about

A song about the bargain we occasionally daydream about making, where we get what we want right now, and let tomorrow worry about boring things like morals and integrity.

Recorded in a dorm room in Amherst, MA

lyrics

If I could lose myself in you, in your sweet perfume,
Don’t you think I’d give my world...to be inside your room?
And if it meant I lost all that makes me shimmer,
If that was the cost…
I’d let my soul grow slimmer, let my mind grow dimmer
I’d let my tone erode, until the rust snapped with the load.

And I would say let my spirit go.
And I would say let my spirit roll…
And let tomorrow save my soul.

And if you said my sweetness was a song that I could cease…
Don’t you think I’d curdle sour, fill my mind with mortal grease.
If all my colorblindness, was just a lack of hue,
I’d scream until my eyes turned blue.
And I would lose myself in you, I have seen it coming true,
And I know myself well enough by now to know...
Just how strong I am.

I love myself in tears sometimes, but what good does it get me?
I lose myself in fears sometimes, that you could just forget me.
I lost myself in Saturn...but you’re on the other side,
And I would be a monster if you gave me a place to hide in
I would gladly play that role...and let tomorrow save my soul.
