about

This song explores the peaks and valleys of a romanticized “situation-ship” gone awry, about someone believed to be a first love. Thematically, the song is rooted in an allusion to "It's a Wonderful Life" where George Bailey promises to lasso the moon for Mary, the woman he loves. The song showcases a journey from infatuation to realization, from romance to demise.

lyrics

It was magic at first
Soul was filled to the brim
And my heart is a gentle cocoon
Butterflies spill for him

Eucalyptus for our slumber
Sweet light kisses like morning dew
This goodbye feels so bittersweet
Smile with your whole face for me

A rope with no noose I suppose it’s no use, wish I could stay
Maybe a cowboy will lasso the moon for me someday

You were warm like a peachy dawn
And tender like a deep dusk blue
But a flood washed those colors away
The forecast was in plain view

Thoughts are loud and I’m spinning
Want to speak, but it’s void
Said that you cared for me, but you weren’t there for me
And now I’m letting you go

A rope with no noose I suppose it’s no use, wish I could stay
Maybe a cowboy will lasso the moon for me someday

A codependent drug trip
Of carefully numbed emotion
Natural needed beautiful chaos
A love that feeds and starves at the same time
There’s no comfort in this quiet, you’ve left me feeling hollow
But I’m worthy of love and wholehearted connection

I can’t interpret the silence
Will we ever meet again
Will I kiss your eyes once more
To help you calm the waves again

A rope with no noose I suppose it’s no use, wish I could stay
Maybe a cowboy will lasso the moon for me someday
Maybe a cowboy will lasso the moon for me someday
Maybe a cowboy will lasso the moon for me someday
