about

This song is about learning to love someone or yourself in a way that embraces the weird, ugly, or uncool parts. It's about letting go of the idea of perfection because the messy bits are what make life worth living in the end.

It's the final single from my upcoming EP, 'Lake Song'.

lyrics

LYRICS
I gotta be honest
I’m prone to making promises
That I can never keep

I’m a little bit too much
Like a character in a musical
Who is dying but still sings

Oh well here I am just rambling on
All our friends are gone but if you’re okay
We might as well just stay
Hey

Remember that party?
The opening of that boutique
We snuck away to the fitting room

What did we think?
They would never catch us?
It was ten of them and me and you

I try hard to lead with honesty
After all this time don’t you think it’s right
We might as well get married

I’m not fresh
I’m not clean
I come totally undone once a week
You over test
You can be mean
You are honest even when you shouldn’t be
I bet my money that it’s all worth it
Even though it’s not perfect
This time I swear it’s not a lie
I’m not fresh
You come clean
You say you never needed much
But in the end you might just end up needing me

There is an old oak tree
In the yard behind us
It split in half in the middle of a storm

I tried to play it cool
But the crash scared me half to death
Least you were there to keep me warm

I get nervous that you’re getting bored
I softly close the door
Then I go to sleep and you’re right next to me

I’m not fresh
I’m not clean
I come totally undone once a week
You over test
You can be mean
You are honest even when you shouldn’t be
I bet my money that it’s all worth it
Even though it’s not perfect
This time I swear it’s not a lie
I’m not fresh
You come clean
You say you never needed much
But in the end you might just end up needing me

You say you never needed much
But in the end you might just end up needing me
