about

Rob: Gentle and pure guitar tones and a quietly building rhythmic tension tell a story of the struggle of coming of age and the beauty and hope that lies within youth. A climactic lead solo cries solemnly for lost opportunities and regrets, but ultimately resolves with the realisation that life awaits and goes on, with those we love along for the ride.

lyrics

A blossom phase is on the way
Bundles of buds are screaming out
Like a big word you cannot say,
you try to sway, but fall about

Be my pretty baby,
even though you can't stop
fumbling the turnstile
Be my pretty baby girl

A surging tide surrounds a cave
A brand new moon is on the rise
Nature will have its wicked way
God knows if we'll get out alive

Be my pretty baby,
even though you can't help
becoming a lady
Be my pretty baby girl

I'm trying so hard,
but you can be such a bitch in any situation
But I'm climbing down,
and I'm swimming out to free you from the clutches of the supermoon

I'm proud of all your traits and flaws
All grinding gears and pedal down
Some tests are harder than you thought
You'll shake your fears and don your crown

Be my pretty baby,
even though you can't stop
fumbling the turnstile
Be my pretty baby girl
Be my pretty baby,
even though you can't help
becoming a lady
Be my pretty baby girl
Be my pretty baby,
even though you won't stop
moving on without me
Be my pretty baby girl
