about

a melancholy little ukulele song about hope and bewildering loss, and learning where to go from there.

i hope you enjoy!

lyrics

i swam all the way to your little island

you said you were lonely, that i was a godsend

little did i know, oh, little did i know

i stole you the moon to show you i listened

you said it was perfect, just how you envisioned

and you made me glow, oh, and you made me glow

it was so easy,

when we were young and unafraid

together, we’re everything

we two are one and the same

i’m never alone, and you know

the right things to say

how i am feeling

you send me reeling

i’ll always stay.

we built us a boat to flee paradise

you said it’s unfinished, but you told a lie

and i didn’t know, oh, i didn’t know

i woke up to see you sailing away

you said you were sorry, but you couldn’t stay

and i was alone, oh, i was alone

and it was so easy, when we were young and unafraid

thought you knew everything

and i was never one to blame

but i am alone, on my own

with no way to say

how i am feeling,

you left me reeling

and i still stayed.

how i am feeling,

i need some healing

from this getaway.
