about

Before "Convos With My 2-Year-Old" became a huge viral hit, we were also making music. This is the first song we wrote after the birth of Coco. It's for her. And since the web-series is also about her, we wanted to share this with you too. Hope you enjoy.
Big love!

lyrics

Is anybody writing this thing down, 'cause I'm bound to forget.

A bright light and a swing door,
A heart beat to the clicking on a tile floor,
A full moon honey, what an entrance,
Like a big spotlight to an actress,
I feel like I'm gonna weep here,
One act of hope can make you see clear,
So I'll hold you close until my arm breaks,
I just hope that I've got what this takes.

Is anybody writing this thing down, 'cause I'm bound to forget,
Can anybody slow this moment down, I can't quite comprehend,
Is anybody feeling the same way, levelled by the power and by the grace?
Can anything ever be the same, after seeing you begin?

A new bike and a red helmet,
A treehouse and a secret compartment,
A bruised heart honey, an ice cream cone,
A whole life sitting just down the road,
But I'm heavy here in the moment,
It's all flying past, don't want to let it,
So I'll hold you close until my arm breaks,
I just hope that I've got what this takes.

Is anybody writing this thing down, 'cause I'm bound to forget,
Can anybody slow this moment down, I can't quite comprehend,
Is anybody feeling the same way, levelled by the power and by the grace?
Can anything ever be the same, after seeing you begin?
