Love in Retrograde

For anyone who's ever woken up next to someone they've known for years and thought "who are you today?"—and stayed anyway.

This one's about the love that survives not because you're consistent, but because you keep choosing each other through the changes. When your partner says "you're not who I fell for," and you realize—yeah, and neither are you, and that's not failure, that's growth.

We're not fixed stars. We're planets. Multiple versions of ourselves orbiting at different speeds—your emotional self racing ahead while your thinking catches up, feeling like contradiction when it's really just integration. And sometimes your future self overtakes your past self, and it looks like you're moving backward when you're actually just moving fast.

This is for the couples in their late twenties and early thirties navigating that strange territory where you're both becoming people you haven't met yet, and you have to decide: do we call this broken, or do we call this beautiful?

Astronomical concept inspired by retrograde motion—that phenomenon where planets appear to move backward because they're actually overtaking each other at different orbital speeds. Turns out, it's a perfect metaphor for how we grow, how we change, and how we love through all of it.

Spare acoustic, honest piano, warm bass. Late-night confession energy. For kitchen tables and 2am conversations and choosing complexity over simplicity.
If this resonates, you're not alone in your retrograde.

🌙 Multiple moons, one gravitational pull.

Lyrics:

[Intro] 

Shawty tell me why you didn't even try it
Put my heart on ice, in denial
My heart stone cold, in denial
Lookin' for you but you never tried it, never tried it

[Chorus]

Tell me why did you lie? I gave my all babe
Just to spend 4 more dollars for a heartbreak
Like a thief she rip my heart out and she run away
But when we fuck, girl I know that you heart race

[Vers I] 

You said that it's the last time that we seein' each other 
She said that it's the last time
Baby I want this to gon' last a while
So baby don't let this be the last time
Fly out to canary, yeah
Fill my cup, bacardi yeah
When I shoot, kill bodies 
When we fuck she do it naughty yeah 
And everybody said you gon' fuck with some other
And everybody said you ain't got love for your lover
And now I think about the time
When you left, without goodbye
You don't gotta tell me what you doin' is wrong
We can stay and lay here like this 
Let the whole world go to shit, but you

[Chorus]

Tell me why did you lie? I gave my all babe
Just to spend 4 more dollars for a heartbreak
Like a thief she rip my heart out and she run away
and when we fuck, girl I know that you heart race

Should've known from the start that you won't try
But I still want you back so baby we can try? cause
Cause nobody nobody nobody is like you
Cause nobody but nobody nobody like you


[Outro]

    
Nobody nobody nobody is like you
Nobody but nobody nobody likes you
I don't care cause you were mine, I was like you
And fuck this other guy cause you were mine too

Always Been You
