Never writing happy music for happy people to draw more happiness from, because they obviously have that covered. Only to write relatable songs about real feelings, and blog posts to fill in some fuzziness between the sometimes abstract imagery of lyrics sung. No advice offered, only shared experience of problems and how they almost always begin and end within. A solution for myself and those like souls who identify with depression, defeat, and degradation. No need to be heard, read or followed by any number, but just to be stated honestly, without ulterior motives. I will tell my story in all of its beauty and all of it's ugly.

Joy Notes
rich people Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could write until I'm blue in the hands
I could read all the books that my eyes can stand
But I've come away from ways I thought I had to be
To keep myself safe from pain

Things change

And I'm home sick in LA and you're far away
I wish I could turn one month to one day

Cause I love the way you laugh when I see you
I'd explain myself
I don't need to
Be so understood anymore

And if you are I am

I forgive your morning breath
I get you packed and out for the day ahead
I adore the way you looked before you left bed

And I'm gone again

"If you are I am"
It's what you said

And I love the way you laugh when I see you
I'd explain myself
I don't need to
Be so understood anymore

And if you are I am

I forgive your morning breath
I get you packed and out for the day ahead
I adore the way you looked before you left bed
(Like you said)

And I kiss you on the forehead
And we dance out of the light
I woke you up just to say goodnight
And let you know I'm alright

If you are I am
And I woke you up just to say goodnight
And let you know I'm alright

I forgive your morning breath
I get you packed and out for the day ahead
I adore the way you looked before you left bed
(Like you said)

And I kiss you on the forehead
And you know that I love you




But who knew
That I could find joy too

Line by Line Meaning

I could write until I'm blue in the hands
I can express myself in writing as much as I want


I could read all the books that my eyes can stand
I can indulge in reading as much as I want


But I've come away from ways I thought I had to be
I've moved away from my old perspectives and beliefs


To keep myself safe from pain
To protect myself from getting hurt


Things change
Life is constantly evolving


And I'm home sick in LA and you're far away
I miss being home in LA and you're not here with me


I wish I could turn one month to one day
I wish time would fly by so we can be together again soon


Cause I love the way you laugh when I see you
I love seeing the joy in your face when you laugh


I'd explain myself
I used to feel the need to justify myself


I don't need to
But now, I don't feel the need to do it anymore


Be so understood anymore
I don't need to be completely understood by others anymore


And if you are I am
We are in sync with each other


I forgive your morning breath
I am accepting of your flaws and imperfections


I get you packed and out for the day ahead
I help you get ready for the day ahead


I adore the way you looked before you left bed
I love the sight of you before you leave for the day


And I'm gone again
But then I have to leave again


"If you are I am" It's what you said
We are connected to each other


And I kiss you on the forehead
I give you a tender goodbye kiss


And we dance out of the light
We move out of the spotlight


I woke you up just to say goodnight
I want to say goodnight to you before I leave


And let you know I'm alright
I want you to know that I'll be fine


And you know that I love you
You understand that I love you


But who knew that I could find joy too
But now, I've found my own source of happiness
