about

Written immediately after a bout of anxious dry heaving, “Dry Heave” is about chasing dreams, and giving every bit of yourself in the pursuit. I wanted to capture the simultaneous feelings of despair and restlessness you feel when you’re not where you want to be in life, and facing the realization that maybe you never will be.

lyrics

I wanna live forever! is that too much to ask
Enough dry heaving in the mirror and fogging up the glass

I wanna like the way I look without an ugly t-shirt
But I’m afraid that if I like my clothes I’ll hate what’s underneath

What if I’ll never be the person that I swore I’d give my everything to be
Forever dumb and awkward skinny lonely wasting time and drowning in my dreams.

I missed my lunch already, why not skip dinner too caught up
on tiger lilies dying, dying in their bloom you said

Forever’s just a feeling like all things too will pass and
I’ll waste a lifetime honey trying to make it last

Maybe I’ll never be the person that I swore I’d give my everything to be
Forever dumb and awkward skinny lonely wasting time and drowning in my dreams.
