How can it be that I’m doing this thing without you? How can it be that I’m out here on my own? How can it be that we’re pulling apart at the seams? How will we ever make it on our own? How will it feel when the sun can truly kiss me? How will it feel when the air I breathe is cool? How will it feel when I hold your hand in my palm? How will it feel when you lips they touch my fruit?

Seasons 03:07
Look at me, look at me now Sun rises and sets somehow Places changes, people come and go Summer sun, winter snow Tell me now, say it softly now All these changs won’t change us anyhow Fall will drop its leaves, spring will help us bloom All I really need are these seasons of loving you
3.
Make me a quiet place to lay My head, I need some rest today Verse 1 You say “come here and lay your head on my chest, Days can be weary, it’s time to take a rest.” I close my eyes, drift to peace. Verse 2 In my dreaming state I see you stand by my side We stand there holding hands, watching the world go by, This is peace, you and me.
4.
Sometimes I think about you And I ask myself “what would he do?” Memories fade from my mind All I remember was you slept all the time On couches On beds You always said that you’d sleep when you’re dead In loungers In cars Covered in blankets you slept for hours You slept for hours Sometimes I think about you Most of the time not but that’s what time’ll do Trying to not feel so sad You’d think it’s worthless You’d wanna joke instead With punchlines With pranks Something to make all the crowds laugh the same With stories we’ll tell for years Sometimes those stories make me feel you’re near I feel you near
5.
The sun sets And we rest I fold into you again This is bliss Skin to skin Your hands on my lips Let it stay Forever this way Forever this way Forever this way Let it stay Forever this way

about

"Let It Stay" is a genre-defying work that juxtaposes closeness and longing through both lyric and sound. Self-produced and primarily recorded at home with engineer Justin Muffett, the songs take you on a sonic journey from chaos to calm, and ask questions about longing, losing and loving amidst the uncertainty of life.
