about

I wanted to write something happy! And tried to catch that feeling when you first meet someone you know is going to change your life in some way.
It's about feeling young and running around after dark like you're being mischievous, about social norms & gender roles (the rules/roles don't apply when it feels right...) and how people can be many things at once, and that is such a beautiful thing to be.

lyrics

They say a friend to all is a friend to none, but we’ve been having so much fun
I can’t deny the way I feel.
We could do the maths and let the numbers divide us,
Patter’s too good to let others define us.
Maybe it’s just a fling, but I like this thing.

Spray together misbehave in the moonlight
Laugh together as we dance under streetlight
Happened fast but man we got so tight
I guess the rules don’t apply when it feels right.
Can’t explain I hope it makes sense in hindsight
We sparked up this poor man’s dynamite
So be my Cali girl and I’ll be your brave knight
Guess the rules don’t apply when it feels right.

Looking into your eyes was like looking into mine
I’m not afraid ‘cause it’s different this time
As they turn from green to blue.
Breathing you in, you’ve got me up in the wee hours
Growing our feelings like a couple of wildflowers
So even if this world’s demonic, maybe this is just the tonic?
