about

First relationships with no playbook for how to handle the intense emotions, the impulse is either hold on too close or become distant. In its inception: fated, solid, unstoppable. Built upon a nonexistent framework it is destined for ruin. And yet it is a love song of hope, teetering in the balance of contradictions.

lyrics

I awoke to you at my window pane
You whispered 'come out quick' you'd try and explain
Sunk your teeth into my lips
Then into the night you slipped
Chasing you was a game
I was ready to play

I fell like a rock
You sunk like a stone
Drifting in a strange way
Went chasing the unknow

Found a patch of sky
Beneath the undertow
Drifting in a strange way
Went chasing the unknown
We are rock and stone

Summer dress hung from the sycamore tree
A trail of your voice, 'come follow me'
The sky opened up at the shore
You by moonlight and nothing more
I fell into deep, playing for keeps

I fell like a rock
You sunk like a stone
Drifting a strange way
Went chasing the unknown

I Found a patch of sky
Beneath the undertow
Drifting in a strange way
Chasing the unknown
We are rock and stone

We are rock and sone

A love letter written down your cheek
An open letter I was afraid to read

I fell like a rock (blood and sky)
you sunk like a stone (land and bone)
drifting in a strange way (found a place)
went chasing the unknow (felt like home)

Found a patch of sky (blood red sky)
beneath the undertow (land and bone)
drifting in a strange way (found a place)
Chasing the unknown (felt like home)

We are rock and stone
We are rock and stone
