lyrics
What you want
What you need
What you love
Who you really are
If you dare
If you don’t
If you try
If you wanna cry
Oooo, there there
Seeing you, being two, facing one lost in motion
Barricade going up, coming down, your arm around my
bony shoulder, feeling young, buying time and bumming one from
You, there there
Ooo, there there
Cracking up, freaking out, staying in, losing every
Inch I’ve gained, angry tears, getting free, letting you see my
Ugly side that wants to come out throwing hands and fighting the world, with
You, there there
Ooo, there there
Unexplored, ignored particles of brain and heart
Resuscitate, CPR, care patience rage and making space
For who we really are, despite the world it led me to
You, there there
Ooo, there there
What you want
What you need
What you love
Who you really are
If you dare
If you don’t
If you try
If you wanna cry
ooo im there, ooo there there

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop

I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough
