about

This song is about the built momentum and the epiphany that you want to pursue a relationship with a friend.

This song has a funny story to it. I wrote the song and wanted to play it for her in person. It turns out we were both going to different parties at the same beach so I figured that was the best time to initiate the fairy tale ending. Long story short, we met up but she was just really enjoying her time with her friends that I didn't get a chance to pull her aside and I felt very out of place with her friends..I wasn't meeting anyone there and I didn't have the confidence to introduce myself to anyone. I didn't feel comfortable around them at all. I went back to my friends feeling defeated and showed them the song instead.

I wanted a very upbeat and summer sounding theme with this song. I also used a line from one of my favorite artists as a way to break the wall. I used to play his songs to the girl as well so this was my way of breaking down the "4th" wall and making that personal connection to that person through the reference and the song.

lyrics

So lets recall what we have been: good friends but not quite best friends And that’s okay, there’s room to grow and it’s fine because we agreed to take things slow
I’m sorry for thinking too much; I blame the hopeless romantic in me.

Sometimes I have no words to say.
Sometimes I’ll have a smirk on my face.
Cause Once in while, I get the feeling that you could change it all
I know it’s not my line but I can’t help but think

I found someone halfway around the world on opposite ends
I guess you can say I’m falling faster than ever before for you

For all the bad things in the past, we’ll do our best so they won’t come back; we’re growing

And when the time is right, we’ll walk under the moonlit night on Harbor Drive.

Let’s take slow steps cause we don’t want no regrets down our sleeves.
I like where we’re at someday we might just get back to what we used to be
