about

What would it be like if social distancing were over tomorrow? A few months ago, as all this started, I imagined the feeling from my balcony, and recognized a collective longing. I also wanted to write a song that featured kombucha in it, in honor of my room mate, Brandon, who brews it awesomely!

lyrics

Breathe in
it tastes so good
your perfume and the flowers
Nature's waiting womb

How can it be
that we take
so long
to appreciate?

Breathe in
we're going out
we're getting out of here
put on your nailpolish

We're going downtown
to the mountain
we waited so long, so long, so long
feels like it's been a year

We crave the parks
floating and spinning fountains
set out with weed, greens, and ice-cold lemonade
we'll skate there, we'll run there, we'll find a way

Your head hangs
in the forest garlands
holding hands together
for the fugue
Meet you
in the afterglow
we'll go, we'll go, we'll go
making love beneath the moon

We crave the parks
floating and spinning fountains
set out with weed, greens, and ice-cold lemonade
I'll skate there, I'll run there, I'll find a way

We crave the parks
floating and spinning fountains
a picnic with kombucha
set out with weeds, greens, and ice-cold lemonade
I'll see you there

We crave the sun
floating and spinning fountains
set out with weed, greens, and ice-cold lemonade
I'll skate there, I'll run there, I'll fly there, I'll find a way
I'll find a way
