about

I began writing this one after my 20th birthday and finished it after my 24th, a song about aging with grace and facing the fears surrounding young adulthood.

Thank you to mom, Lizzie, Rachel, Hind, and Munir for listening to this one through all its developmental stages.

lyrics

revel in the moments that you’re dealt
i’ve never felt more in love with
being young
taste the bitter sweetness on my tongue
i don’t want to watch the lines grow on my face

and i’m so tired of this fountain but i’ll wade a little longer
don’t think i’ll climb that mountain can i wait till i get stronger
my bones are getting older again

blow out the candles
but hold onto that spark
as the summer sun sets
feel that kick inside my heart
and you should blow out the candles
but hold onto that flame
as another sun sets
will the kick inside remain
getting caught up in the soft embrace
of these fading summer nights
these fated summer nights

revel in the moments that we’re dealt
have you ever quite felt so in love with being young?
soak the bitter sweetness in the sun
dont you wanna watch the tides roll away

for the days you’re feeling something you can’t explain
and all you want is to wash it all away
but let the solstice sun keep fanning the flame

oh oh

blow out the candles
but hold onto that spark
as the summer sun sets
feel that kick inside my heart
oh oh
and you should blow out the candles
but hold onto the flame
as another sun sets
will the kick inside remain
getting caught up in the soft embrace
of these fading summer nights
these fated/faded summer nights

oh oh

and i revel in the moments that i’m dealt
i’ve never quite felt more in love
with being young
