about

This song was born quickly. It flew out with only a little effort and struck a deep chord. It’s got themes I’ve touched on in many songs before, but it still felt that it had a place all its own and needed to be shared. We have all felt defeated by inner struggles with ourselves, and we all have our vices to cope and avoid the harder work of reconciling our thoughts and our hearts. This song is there to reassure others that they’re not alone in those battles. And that it’s possible to heal wounds by looking within and giving care and love to ourselves even in the hardest moments.

lyrics

I just need more money, pay my blues away
Then maybe I’d be okay

I just need more light, light up every night
And I won’t need to sleep

You can’t count on a shooting star to fly across the night sky
It may never come for you
But you can look inside, look deep in at the ugly
And maybe you could befriend the enemy

I just need some helium, swallow it down
And float away from everyone

I just need more stuff, maybe in time
Enough could be enough

You can’t count on a shooting star to fly across the night sky
It may never come for you
But you can look inside, look deep in at the ugly
And maybe you could befriend the enemy
Befriend the enemy
