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

Hands
You know the ones
End of an arm
Getting all the fun

Hands
Our eyes in the dark
Such potential
For these utensils

Hands
Fourteen phalanges
Made for lending
For breaking and mending

Hands
Hands
These agents for intention

One minute fighting
The next playing

Hands
They’ve got lots to give
Everywhere I look
People do amazing things with

Hands
Can’t someone gimme a sign?
I just don’t know what to do with mine

Hands
One either side
Fingertips
One through five

Hands
Quite a design
I wish I knew yours
Like the back of mine

Hands
Moving nimbly
Primate tools
I got mine for free

Hands
Not always clever
The power to hurt
And make things better

One minute waving
The next flailing

Hands
They’ve got lots to wreck
Everywhere I look
People do useless things with

Hands
Can’t someone gimme a sign?
I just don’t know what to do with mine

Hands
They’ve got lots to give
If you wanna do some good
You better use them right so

Hands
Can’t someone gimme a sign?
I just don’t know what to do with mine
