about

A song I wrote when I was 15 and recently rediscovered. For a breakdown of the production of the soundscape, head over to my youtube channel!

lyrics

In my headlights raindrops are falling

Like sky tears spun in a swirl.

And thoughts in my head form a whirlpool,

Sluicing so I’ll feel their pull.

You said in the spring I was your pearl,

I was certain you were my love,

But the world goes ‘round like wheels go ‘round. . .

Now we don't fit at all

And my heart hurts and I keep tearing;

Do I cry for dreams all flown?

For feeling thrown out? Am I fearing

Without you I’d sink like a stone?



Yet this wheel in my hands is steering,

Steering me far off from you. . .

And tires in the rain, jeering,

They're mocking my want of you.




These miles melt away like our whispers,

Promises we would stay true. . .


Figured some day would turn blue,



You’re in my mirror, babe; I can’t complain:

Loving’s not loss; always we gain.

But why can’t wipers clear tears like the rain?

Why can’t these wheels outrun this pain?




Life is wheels within wheels, ever turning,

A gyre on a merry-go-round.

You know those brass rings?—well, I’m learning

They pop up as I’m slipping down.

Yeah, been spinning my wheels bad and yearning,

I need now to find solid ground,

Flush out the chagrin inside, burning,

Start fresh wherever I’m bound.




Still this wheel in my hands is steering,

Steering me far off from you. . .

Tires in the rain, jeering

Still mocking my want of you.

of you

of you
