It's been two and a half years since Josh Kaufman gave us the first Rocketship Park record Off and Away. The follow up is called Cakes and Cookies and it won't surface till 2011. "It's Not You" is the last song on Side A. It pleases us to offer it to you now as a stand-alone digital single. Thanks for listening.

IT'S NOT YOU
when you're waiting for someone
to pick up on the other side for an answer that sits inside
oh my, oh my, that's just a waste of time
you're giving away a piece of you, you're giving away the thing that's true
baby i don't wanna go to sleep tonight, something in my heart just doesn't seem right
ooo, and it's not you
i've been warned before when i wasn't feeling strong to shake and nod yes, just so i belong
takes away the thread that holds me together
like a boy in trouble i'm playing with bubbles
you're giving away a piece of you, you're giving away the thing that's true
baby i don't wanna go to sleep tonight,
something in my heart just doesn't seem right
ooo, and it's not you
you're giving away a piece of you, you're giving away the thing that's true
i don't wanna go to sleep tonight, something in my heart just doesn't seem right
ooo, and it's not you
