about

This single is part of my upcoming debut album, Wake. I wrote this song in a moment of grief wanting to remember, and honor, the spirit and laughter of a loved one.

lyrics

I like to imagine you with green in your teeth
Big belly-laughing cause you hated how it tasted
Stitches in our sides with ornaments crafted with care
And every Christmas, we are grateful you are with us, cause

Breathing is easy, when you know someone loves you

You met my first girlfriend several times and it went fine
And at my recital, every note I sang I sang for you, cause

Breathing is easy, when you know someone loves you

Well the fake fish in the bathroom won't go belly-up
If you stop feeding them and showing up
But I'm not made of plastic, and when the darkness comes
I'll be there
To welcome the sun

I'm trying to make an ornament, but keep pricking my thumbs
I'm making a big one, so you can't leave this earth 'til it's done, cause

Breathing is easy, when you know someone loves you
Breathing is easy, when you know someone loves you
Breathing is easy, when you know someone loves you

No, I'm not made of plastic, and when the darkness comes
I'll be there
To welcome the sun
