about

This song is about acknowledging the struggle of letting someone special go while declaring I can move on because what's done is done.

The creation of this started as a sad song I wrote in my room in efforts to not feel pain anymore. But, after getting deep into the production with Zach Golden. It started to take more of a dance early 90's type of vibe. After putting on some amazing brass, live drums and a crazy Sax solo, "Look" went from sad boy in his room to a celebration of feeling the feelings of life and dancing along with it the whole time. Hope you enjoy!

lyrics

Take a look just over your shoulder
Cause I can’t seem to really get enough
Right now you don’t call me your lover
Never knew pain could hurt this much

I think I’ll take a long drive for the weekend
Leave my pain for another day
I know I can’t escape this feeling
But I still drive just to ease the pain

Lord You know where I’m coming from
Oh you got me but I’m
Letting go if we’re really done
I gotta, I gotta peace out

Cause I wanna only dream about you
Living in a moment I can’t live without
Don’t wanna let you go
But I know I gotta let go
Not looking back this time

Yesterday you told me no
Said that you’re seeing someone else
You need your space, I know that now
I’ll just be back here learning how

I think I’ll take that drive for the weekend
Yea I just gotta get out
Knowing where I stand
Guess I’ll throw out all my plans

Lord You know where I’m coming from
Oh, you got me but I’m
Letting go if we’re really done
I gotta, I gotta peace out

Cause I wanna only dream about you
Living in a moment I can’t live without
Don’t wanna let you go
But I know I gotta let go
Not looking back this time

Take the high road
Let it go slow
Are you ever comin back to me?
Can I be okay?
Just for today
But you’re still on my mind

Cause I wanna only dream about you
Living in a moment I can’t live without
Don’t wanna let you go
But I know I gotta let go
Not looking back this time
