about

This song exposes my weaknesses. Simply put, I am human, and so are you. I felt sensitive the whole time I was recording “Paper Plain” and didn’t know why I was even writing the song. But sometimes, hard is good; exposure is light.

I hope this song can allow you to sit with the parts of yourself that are uncomfortable too.

lyrics

I noticed you. I'm not supposed to. I noticed you. I'll be
honest, I don't know what to say. Am I searching for the
right words to play? In this game that we fight, it's unfair,
you unwrite. Am I crazy or just plain unaware? I feel un-
heard, I can barely hear myself. I noticed you. I'm not
supposed to. I noticed you. Old and re-sent letters scatter
floors unanswered. Fill the glass in my face, my heart with
thin paper. Throw the tree in the river, it won't fit in a bucket.
This gift, this will win her. This love, yes I want it. I feel un-
heard, I can barely hear myself. I pray. I wait. I listen. I wait.
I pray.
