His song, "Cover Your Tracks," was recently included in the film and soundtrack The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Pt. 2, quickly establishing this singer-songwriter as an emerging voice within indie music. Wilton's sound and influences have been shaped and inspired by a decade of helping other artists craft and create music in his Colorado recording studio, St. Ida's.

The lyrics reveal grounded storytelling intertwined with discovery, exploration, and romanticism.

A Boy and His Kite Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe I can try come on baby I have to fight
Fire with flames burning up, bellowing inside
All is safe. No wound too deep to break
My heart will pace the fight it has to make
All the way our love will be the same
Till darkness fades into light
Maybe I can try come on baby I have to fight
Fire with rain pouring down, washing up the flame

All is safe. No wound too deep to break
My heart remains this fight it has to make
All the way our love will be the same
Till darkness fades into light

Can you feel my heart. It’s racing. It’s chasing
Can you feel my heart. It’s racing. It’s chasing you
