about

Headtrip lets his usual aggressive ego take a rest for the summer and performs an intimate song about the excitement of a budding romance. His vulnerability floats gently atop a glitchy, driving, yet buoyant soundscape provided by long time collaborator, Rich Courage.

lyrics

she told her older sister,
"it’s just a summer thing.”
she got me floatin’ she’s my water wings.
down to take the plunge with me.
she's too comforting.
keeps my tongue between her legs for when i run my mouth, and keeps up with me.

we say, "we ain’t a couple, we a couple runaways."
and she don’t like my city much, she only comes for me.
so, so much for a summer fling, i guess. it’s still a couple months from spring.

and you can take it
my word you can take it
i couldn’t break you if i tried, pretty lady
you a big girl. you can take a dive with me baby.
and you can take it
you can hold me to my word we can make this work
i couldn’t break you if i wanted. i’m your anchor or your flutter

when two lovers dream in unison a world away is it telepathy or a coincidence
or a courtesy the universe affords a pair of worthy, sleepless dreamers?
big kids, big feelings.
she fucks me in swedish
i’d love her peices but i ain’t much of a seamstress and she is.
so i’ll let her pull me apart and stitch me back together instead.
it’s elevating but let’s keep a level head, kid.

it’s just a summer thing, trip. she checked the shutter speed.
i climbed that rusty old shipwreck with my muddy feet.
i’m her buccaneer, she's my viking.
meet me on the island.
swoon for me boo, just catch yourself if i ain’t there help you upright.
yo, you know you tough, right?
so i’ll make up songs for us to sing
and hope it's longer than a summer thing

and you can take it
my word you can take it
i couldn’t break you if i tried, pretty lady
you a big girl. you can take a dive with me baby.
and you can take it
you can hold me to my word we can make this work
i couldn’t break you if i wanted. i’m your anchor or your flutter.

and i can take it, too
i’m good, i can take it
you couldn't break me if you tried, pretty lady
i'm a big boy. i can take a dive with you baby.
and we can take it
you can hold me to my word we can make this work
i couldn’t hurt you if i wanted
i’m yours for the summer
