Guest vocals by Talor Smith

lyrics

Someplace between caution and joy, I'm trying to accept your love

Or this feeling, this explorative gamble
that exists at the mercy of our summer months

This front of falling backwards to whim and mercy,
though our bodies tense up on the way down
Our muscles
lock
and
brace when
heart
and
brain
fall two steps behind

You said “It never comes that easy”
But it’s not this complex thing that you create in your brain
Like a fortunate tourist in this landscape you’re painting
As if to ask me, “have you ever let yourself bend to whim and mercy?”

My love is plenty and deficient all at once.
When time and circumstance add up and it's not enough
And feelings stubbornly refuse to subscribe to foolish misconceptions of blind faith in sight.

Falling backwards
Muscles tensing
Words feel heavy
And you look at me, as if to say:

“Just leave your doubts out by the doorway
It's not this complex thing like you create in your brain”
A fortunate tourist in this space you've created
It's only temporary until the moments pass
and my arms feel the weight
of this joy inhibited we can't shake.

It's a point that exists between fleeting and fixed
Undefined, ambiguous
How do I let you let me in
and block out the song of the cardinals in
my mind projecting this scene of affection
How do I detach and phase unaffected?

Somewhere above reason and doubt, is a place where we can breathe,
let ourselves be.
Learn to exhale without fear of failing.
You put your heart on your sleeve and it wears me too; but it's okay.
It's only temporary when you hold your breath
as if to say…

A fortunate tourist in this space we've created
It's only temporary until my arms feel the weight
of this joy inhibited...
