Here’s a demo I made a few years ago that speaks to the mental/emotional whirlwind of the earliest stage of dating someone. This song hasn’t made it onto any albums yet so if you like it, please let us know!
Lyrics by Rachel Gawell
lyrics
I am not caught up to what I’m supposed to think about our messages and our lack of visits
I am not the only one looking for love and admiration in all the wrong ways
Cayenne, I’m gonna put this as simple as I can
I wanna be loved exactly as I am
I don’t want to be compared to any man
And If you figure out what you want, oh you already know just where to find me
In the inconvenient and distant land of Brooklyn
I am not caught up to what I’m supposed to think about your lips and the way you’ve touched me
I am not the only one processing things in my head, I think you know what I mean
And you can make me jump through hoops but be careful who you screen out
‘Cuz all the self-respecting motherfuckers out there will be nowhere to be found
Cayenne, I’m gonna make this as simple as I can
I wanna be loved exactly as I am
I don’t want to be compared to any man
And If you figure out what you want, oh you already know just where to find me
In the inconvenient and distant land of Brooklyn
