I wrote Finite while I was loosing someone I was very attached to but that I also knew was really bad for me. During this I started thinking about how every time I have lost someone or my heart has broken it has made me a better writer and it has inspired me in some dark and twisted way. I thought it would be kind of fun and cynical to write a love song about the impermanence of relationships. To me this song says, its powerful to loose someone who was always going to hurt you, there is no need to fear abandonment, and wether the relationship is good or bad it is kind of beautiful that everything and everyone is finite. Everything would be meaningless if it wasn't.

There was a blue moon that happens very rarely a few months ago and someone I liked asked me to go to the ocean and see it. It inspired the lyric "only you and the moon could pull me out tonight". I added sounds that I recorded through the voice memos on my phone, including that persons heart beat from that night.

You & The Moon

Your next to me in the morning 
Forgot until I saw you face 
Sun beams next to you I lay back down
I wish you could stay 

Still while the wind shakes the windows 
Home in my room for winter break
Your in your last semester
We’ll go back to the city but your bound for the planes

what if it is to soon 
I would wish I said it if I lost you
always on the tip of my tongue 
I almost said i love you

tell me is it to soon
said to just say what I want to
baby would you say it back to me 
nothing could be more true

Tell me when is it to soon 
To say I love you 
I think that’s is way to soon 
To loose you

I tried to keep it a secret 
But I think you know 
And every piece of my being 
wants to hold on and grow

I wanna make it back to summer
And hold you close incase you leave
I know you wanna protect my heart
But it would feel better just to throw it to the heat 

what if it is to soon 
I would wish I said it if I lost you
always on the tip of my tung 
i almost said i love you

tell me is it to soon
said to just say what I want to
baby would you say it back to me 
nothing could be more true

Tell me when is it to soon 
To say I love you 
I think that’s is way to soon 
To loose you

What would it sound like
I dream of your voice 
Say it
Silence wouldn’t wouldn’t change anything 
I love you
If you leave 

Tell me when is it to soon 
To say I love you 
Tell me when is it to soon 
Cause I do

When Is Too Soon (Scratch track + drums & bass)

Too Good by Drake & Rihanna (Sonic Re Color)

I was saying bye to a new friend before they went home for the summer. We talked about how we didn't want to loose touch and I said "don't worry, you cant escape me now". I realized that I liked that phrase and that it could make a cute love song. I wanted the theme of the song to be you cant escape me, and I cant escape you, because you cant escape the person you escape to. 

Lyrics:

V1
Spark under dim florescent light
Moving closer to me
Came in one of those dark blue nights
Knowing you is like the heat

Close enough for you to touch my lips
But I love how you give it a minute 
Cant believe that your as beautiful 
As the way that you speak

Pre C1
I tilt my head to the side
(What are you and what..)
What did I just find?

C1
Our eyes say things we haven’t said out loud
This isn’t over now
And you are treasure Im happy that I found 
Cant let go cant be allowed 

Post C1
You cant escape me now
Ill hold you hostage and I won’t let you down
You cant escape me now
Baby your the kind that you keep around

V2
Speeding fast on the highway
Adrenaline stereo drums
We have plans to leave it all behind
And you make me feel alive

Pre C2
Were starting to fly
(Cross the borderline)
Where were far out of sight

C2
Our eyes say things we haven’t said out loud
This isn’t over now
And you are treasure Im happy that I found 
Cant let go cant be allowed 

Post C2
You cant escape me now
Ill hold you hostage and I won’t let you down
You cant escape me now
Baby your the kind that you keep around

Pre B
And I cant escape you too
And I don’t want to 

B
So hold my wrists and don’t let me go
Look into my eyes and kiss me slow
Hold me down and make me glow
Baby can you feel it, its intangible 

C3
How our eyes say things we haven’t said out loud
This isn’t over now
And you are treasure Im happy that I found 
Cant let go cant be allowed 

Post C3
You cant escape me now
Ill hold you hostage and I won’t let you down
You cant escape me now
Baby your the kind that you keep around

Post C/ Outro
You cant escape me now
Ill hold you hostage and I won’t let you down 
No I won’t go back I won’t let go of you
You cant escape the one you escape too
