you need to be earnest. you need to tell people that you love them. you need to speak on how you’re feeling honestly. you need to be sentimental. you need to stop letting the fear of other people laughing at you have so much control over how you express yourself. you need to get over yourself. you need to be embarrassing but true.

when noah kahan said “drive slowly. i know every route in this county. maybe that ain’t such a bad thing? i’ll tell you where not to speed.” and when he said “why am i so obsessive? hangin on to every sentence? this town’s the same as u left it; your page was blank but i read it!” and when he said “honey come over, the party’s gone slower n no one will tempt you - we know you got sober. there’s orange juice in the kitchen, bought for the children. it’s yours if you want it. we’re just glad you could visit.” and when he said “oh, this town’s for the record now! the intersection got a target and they’re calling it downtown.” and when he said “i got dreams but i can’t make myself believe them, spend the rest of my life with what could have been, and i will die in the house that i grew up in.”
