Foreign Air is the creation of Jesse Clasen and Jacob Michael, who met in the late 2000s when their respective bands played on the same bill. They took interest in each other's talents and stayed in touch over the years. Hailing from North Carolina and Washington, D.C., respectively, the collaboration came to fruition in early 2015 after the pair, who were in between projects at the time, began trading ideas via Dropbox. The duo released their first single, "Free Animal," that November, followed by an EP, For the Light, in September 2016. A series of stand-alone singles arrived over the next few years, including 2017's "Lying" and 2019's "Wake Me Up."
Everything is Good Now
Foreign Air Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we're together everything feels different
When I was younger I was so damn happy
Now I need something that goes down smooth every time
When I'm with you
Sunlight dripping from the ceiling
all the clocks are melting
when I'm with you
I get to paint my own world
get to be Picasso
everything's good now
I've been stealing all your records, listening
You've been wearing all my t-shirts thin
We're laughing 'cause we're so damn happy
Now you're that something that goes down smooth every time
When I'm with you
Sunlight dripping from the ceiling
all the clocks are melting
what a crazy feeling
when I'm with you
I get to paint my own world
get to be Picasso
everything's good now
Sunlight is dripping
When I'm with you
All the clocks are melting
When I'm with you
What a crazy feeling when I'm with you
Everything is good now when I'm with you
Sunlight dripping from the ceiling
all the clocks are melting
what a crazy feeling
when I'm with you
I get to paint my own world
get to be Picasso
everything's good now

I've been stuck here on the outside looking in

I’ve been stuck here on the outside Looking in

So damn happy
Now I need something that goes down smooth every time

It's such a shame how little recognition these guys are getting for this. This is genuinely one of the best songs I've ever heard.
