This song is about geographic distance revealing how much you love somebody. The "hair in the breeze" is one of those simple natural elements that makes you feel connected with the loved one, even when distanced. The recording started in NZ on a family holiday. I started tracking with my wife's abandoned nylon acoustic from her teenage years. I had planned to replace the take but the character and sentiment of using that guitar worked, so I kept it! The rest was recorded in a home studio in Aus.

I’ve been having childish thoughts
About doing it with you
We could break this silence
With the noises of youth

I’ve been having childish thoughts
I think you’ve had ‘em too
Calls of nature
Are what your mind is turning to

Some say ignore them
They need to learn
But I often return to these

Childish thoughts
What am I to do?
Deep down I’m a child too
All these needs and I long to be held

These childish thoughts keep
changing me
But I like things as they are
Some say ignore them
They need to learn
But I often return to these
Childish thoughts

Every new life starts with one little death
And I’m afraid to face mine
They creep into our room
And seek comfort in our bed
You say baby baby baby please

Still I keep having childish thoughts
About us going all the way
I think I’d like to see the day
When I come early and you’ll be late

These childish thoughts keep following me
And maybe it’s time to lead?
Cos I can’t ignore them
And I need to learn
That I’m called to return

Cos every new life starts with one little death
And it’s time to look mine in the eye
They double dare me
But I ain’t flinching when they stare
It’s time to act my age
And have some childish thoughts with you

Where does one go
When you’re flat on your back
And feeling so low?
I’m only asking for a friend

When everything’s wrong
How do you face yourself?
Well I guess I wouldn’t know
See I’m only asking for a friend

Me I move straight from
one triumph to the next triumph
As you see it’s all wall to wall glory
But I got someone here who really needs to know
How do you move on?
How do you love strong?
I’m only asking for a friend

What if your best amounts to nothing
Nothing much at all?
Oh I’m only asking for a friend

Look to the skies
You might see me flying
Without a care in the world
Cos I’m only asking for a friend

Me I move straight from
one triumph to the next triumph
As you see it’s all wall to wall glory
But I got someone here who really needs to know
How do you move on?
How do you love strong?
I’m only only

So in your own time
If you’d be so kind

In your own time
If you’d be so kind
I’m only asking for a

Me I move straight from
one triumph to the next triumph
As you see it’s all wall to wall glory
But I got someone here who really needs to know
How do you move on?
How do you love strong?

I’m only asking for a
Only asking for a
Only asking for a friend
