Another song clearly influenced by his wife, Emma, “When You’re Smiling and Astride Me” is as close to a truly sentimental statement as Tillman has ever made in his music.
[Verse 1]
There's no need to fear me
Darling, I love you as you are when you're alone
I'll never try to change you
As if I could, and if I were to, what's the part that I'd miss most?
When you're smiling and astride me
I can hardly believe I've found you and I'm terrified by that
[Verse 2]
I've got nothing to hide from you
Kissing my brother in my dreams or finding God knows in my jeans
You see me as I am, it's true
The aimless, fake drifter, and the horny, man-child, Mamma's boy to boot
That's how you live free
To truly see and be seen
