"This is such a beautiful record. Twenty Twenty Vision yearn for the days when frail lovesick records ruled the airwaves of late night radio. If you love perkily cascading spring time jangling chords all sensitively delivered then this is for you. Both Adequately Marvellous and In You I Hide are things to rekindle hope in perfect song writing yet the jewel in the crown is the dreamily spun Complication – swooning prickly pop of the highest order” (Losing Today Magazine).
The song is about someone who searches for, and finds, their biological parents.
lyrics
I didn’t come here to cause complication, I didn’t come to save the day
I only came here for some information, it wasn’t meant to be this way
Why don’t you call me beautiful? Why don’t you look at me that way?
Why don’t you call me beautiful anyway?
Is it too hard to look at me? Is it too hard to see your face?
Tell me how easy I was to give away
Don’t say you’re sorry, don’t say you had no choice
You made your choice
Maybe it’s sickness, maybe I’m selfish like you
Maybe I need to know who I am, who you are
Or maybe I need you
When will you call me beautiful? When will you look at me that way?
When will you call me beautiful everyday?
