about

Sarah Hyland and I wrote this song over Skype a couple nights before class production submissions were being accepted. Alix Thorne liked it so I submitted and eventually it was voted for!

lyrics

be my marco solo
i'll be polo with a blindfold,
Then play red rover, call you over,
and make you hold my hand
when we’re playing FREEZE!....
even time slows down,
duck duck goose, no matter who I
choose, you’re still around

in sardines, the spot, it seems,
you always pick the worst
I take a peek in hide and seek
so i can find you first
work my way in Twister,
hope we meet at blue or green,
if we’re both losing together,
we’re still on the winning team

I'm pretty big fan of you,
I'm a pretty big fan of you
Let's do the wave So i can see you
wave back at me too

They’re throwing you a curve ball
when it’s your turn up to bat
I’m cheering in the bleachers
and throwing up my hat

3,2,1 the ball is thrown,
i’m trying to steal first base
I’m always trying to catch you,
but you keep me on the chase
rumble clouds start pouring,
we keep singing in the rain,
Fill the pit with mudpies,
and I’ll throw some at your face :)

I'm pretty big fan of you,
I'm a pretty big fan of you
Let's do the wave So i can see you
wave back at me too,
Carve this tree for when we’re ready
after years of Alphaghetti,
in a treasure box of lego blocks
Let’s save the I’s and U’s

Outro
if your playdoh heart is harder
than the tree in which you carved it in,
and you just keep on bartering
and toying with yourself,

and if I’m to be as callous
as our feet when we were Alice
if we’ve fallen down the rabbit hole,
and lost most of our health,

We can lie beneath our carving,
and release our straining breath,
‘Till U and I are buried in our
Lego treasure chest

Sarah: “throw a rock for hopscotch then run and take a leap
If our numbers don’t add up, I can land on my two feet...”
Tokyo:“Well, I’ve hit my head in football, tackled dizzy in the street,
but you knocked me right out cold when you said you fell for me.”

I'm a gingerbearded music producer and songwriter, and if you twist my arm I'll sing.

I also like long walks on the beach, and hate sand in my sandwiches.
