lyrics

it took a lifetime for us to link up
but a moment to agree
that good news and views are boring alone
and I would rather be on your team
you like the weird shape of my fingers
i like your stick and poke tattoos
criss cross on the bed at 4am
exploding to each other
I’m excited to have met
you

it took a long time for you to wake up
i sat up watching you breathe
explored your landscape with my fingertips
im tripping into love haphazardly
but i've been smitten like this and broken twice it
could be deja vu
wearing off like a jaded lover thinking
the magic isn't real but i didn't account for

you
in this lighting
soft in focus
soaked in grace
prettier than any other portrait
the sun, it doesn’t set
it bows to you
in this lighting
looking like everything makes sense and fits in place
and that kind of inspiration never goes away

oh i know that I shouldnt second guess myself
don't offend a sunny day
try not to forget that all is right
if it feels right
and this feels like
we’re being pushed from behind sometimes
by something divine
or paranormal

that’s why it took a long time for me to come home
I stayed out watching the sun sink low
if you haven’t learned yet then soon you’ll know
the song writer needs to be alone
to inhale his trail of missteps
to where the background blurs into
how could any of it be regrettable
if every decision i made was the chain that led me to you

in this lighting
soft in focus
soaked in grace
prettier than any other portrait
the sun, it doesn’t set
it bows to you
in this lighting
looking like everything makes sense and fits in place
and that kind of inspiration never goes away

The lyrics here some of the most refreshing and honest I've heard in a long time. Backed by the singer's crystal delivery and heart on sleeve tone, this album is as urgent as discovering your old diary and getting lost in the potency of memory and loves lost. Sanden Totten
