Another meld of electronic and acoustic. The song originally had no lyrics and was called "Modern Lullaby". Kind of a depressing song, so I added sections of plucking guitar for the hell of it, and I like it.
lyrics
Do it like you mean it.
Is there such a thing, as sweet simplicity. I believe there is./ Cause I've tasted it more than once. I'm addicted to it.
Hook:
Sweet when too much bitter. Refreshing when too stale.
Nice and cold in the inferno, keeps you warm in the winter.
You can't just touch, you can't just love. Takes away from the feeling. Do it like you mean it.
You can't just make someone's heart fly, and say goodbye. Roll with the feeling. Do it like you mean it.
Is there such a thing as pure unrequited kindness? I never knew what it was, until you.
I never knew what paradise was, until you. It's like there was nothing before, because I started living. I just started loving.
You can love, you can touch. Doesn't take from my loving. Cause you done it like you meant it.
You made my heart fly, but didn't say goodbye. We're rolling in the heaven. We did it, cause we meant it.
I fell in love with your kindness. Departure causes my heart to further it's fondness for you.
I fell for your eyes, every sunset I turn to, and there you are.
These words I croon to you, not exhausting, but rejuvinating.
