about

This track was Schultz’s first original song, written nearly 10 years before all of the other tracks on the record. Intensely emotional lyrics detail the bittersweet recognition that our expectations of love will always portray reality in a more rose-colored light than the way things are. While this fooling-oneself is required to fall in love, it is this very delusion that makes it so painful to fall out of love.

lyrics

What if I was just another wave?
And you are just another beach to break on?
One you walk along for days, love
And still you’ll never make it to where you’re going

I wanna know, have you seen the light?
Hiding in the grass, waiting for the night

Let me down

What if I was just another face?
And were just another meal to swallow
Now, I’ve infiltrated your base, love
Now, it doesn’t feel so nearly as hollow
I’ve often wondered how often you space aged it, emaciated like you actually felt the pain
Hardly ever hear what came that night

Let me down

Loosening
Your grip around my neck
Half the time
I wish I would confess

Let me down
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!
