about

This is the first song I have ever written all the way to completion. I thought it was a poem as I was writing it, but as I recited it, I realized it was a song. It came to life in Julie's backyard with salt from the ocean in our hair and mosquitoes biting our legs.

lyrics

Strings entangled in a delicate embrace. Chaotic winds encouraging the chase. We are fabric in a sea of shore birds dipping and gliding and trying to meet.

The crowd below screaming,

"Dazzle with deceit! Cut him down! Make him fall! Entertain us all!"

(Well, I hate to disappoint.)

Sometimes you need a helping hand to reach the sun.
Ocean-eyed boy, band-aids show you've had some fun.

My mission is not to knock you down from the sky but to gently spin you out, to help you glide, to watch you fly. I want to be the puppeteer that makes your heart dance on glass-encrusted kite strings of romance.

(I'll let the shards slice my fingers if it means the pain would linger and I could touch you one more time.)

"Dazzle with deceit! Cut him down! Make him fall! Entertain us all!"

Sometimes you need a helping hand to reach the sun.
Ocean-eyed boy, band-aids show you've had some fun.

(And if I can't meet you there, then I hope the current takes you where you want to go.)

"Dazzle with deceit! Cut him down! Make him fall! Entertain us all!"

Sometimes you need a helping hand to reach the sun.
Ocean-eyed boy, band-aids show you've had some fun.

Apparently this is what happens when you grow up doing a little musical theater, reading a lot of books, and listening to punk.

I promise it's much better live.
