Season 4 Episode 6: Toque de Santo

Companion Song: "Something to Believe In" by Young the Giant

"It gets old when you talk to the sun

And your tongue understood uh-no one

Can it be that I hear what he's saying?

Is there a reason why I'm still awake?

And he says, "I've got you written in a black book by the railroad track. You see, I know your fate."

(Ooh)

And I said, "you've got to listen, I'm a songbird with a brand new track. You underestimate."

I'll give you something to believe in

Put out the basement full of demons

Realize you're a slave to your mind, break free

Now give me something to believe in

Just give me...

Just give me something to believe in

Everyday when I speak to the moon

Pale as a ghost in the afternoon

Tragedy has a hold of my mind

But I can see the light between the lines

And I said, "you've got to listen, I'm a songbird with a brand new track. You underestimate."

I'll give you something to believe in

Put out the basement full of demons

Realize you're a slave to your mind, break free

Now give me something to believe in

Promise me

Sour flame

I'm a slave to my mind

You give me something to believe in

"I've got you written in a black book by the railroad track. You see, I know your fate."

(Ooh)

And I said, "you've got to listen, I'm a songbird with a brand new track. You underestimate."

I'll give you something to believe in

Put out the basement full of demons

Realize you're a slave to your mind, break free

Just give me something to believe in

Just give me...

Just give me something to believe in"

Will has barely touched his dinner. I've cooked the fish he caught today and served them with peppers and tomatoes and the obligatory rice. The dish is not enough to entice him away from the cork board mounted to the wall. We are eating in the kitchen, our plates on the prep table, specifically so that we can both see the collage of sketches and documents assembled there. But it is not enough; Will wanders out of his seat and studies the scale drawing of the docked yacht I created based on his nautical observations.

I abandon my plate as well and creep up behind him. He is enraptured by our plans and oblivious to me until I slide my arms around his midsection and rest my chin on his shoulder. He sighs, a restless sound, but angles his head toward me to nuzzle the side of my face for a sweet moment.

"Performance anxiety?" I ask.

Will barks out a laugh, closing his hands over mine. "Is this the part where you say, uh, 'don't worry, it happens to every guy at some point'?"
