about

I wrote this song shortly before Valentine's Day in 2016 as both a means to express my feelingss towards a new romantic interest as well as a bit of humorous self-flection on my own inability to express these emotions verbally outside of music. Love is one of the most beautiful emotions that human beings are capable of feeling, and often times it is an emotion far too powerful to put into words. This song is dedicated to anyone who suffers from anxiety, depression, or who simply has trouble verbalizing their emotions to the ones they care for most.

lyrics

I was reeling through the air when I stepped into that room
Then my eyes locked to your gaze and I felt my body swoon
And your eyes were burning bright, shining like the ocean in the moonlight
But my mouth was running dry, I couldn’t find the words to even say “hi”

What the hell is wrong with me, when I can’t even feel my tongue against my teeth?
I need to find somewhere to hide, grab my guitar, let the anxiety subside
I swear that I’ll be alright soon, this only happens to me every time I swoon

It’s like I’m paralyzed by your beauty and your grace
And it might be kinda cute if I could only move my face
And my mind is screaming loud, “Say something, say something,
Say something, just say something now”
So I try to force words out, but they’re cut off by my nausea
From crippling self-doubt

What the hell is wrong with me, when I can’t even feel my tongue against my teeth?
I need to find somewhere to hide, grab my guitar, let the anxiety subside
I swear that I’ll be alright soon, this only happens to me every time I--

Swoon for you, I know you cast a spell on me
And I’m begging to break free… or maybe
Spoon with you, why won’t you break your hold on me
I’m begging darling, please just set me free

What the hell is wrong with me, when I can’t even feel my tongue against my teeth?
I need to find somewhere to hide, grab my guitar, let the anxiety subside
My motor functions have gone awry, turn into an infant, start to crawl and cry
I swear that I’ll be alright soon, this only happens to me every time I swoon
