2A: Solace 03:00
The further we intertwine The stronger the ties that bind The more pain that’s caused when we separate Each day another step up the ladder Each day choosing up ‘cause we’d rather Now a fall from here would seal our fate I don’t know what to do baby Seems to me just like lose-lose maybe Things would be a little better if I’m on my own ‘Cause each day your life becomes mine and Each day marks the ticking time Mostly I feel like it’s just too late Where else would I now be If we’d chosen differently I can’t help feel like we’re two mistakes I don’t know what to do baby I’ve never felt so untrue until lately And I still can’t shake this feeling that I’d be better on my own I don’t know what to do baby Seems to me just like lose-lose cause maybe Things would be a little better if we’re on our own See I’m used to running away from all my problems But it’s running late for running if I don’t want to solve em And if I run away and just let us dissolve it Would leave a hole in my heart the size of you I don’t know what to do baby I’ve lost track of what’s for me and what’s for you And I still can’t shake this feelin’ And I still can’t shake this feelin’ I still can’t shake this feelin’

I just want your touch To have that meaning ‘Cause our love is a being And time is for healing I just want your touch To have that meaning ‘Cause our love is a being And time is for healing I don’t want this love to fade over time Can’t go on that way Living at arm’s length I don’t want this love to fade over time I can’t go on that way Living at arm’s length Can’t go on that way Can’t go on that way I just want your touch To have that meaning ‘Cause our love is a being And time is for healing I just want your touch To have that meaning ‘Cause our love is a being And time is for healing You say it’s not enough That it’s the same way ‘Cause it doesn’t feel that way The internal outweighs Our real bodies Lost in translation Feeling the displacement And this lack of patience A sensible abrasion Rubs you wrong I just want your touch To have that meaning ‘Cause our love is a being And time is for healing I just want your touch To have that meaning ‘Cause our love is a being And time is for healing I just want your touch To have that meaning ‘Cause our love is a being And time is for healing I just want your touch And time is for healing I just want your touch And time is for healing Don’t want this love to fade Don’t let this love fade away Don’t want this love to fade

about

Dallas --> Toronto
Release 2 of 2 on Toast Toast Recordings.

Solace is a song written about having doubts and reservations in a relationship that doesn't seem to be progressing naturally. It’s not atypical, feeling like our partners or our current life situation could be less than ideal, or could even holding us back in life. I wrote this song when I was in such a relationship to capture my feelings. It's a song about longing, heartbreak, loss, and introspection.

Don’t Fade is about a love that leaves you wanting more. Wishing that things could just stay the same, that you could bottle up the feeling and save it to cherish forever. Change is inevitable, but we as people constantly fight to hold on to what is uplifting.
