about

This song was written for two cousins who are both turning 13 this year-- a pretty big year, and only unlucky if you make it so. So, this 10-year-old duo wrote them a song to talk about all those weird, fun transitions that can sometimes feel scary, but don't have to, but sometimes do anyway, any that's okay. Recorded in a sunny back room in Central California, where the light from the windows mixed with the jangle pop of the song actually erupted the recording session into a dance party by the time night fell.

lyrics

If I can imagine sprinklers as rain,
The big waft of oxygen it smells just the same.
Then I can imagine anywhere I’ve been.
I can start from the start or work back again.
I can be dream and you can be tame.
We can breathe out the wrong words for all our right names.

If I can imagine how young I will be.
They don’t make big silver screens for small time dreams.
I’m moving forward as fast as I am.
Once I step out, I can’t step back again.
I can be big time and you can be brave.
We can breathe out the wrong words for all our right names.

I think that we are right on track.
Right on time.
You know that I will have your back.
And you’ll have mine.

If I can imagine all night for a day,
And now for forever an even trade,
If all the world’s out there just out of frame,
Then I can imagine that this part stays the same.
We can be dreamy or we can be tame.
And we’ll yell out the wrong words for all our right names.
