about

“This was one of the only times where the melody came to me before the lyrics, at least for the chorus. I guess it’s sort of about how we’re all in this together, so we might as well be on the same side. Everything’s complex and it’s a constant battle between blissful ignorance and the burden of knowledge, which each have their pros and cons. It was fun to write and even more fun to revamp for the album. Fun fact, I recorded the main line of vocals for this while cat sitting for my pals Katrina & Natalya, which is why you can hear Pepper the kitty meowing a few times. I left it in because it was too cute to edit out and only adds to the song.” -@MiaStegner on Instagram, 2/14/19

lyrics

I like life better when the lights are off, you see
I’m afraid of the sun, but simultaneously
I like life better when the lights are on
I’m afraid of the dark, when all the truth is gone

It’s all gray, no black and white you say
And I like it better that way
It’s all gray, no black and white you say
And I like it better that way

So let's be careful in all of the smart ways
And brave in the right ways
I promise we'll see better days

Let’s be careful in all of the smart ways
And brave in the right ways
I promise we'll see better days

We’re all flying wizards
We all share the same sky
Through every sunny day and blizzard
Watching sparrows pass us by

We’re all fighting darkness, outside and in ourselves
So why not work together, making potions, casting spells?

Afraid of the dark, afraid of the light
One limits and one allows my sight

Hold up your wands and broomsticks
'Cause don’t you understand?
We’ve got magic, take my hand
Let’s make ourselves a place to land
