about
I was experimenting, trying to write something that spoke to the cohesion of internal disorganization. Interruption and fumbling, yearning and distress. Blanket statement, flashback, reflection, all that again, closing recitative. Experiences dropped into a pool, the melody is the path they take.

lyrics
Girls who can't breathe
Come lean on me
'She's the one,'
What I thought when I was on the way back home
The night we met
I still don't know
I'm confused
There's a girl
I want to fall in love with you
Get in my bed and let's be friends
And I'll pretend I'm your girlfriend
Hey, don't cry
I'll be by your side
Angel, I'm still trying not to die
Girls who can't breathe
Why lean on me?
I'm confused
There's a girl
I want to fall in love with you
How could I wait
When I want you
But I don't think you'll follow through
Hey, don't cry
I'll be by your side
When I go
You know I have to though
If she's the one I want
How can I keep myself safe?
I'll believe in some different place
Where they will wait
And they will make
Within the sheets
A dream:
She keeps the deepest parts of me safe
Angel, I'm
Don't touch me when you're high
Hey, don't cry
I'll still be on your side
I'll call for you
When I say 'I love you' but I don't stay
I don't mean I won't wait
I just mean I can't stay
In one place
When I say 'I love you' what I mean is
In my head
I'm always
Running to you
