about

This song is about getting out of your own way. This is the only song on the album that was produced by someone outside of the band, which is a first for us. Alex (our guitar player) and I worked with Courtney Ballard on this song back in Fall of 2018. We all wrote the instrumental one day at his studio and then I took it home and wrote the lyrics & melodies. The goal with this song was to write our version of ‘Just Like Heaven’ by The Cure. It came out super different, but I always find it interesting where a song starts.

lyrics

i can't do it on my own but i try
lose my faith
can't get my blood to rise
i'm guilty of the four walls i built deeper than wide and skip the funeral
just have a night
save your eyes
stare into the light
can you leave yourself behind?
can you leave?
can you leave yourself behind?
i can't tell when i'm on either side
push it down
just to feel alright
i thought if i could keep it all intertwined
maybe we could drop the rope and watch it unwind
save your eyes
stare into the light
can you leave yourself behind?
can you leave?
can you leave yourself behind?
we've already wasted so much time
so lose your grip
and dive into the night
can you leave yourself behind? (so lose your grip)
can you leave yourself behind? (so lose your grip)
can you leave?
(so lose your grip)
can you leave yourself behind?
