From the recording Celebration
Mackenzie Kristjon -vocals, guitar, piano
Andrew McPherson -treatments
One funny thing about this song is that my mom helped with some of the words. She pulled out her thesaurus and she may have come up with the title. I don't really remember. Andrew came up with some interesting production ideas. For me, I had written the song like maybe the day before and had no idea what the song was about yet.
Lyrics
Star-crossed and starry-eyed
Humbled and full of pride
Hapless, hopeless indecision
Tell yourself it’s television
And that it’s all in your mind
Take this now baby and you will only lose your mind
Give it up now it’s you and me cheating death
Live it up now ‘cause there’s no time for rest
Close your eyes and let yourself taste success
Rip my heart out tear it all open
Fall apart and leave yourself broken
I believe that the future is golden
And I don’t even know your name
And I don’t even know your name
And I don’t even know your name
Gumdrops and pouring rain
Will things ever be the same?
Life’s let loose in front of me
Love’s like truth inside of me
And I tell myself it’s all in my mind
Drink this down baby and you will only lose your mind
Give it up now it’s you and me cheating death
Live it up now ‘cause there’s no time for rest
Close your eyes and let yourself feel impressed
I’ve seen your fingertips straying
Make-up, shake-up, whatever you’re playing
I can hear it whatever you’re saying
Fake it, take it, stop your complaining
And I don’t even know your name
And I don’t even know your name
