about

“Trajectory” is a platonic love letter to someone who changed my life. Each verse captures a different aspect of my value for the subject of the song. The song ends without resolving, reflecting on the value of dreams.

lyrics

"Northern winds and southern skies
Won’t you come sit with me for awhile
And wile away what’s left of this day
‘Cause tomorrow, who knows

Sitting on a westbound train
With the city lights all flickering
I remember you once told me
A story with just your smile

In the morning we’ll share a secret and a song
But we don’t know just how long
Like the scent of lilacs in the spring
It all just leaves you wondering

Record spinning western light
Come save my life if just tonight
I will do the same for you
Time and time again

The smell of rain keeps floating in
As porch lights begin to dim
Oh, the city falls asleep
I got a thousand words on this page
But they don’t mean anything
Won’t you tell me what you think?

Southern stars and northern lights
Come share a drink if it makes you right
‘Cause I won’t be one to say
That you ever owed me anything

All the time we have is right here
Passing faster every year
All we want is what we dream
"
