about

I wrote this song when I was 14 about all the feelings I was having. It's a coming of age serenade based wholly on my imaginary understanding of love. It was written in part to address the object of my affection at the time, and in part to address myself as I contemplated the future loss of my innocence. I told myself that one day I would learn to produce this. It took years, but here it is. I recorded many of the synthesizer elements using the Prophet 12 poly synth, which is one of my all-time favorites.

lyrics

I've known you for a long time now
Suddenly I got to thinking wow
You kinda grew up before my eyes
I almost didn't recognize
The same little boy I knew before
You got something big now that I couldn't ignore
People knew it was true, could easily see
You were doing the crazy stuff to me

Run away baby, run away before it's too late tonight
Look what I've done, just turn and run, broken that child

They say passion is crazy and lust is a sin
We're young and immortal until we give in
I should have seen how young and fragile you were
Things would have been different then I'm sure
But you had no idea, you're young and naive
You grasp onto rainbows and try to believe
They'll take you wherever you're wanting to go

You wish on a star thinking dream will come true
No distance too far if I can be there with you
I should have seen it cuz everyone knew
I wouldn't be here telling you to

Run away baby, run away before it's too late tonight
Look what I've done, just turn and run, broken that child
