about

This song is lyrically very special to me. I wrote this one before we recorded it so that the melody would stand on its own and work in really well with the production. It's about the way you feel when you want to give someone more but, because of one thing or another, you can't really get ahold of yourself and just let them in. Beautiful strings plus a very cool beat after the first chorus, and there it is. The epic fuzz tone toward the end comes from the MXR Sub Machine- a double octave fuzz.

lyrics

Never been the type of girl that’d give her soul to the world

Never had a reason to before I had you

Paid the price in the past, so many loves that didn't last

Tryin'a own up to my feelings face to face



I'm not weak, but you made me stronger

I'm not cold, but you keep me warm

I'm not lost, but you give me purpose

Finally you can make me whole, change my world tonight



Getting tired of this static heart

To let you in is the hardest part

You're the light and I'm in the dark

Say goodbye to my static heart (2x)



Your love’s the reason that I'm here,

I haven't chased myself away

You give me words for all the things I thought that I could never say

I know I'm hard to understand, you know I'm standing on the edge

See the colors start to fade, and just the two of us remain



I'm not weak, but you made me stronger

I'm not cold, but you keep me warm

I'm not lost, but you give me purpose

Finally you can make me whole, change my world tonight



Getting tired of this static heart

To let you in is the hardest part

You're the light and I'm in the dark

Say goodbye to my static heart



Getting tired of this static heart

To let you in is the hardest part

Take my hand, we can hit restart

Say goodbye to my static heart (2x)
