about

This track was a lot of fun to make! I wrote the outline of the lyrics in my little brother's room and perfected the song at Black Hat Music with Josh Cohen.

We worked on the beginnings of the song together, with us both playing acoustic guitars. This reminded us of Extreme's "More Than Words". We then had no choice but to take a youtube break and watch Extreme's music video for "Get The Funk Out".

lyrics

I'm only looking for some sun to come
I'm only looking for someone to swim for
Holding hands with a baseball glove
Is not the kind of game that I'm looking for

I'm only looking for someone to kiss
I'm only looking for someone I know I'll
See waving back from the back of a train
A sweet that's a craving, not a tummy ache

I'm only looking for someone
I'm only looking for someone
I'm only looking for someone
Someone to love

I'm only looking for something to strum
I'm only looking for someone to play for
Holding hands with a loaded gun
Is not the kind of rush that I'm looking for

I'm only looking for some words to keep
I'm only looking for someone I know I'll
Catch naming clouds from the back of a plane
A sweet that's a brain freeze, not a headache

I'm only looking for someone
I'm only looking for someone
I'm only looking for someone
Someone like me

And wait before you say
That nothing really goes your way
Even Alex The Great
Had days when he forgot his name

No need to thirst where it runs
You'll find your love where you love

You're only looking for someone

You're only striking up matches
Waiting for something to happen
Keep looking up,
The colors will come

Someone to love
