about

This is a love song for the selfless.

lyrics

You can light up a room in a heartbeat with a heartfelt smile
Who can deny to you an eyeroll and an I heart you?

Find time at the end of your life for the selfishness that you deserve.
You can try mine, you know it’s nice, and the light will shine back from the world.

Because you’re bright overhead that never burns out
And the nights when I’m in bed, damned but not in doubt.
And I’ve acclimatized to the life that you provide
And I could never go without

Freeze frame on whose face to blame it’s pictures and pictures of you
For my happiness, who I miss. I insist, I insist it’s you

Because you’re the kite flying in the wind without a string
tethered to the earth by a love for everything.
And I’ve acclimatized to the life that you provide
and I could never do anything.

Make me a place in the heart that lights up a room with a beat.
I’ll break pace and make space in mine like you did for me

Because you’re the sweet tooth, honey in the mouth
and the hard truth and money on account.
And I’ve acclimatized to the life that you provide
and I could never go without.
No I could never go without.
I could never go without.
