A song about a whirlwind romance ini my early 20s with a guy I met who was riding his bike around the world! WHOOSH. What a dream.
At our Absinthe party potluck
You brought broccoli
And Mac and cheese
its like you were speaking straight to me
and i knew
We had just met at the cafe
You were looking for a boat
to take to Europe
And I wasn’t a boat to take to Europe
But I liked you
It was
just like a dream
No clouds-all stars
You were
So fine to me
And before I knew
When we were kissin’ in the backyard
We locked your bike up to my fence
And we smoked
hand rolled cigarettes
and it was cold
But you sat close
And it was good
You draped your arm around my shoulder
It felt warm
And I felt older
and when we danced to M.I.A
I understood
It was
just like a dream
No clouds-Just stars
You were
So fine to me
And before I knew
we were kissin’ in the backyard
And when You told my cat
you spoke her language
I fell head over heels
And I knew it couldn’t last forever
But It was twenty something
Magic on wheels
You spent your last night
On my futon
Kissed you goodbye with your helmet on
And you went off to
Pedal around the world
And when you think about Virginia
I wonder do you still remember
That perfect week
When I got to be your girl

Across all of your songs this month, I love how specific and quirky your details are. "And I wasn’t a boat to take to Europe" is brilliant and made me smile. (Also "It felt warm/ And I felt older") Love the last line of the chorus and how you sing it, and the bridge.

Such amazing storytelling! I really enjoyed the background vocals. Some of the lyrics that stood out - fence/cigarettes, twenty something magic on wheels, and the last line was soooo good.

You are so very good at making catchy lyrics. Ooh that shoop part is so perfect. I love how you create vibes on each song of yours. Your mixing is so perfect as well. You have easily become one of our faves this year. -Ru
