about

WARNING: Biblical, aquatic, love raps are what I'm all about on this song. If iTunes was where we all had our first dates, I think we would save a lot of time. Taste is so telling, it's like vibrational tarot reading. So when I say rendezvous it's a calling back to my version of mind sex. This song wrote me till the sun came up. It's a naked innocence we forget to tap into after love becomes like breathing, we forget we are doing it. Sometimes the one you love needs to know they are your water, your vital, or that they are just needed I wrote it around 3 am when I was making a birthday mix for a friend and I couldn’t stop writing. As I was blending Don’t Run Into The Dark so Quick by Jon Bap and my love was asleep in the next room I wanted to write her a lullaby to live to. Thank you Zeroh for being the first person to want to mix this song and Low Leaf for creating the most beautiful harp sounds to bring this track to life.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wrote these lyrics in the dark
scribbled on my sleeve
meaning from the heart
now I’m sitting in a park
mentally in park
I just every single part to be like that's my favorite part

wipe the sleep from your third eye
whispering good morning to your sunrise
and we the sun dies
we love like
we bout to talk until our phones die

this Sunday I’ll skydive
and paint the sky tie dye
on the first, try
like tada
oh your not impressed?
that's a stupid magic trick
when all you need is trust
all you want is us
But you don’t need a song
you don’t need a poem
you’d rather have it shown
you’d rather have me home
rather look you in the eye
than be looking @ my phone

from brainstorm to a typhoon
way back like haiku back in high school
me and you rendezvous in your iTunes
my mind is a window and I just hope you climb through

she was the drugs and the pharmacist
blessings and sinus’
thee plus’ and the minus’
rewinding this
reminding us
but don forget just how fine you is
girl
you mess my grammar up
even thee
analyze
thee analyst
they mad at us
count on me like an abacus
time couldn’t measure the span of us
I’m just trying 2 Lazarus thee last of us
....

CHORUS:
Baptize me in your vibe, please
you're all I need
and I can't
breathe w/o ya
you're my water
my water
my water............
