about

A song that wrote itself on a morning train back to Washington Heights, NY and a week later in Pittsburgh, PA during the Meridian / Pinch Hitter tour in May of 2015.

lyrics

We talk a lot about chemicals and how we're both so easily affected. Hearts like humming amplifiers with the gain turned up. I examine your living room. You read me poems in the kitchen. You ask me what the light symbolized. I said, "it could be the truth, or really anything."

You don't get to decide how someone feels about you, but you can spin it a little bit. Maybe the purest motive is to say that I just want what I want. I just want what I want. I haven't given it too much thought yet. I just want what I want.

We talk a lot about solitude and how easy it is to feel alone here. Ask me if I still like all the same bands that I used to - well, of course I do. Now I'm a train passenger, powerless. Steady shaking off the sugar and the sleeplessness. Lips numb with the knowledge that I laid it out the best I could.

You don't get to pretend that you spent less time than you did waiting on a windfall. Does it all have to be so heavy? Baby, I just want what I want. I just want what I want. I haven't given it too much thought yet. I just want what I -

There is a heat rising off every word. Voices resounding sound like nothing I've ever heard. I will no longer bite my tongue for getting good at being young.

We talk a lot about distance and where we'd be if it weren't for where we were now.
