Call Me

Something’s on your mind
We say it all the time 
Are we just about to cry 
Really we’re just tired 

You wanna go outside
The kids are so hyped
Are we just about to die here
You say we’re alright 

We don’t have to talk about it much 
To know it’s real 
To know you got me feeling it 
I don’t care if no one knows about us 
Your kiss is enough to know it’s a crush 

And it cuts to your bone 
Straight off of your tongue 
Your the only one I want 
We’re still holding on 
I break for your love 
Straight off of my heart 
You’re the only one I want 
We’re still holding on 

The day is in your eyes 
Beautiful eyes 
Are you just about to smile 
You’re such a blue sky 

Nothing’s in your mind
We sit a little while 
Are we just about to find 
What it feels like 

We don’t have to talk about it much 
To know it’s real 
To know you got me feeling it 
I don’t care if no one knows about us 
Your kiss is enough to know it’s a crush 

And it cuts to your bone 
Straight off of your tongue 
Your the only one I want 
We’re still holding on 
I break for your love 
Straight off of my heart 
You’re the only one I want 
We’re still holding on 

CRUSH
You crush me baby
You know that I’m crazy
I’m still
I’m still crazy for your love
Ufff CRUSH 
You CRUSH me baby
You CRUSH me

“Starry Eyed” was written in the wake of my best friend’s coming out. It was a tender period that included many tough conversations, and tested both of our belief systems. I had to re-examine my views on faith and sexuality, and was faced with challenging questions about what exactly I believed. And there were times where it felt like my faith was slipping through my fingers… 

One night, feeling particularly alone and overwhelmed, I retreated to my studio in an attempt to find some catharsis. I sent up a wordless prayer in the form of a faint whistle and a melancholy melody (the same whistle that opens up the track). There’s something naturally light-hearted and carefree about whistling. It was the opposite of what I felt, but it was my last-ditch effort to inspire hope within myself.

I ended up doubling the whistle melody on electric guitar, and then layered a bunch of synth textures on top of it with my Moog Little Phatty. Before I knew it, my feelings existed in sonic form. And to just sit in my studio, with the lights off, the glow of the instruments, and the music on loop was incredibly healing for my soul. There’s something expressly vulnerable and spiritual that inhabits that part of this song.

"Starry Eyed" lyrics:
I don’t even know where to begin
But I’m feeling over my head
Losing sight of what I believe
The weight is taking its toll on me

So how do I look you in the eyes
And tell you I love you?
With everything shattered on the ground
Searching for the truth

We were holding the lines
Till we fell on hard times
I can still see the stars in the sky
I think that we’re alright

Yeah, we lost control
But we still got hope
I can still see the stars in your eyes 
I think that we’re alright
Yeah, I think that we’re alright

Everything that I thought I knew
Came crashing down because of you
But I’m happy you made a mess
Shook me awake from my ignorance

We were holding the lines
Till we fell on hard times
I can still see the stars in the sky
I think that we’re alright

Yeah, we lost control
But we still got hope
I can still see the stars in your eyes 
I think that we’re alright
Yeah, I think that we’re alright
Yeah, I think that we’re alright

Your secrets are heavy
But I’ll hold ‘em till you don’t need ‘em anymore
Your secrets are heavy
But I’ll hold ‘em till you don’t need ‘em anymore

Your secrets are heavy
But I’ll hold ‘em till you don’t need ‘em anymore
Your secrets are heavy
But I’ll hold ‘em till you don’t need ‘em

Holding the lines
Even in hard times
I can still see the stars in the sky
I think that we’re alright

Yeah, we lost control
But we still got hope
I can still see the stars in your eyes 
I think that we’re alright
Yeah, I think that we’re alright
Yeah, I think that we’re alright
Yeah, I think that we’re alright
