about

A simple song, written in the beginning stages of the pandemic.

lyrics

When I sit down
to be with you
I just want to
walk away
petty voices
fill the room
before you can walk away

sometimes
I sit in silence
hoping you'll find me there
we can lock eyes
and know our heads
like those epiphanies seconds before bed

where do you
find the will to lock me out
demanding more
who are you pleasing
you seem so unhappy

When I lay down
and close my eyes
my shoulders don't relax
you have a friend
who gives her best
and carries you on her back

you'll find a way
to resurrect old desires
you don't even want
you don't even want
you are so unhappy
