Yet another song that started its life on an EP, "I Wasn't Prepared" mixes beautiful melancholy with poetic imagery. Sherri sings the first and last verses and high harmony, while Stacy sings the second verse and low harmony. "I Wasn't Prepared" has appeared on the Laughing City EP as well as Room Noises. It tends to be the song new listeners and critics enjoy the most.

But, I wasn't prepared for this.

When the morning came the bees flew down and wrapped themselves around me,
And that's when I spoke a word, to have them trace your face for me in pollen.

But, I wasn't prepared for this.

Come back, come back to me, my darling.
