Loving You Anyway

© 2025 WhoaProductions – All Rights Reserved

I met you on a plane 
Sitting by yourself 
Not knowing fate 
Was about to be dealt. 
As I was  
Escaping myself. 
A vision of presence 
Became 
An experience of 
My life 
As I was about to 
Meet my wife. 
Unaware of the 
Intrinsic leaping. 
A willfulness 
That keeps creeping 
Past the direction 
Of what I was seeking 
The crossing of 
Our paths 
Bringing experiences 
To internal ever last. 
Two lives that 
Blast past 
Projecting to what they 
Have been cast. 
Love  
not the next task 
the joining of two hearts 
simple and free 
to experience a life 
of you and me. 

Unaware of the 
Intrinsic leaping. 
A willfulness 
That keeps creeping 
Past the direction 
Of what I was seeking 
The crossing of 
Our paths 
Bringing experiences 
To internal ever last.

On a Plane

**Description after the lyrics**

Verse 1
You paused before you turned—
Long enough for me to yearn
I felt the words behind my teeth,
I waited long for you to speak.
But both of us, afraid to fall,
Let nothing rise, we said it all.

Chorus
We almost said it, both of us—
A word, a touch, a wait for trust.
But fear stood taller than the need,
And silence got the final lead.
We almost spoke. We almost stayed.
What stays is what we never said.

Verse 2
We never fought, we never lied—
Just watched the light begin to slide.
You waited for me, and I did too,
Hoping the other would break through.
Maybe we were two of a kind—
Good at silence, just a little blind.

Chorus
We almost said it, both of us—
A word, a touch, a wait for trust.
But fear stood taller than the need,
And silence got the final lead.
We almost spoke. We almost stayed.
What stays is what we never said.

Bridge
I don’t blame you. I don’t blame me.
We just played it safe too easily.
I hoped you'd reach, you thought I might—
It turns out we were both not right.

Final Chorus
We almost said it, both of us—
A word, a truth, a wait for trust.
But timing failed, and fear rang true,
And silence got the best of two.
We almost spoke. We almost stayed.
Is that what we were meant to say?

Still…
If you’re hearing this someday—
I wish I had somehow found a way.

We Almost Said is a quiet ache turned into song. It isn’t about what happened, but about what didn’t—the words that stayed locked behind teeth, the closeness that never bridged the small gap. It moves on hesitation, on pauses that became endings, on the way two people can hold the same yearning and still let it slip away.

It’s tender, not bitter. More sigh than shout. The refrain of “almost” is its heartbeat: love nearly spoken, closeness nearly claimed, a truth nearly shared. And in that space between, the song finds its power—not in explanation, but in what lingers unsaid.

We Almost Said

A folk ballad about moving through the cycles of depression while still holding on to hope.

The Merry Go

The deluxe edition of my sophomore album, Murphy's Law. We think this is the definitive way to listen to it. If you have the time, please put on some headphones or throw it on in the car and listen front to back. I promise it's a beautiful adventure.

Frith

Flower is a song by Amos Lee that always moved me because of how honest and simple it is. In this version, I wanted to keep that feeling but also make it my own.

I recorded it with acoustic guitar, harmonica, and organ — keeping it intimate and real. It’s not about copying, it’s about singing it from who I am.
Every word I sang believing what the song says: that love, even through fear or loneliness, is still a real force.
