ABOUT THIS SONG
This is the first collaboration between DJ Stanfill (Opia, Leon Bridges) and me. We recorded it in my studio in East Nashville.
LYRICS
Caught in the morning low
Lost in a coffee cup reflection
Pulled by the undertow
An infinite map with no directions
And people say there’s a reason
Why everything fades away
A story book happy ending
To guide us through times of change
And at first I didn’t wanna believe it
Til I was staring at it face to face
Now looking through your eyes I see it
The world is such a beautiful place
We stopped on an empty street
Poplar and maple leaves around us
Life is the little things
In between everything we plan on
Like flower beds in desert sands
You water them and life will find a way
There’s magic in the ground you say
And all it needs to show is just a little rain
And people say there’s a reason
Why everything fades away
A story book happy ending
To guide us through times of change
And at first I didn’t wanna believe it
Til I was staring at it face to face
Now looking through your eyes I see it
The world is such a beautiful place

A grassroots community of supporters like those at Bandcamp help keep the lights on in Aaron’s studio, but also (and more importantly) you will encourage Aaron that what he’s doing is making a difference and that you believe in his music.
