about

"From a Seattle basement with a 5 foot ceiling (that we couldn't stand up in), to the top of a giant beach rock (with our laptops in Cannon Beach Oregon), and finally ending in a chaotic Hollywood getaway this song has travelled with Alter. and I throughout this year of self discovery." - guesst. "It's A self love story about clear communication, safe intentions and healthy boundaries. The production uses pop punk guitars, and R&B aesthetics from artists like Aries, K.Flay, and Julia Wolf."

lyrics

LYRICS //
my ex said i need therapy
so i wrote an album
i don't think she'd count it

blink twice new friends, old memories
boundaries im about it
lets fucking talk about it

layers i trade in the space in between
all the lines of the blankets the pillows
your cat by the window
spoke softly
your safe here
i gotchu
just tell me and i'll listen love

shut up
start talking
open my heart for you to see
honest, unguarded
i know you and you know me

shut up
start talking
open my heart for you to see
honest, unguarded
i know you and you know me

my ex said i need therapy
so i ran a thousand
fucking miles away to cali

i guess(t) i crave transparency
naked in the shower
learning how to self empower

no longer mumbling when you ask my name
i'm open now
i'm done with trying to pretend
i'm not chokin now
open the door to let you in

i'm out of my head now
i speak from my soul
learning to let go
don't let the fear drive me home
i'm out of my head now
i'm letting you know
you know, you know

shut up
start talking
open my heart for you to see
honest, unguarded
i know you and you know me

shut up
start talking
open my heart for you to see
honest, unguarded
i know you and you know me

know me, know me
i know you and you know me
you know me, you know me
i know you and you know me

shut up start, start talking
shut up start, start talking
(i will always let you know)
shut up start, start talking
shut up start, start talking

(no but for real tho, we all need to go to therapy)
