no comment” and signed himself out.
I'm not a percentage in somebody's chart.
I've got crumbs on my shirt and a changeable heart.
Polling me softly, oh, tell me what I mean.
Put my little maybe on a bright TV screen.
Red, blue, or “call me later”—I'm somewhere in between.
Polling me softly, but you don't know me.
Leave your question at the beep. [BEEP!]
