about

I wrote this song in between our final recording sessions in Seattle. I had told my partner, Cat, that I wouldn't be able to talk on the phone at all because I wanted to focus every ounce of my attention on the studio. I decided amidst my long absence and distancing that she deserved a song for her patience with me. It's about this wedding we went to in my home town in Iowa. My best friend got married, we got drunk, fiery and ended the night going home to my mom's house separately. I insisted on walking home alone, wandering the streets in the rain with my shirt completely unbuttoned.

lyrics

I’ve got a head rush, go on and burn me up
And I’m feeling alright, go on and hold me ‘til I cry
‘Cause I’ve been walking all night
drinking alone in the street with my shirt undone
And I’ve got a headrush, go on and burn me up

Well I’ve come undone but thank God for the safety of love
And what can I do but let these ghosts fly

Oh you are the sun to these fine days
And you are the sweetness of my ways
And if it was mine to give I’d give it all away

I’m struck by the the way you still like me when I am crazed
I’m holding your head like a river bed
and there’s something that makes you cry everyday

Oh you are the sun to these fine days
And you are the sweetness of my ways
And if it was mine to give I’d give it all away

Oh you are the sweetness of my ways
Oh you are the sweetness of my ways
Well I’ve got a head rush, go on and make me blush
Baby hold me like you used to
Oh baby hold me like you used to
