about

Pulling Away is about the grief of indirectness. When someone stops looking at you the way they did before… when you know something has changed for them but they haven’t said anything directly. It’s painful, it’s torture! And there is nothing you can do but let go of the dreams of togetherness you had so delicately cradled.

lyrics

maybe I’ll always be in love with you
I bat away thoughts of your smile
like ping pong balls in the kitchen

there you are in the coffee grinds and spoons
I’m rinsing you round the drain

You’re in the notes she sings
wind flutters through the leaves
And when I dance
I pretend you’re watching me

I like seeing your name
spelled out in my head
I don’t enable myself except a
Little wordplay now and then

Letters whispered silently on my lips
like a transparent balloon behind me in the wind

I make new memories with you by accident
When I think of what you’d say or what you meant
How you’d squeeze my hand
or argue and then
then look at me again

I know that you’re not there
And yet
there you are
My imaginary friend
on my living room floor.
