about

This song is about existence and the idea that we didn't choose to be here, but alas, we are. I love life, but sometimes I hate it, and this is about that back and forth. I'm talking to myself, to the universe, to other people.

lyrics

Eventually, you will catch up to me.
Everything I see and all that I believe
is conditioned by a hand that wears no ring.
We didn't agree to a wedding.

An invisible force binds me to you -
a tie I cannot sever I don't know what to do.
I'm conditioned by a hand that wears no ring.
I didn't agree to a wedding.

And just by being born I signed a lifelong contract
to accept the things out of my control even when my heart's attacked.
And I don't know if you know what I know,
but we're all in the same, oh, the same big fucking boat.
And I don't want to drown today,
but I understand that there are a hell of a lot of waves.
(And you're the ocean.)
And there's nothing that I can do.
(You are the sea.)
I can't swim away from you.

You pull me under.
(You asked for my hand, and I said I would think about it.)
And I love it.
(You asked for my hand. You dragged me, pulled me. Now I'm drowning.)
You pull me under.
(You asked for my hand, and I didn't know that I could fight it.)
And I love it.
(You asked for my hand. I said I would think about it!)

Because you said you're looking for the big one -
the big love.
So can we skip a few steps?
Are you still learning how to run?

Because you said you're looking for the big one -
the big love.
So can we skip a few steps
or are you still learning how to run?

You said you're looking for the big one!
Can we skip a few steps?
Are you still learning how to run?

And eventually you will catch up to me,
but you won't be all that I see nor all I believe
because I am not naive.
