about

This song is also about Alida, although it's more about the first month or so of our relationship, and how confusing it is to love someone for the first time.

This was the first time I dabbled in any electric-y styles, and that should explain the somewhat macabre approach to the song.

The high pitched voice towards the end of the track is an exert of Biff's monologue from 'Death Of A Salesman.' I just find the monologue to be incredibly moving, and I'm not the only one, as this monologue also happens to be used in the song 'Say Nothing' by Grandview.

lyrics

anxiously I hold my breath
carefully I kiss your neck
I'd only do this for you

beautifully you let it slip
trembling I bite your lip
you say "I'd do anything for you"

(I call to say I called, so when you're gone I'll think about you)

tenderly you graze my skin
cautiously I let you in
I'd only do this for you

It matters to me if it matters to you so if you want to run I'm running too

I'll keep you from harm
I'll never go far
