Can't help falling in love

🎵 THE SPHERE.wav

i woke to find your ghost
folded amongst my drawers
on notes tucked in my books
are we still keeping score?

upon the brown brick walls
under the mango tree
we wrote our names in chalk
forgetting rain would bleed

you'd burrow into bed
you’d bury me in sheets
you’d dig my secrets up
and then uproot my grief

i drowned my love in waves
of honey chardonnay
i set my throat aflame
to never say your name

now I know I'm gliding down a tight rope
this train of thought is never gonna lead me home
when your breath blew over like a credo
it still echoes in my head when i'm alone

who would i be if i didn't know you
where would you be if i didn't leave you there
how did i pretend i didn't need you
how could you pretend you didn't see it

all the mile long walks
over blocks and blocks
what you're dreaming of
is what keeps me up

and when i close my eyes
i feel the void inside
i feel the great divide
wishing you were beside me

the great divide

Orange

recorded in 1 take in a closet
when i was 13 i was in a guitar center trying out thinlines all day bc they were my fave guitar and the ja-90 came out and i really wanted it. i got something similar (and nicer) 8 years later and i named him benjamin.

dont let me forget that summer
benjamin
remind me that i can do better
benjamin
i have never been so glad to be afraid

benjamin
impulse just becomes decision way to quick for me to even know my limit
i've been staring at the signs but i could never read them
you're a language i could never comprehend
did you even think that i could ever have it in me
just to pack 2 bags and fly out to a monster city
every passing minute makes me feel more tiny and more glad to be alive
or just glad to be alive

there's a high from being miserable and jaded
finding sounding boards for all of your frustrations
you confirm your biggest fears to the most pragmatic ears
and them pretend that it could somehow make you safe
but when i am around you i am nervous screaming silently while scanning every detail of your face
all this fear that i will never really feel this way again
lights the fire that burns me into being brave

you're my fleeting summer fuck up
i'm your tropical mistake
i have never been more glad to be afraid

Kiss Me

Kiss Me - Where's Ramona

I'd like to think I'm getting better at producing. Wrote this months back.

My friends all tell me that I should just stand up and approach you
but I tell 'em that I'm scared and that I'd rather just stay seated
in this very comfy chair that gets the perfect view every time 
you take a look at the clock that never seems to move

the days go by and I don't change a thing with what I'm doing
maybe someday I could muster up the strength to simply ask you
if you day is going well, or if it's one that's kinda shit
and you wouldn't wanna talk about it at all

I wish I could be even half as cool as those other guys
maybe then I wouldn't have to write this stupid song
just to get your attention

I find it very hard to pay attention when I couldn't even 
take my stupid eyes off how well her lips would move
even when she's only saying a bunch of words that shouldn't 
ever be heard on the radio

Maybe, maybe in another world
one where I could buy some confidence off the shelf at a mini-stop
in there, in there I'd be good
good enough to take a chance
and ask her for a dance

but for now, I'm perfectly okay
with just having her in my days
even just until the end of the semester

Well that's the lie I tell myself every day.

Bagong kanta.

Sana'y inyong magustuhan at ma-irekomenda sa inyong mga kakilala. :) 

Ingat po kayong lahat palagi.
