about

Whether it’s through fashion, our careers, or adopting vices, finding out who we are takes a lifetime. We should all be lucky enough to have someone who models how to love, especially ourselves, while we take this journey. I am grateful to have found Elsa, who was graciously willing to join me on this song. Her voice is as gentle as it is commanding, and her work feels classically familiar.

lyrics

I just got a new tattoo
Chaos in suburban shoes
I forgot what city life is like

A bit too old for cigarettes
Don’t believe in side effects
But smoking cloves will probably make ya blind

I don’t know who I am much beyond 22
All I know is I’ve got you

Help me love myself the way you love me
So who I am tomorrow is who I’m meant to be
If I could love myself the way you love me
I’d be bad and bold and beautiful and stronger than I think
The way you love me

All my friends feel good or bad
They take little pills for that
I take whiskey neat with no advice

All these years I’ve played along
Cheeky looks and clever songs
Sign my contracts never thinking twice

I don’t know who I am much beyond 22
All I know is I’ve got you

Help me love myself the way you love me
So who I am tomorrow is who I’m meant to be
If I could (I want to) see myself the way you see me
I’d be bad and bold and beautiful and stronger than I think
The way you love me

What if I was never great?
My best self was ’98
When I bleached my tips and listened to Sublime

Maybe one day I’ll relax
But I’m too busy to unpack
I’ll just be here running out of time

Help me love myself the way you love me
So who I am tomorrow is who I’m meant to be
If I could (I want to) see myself the way you see me
Bad and bold and beautiful and stronger than I think
The way you love me

Sing your song again
Go make a mess and call your friends
Swim the ocean, climb a mountain
Don’t you worry how it ends

The way you love me
