Terrapin Lyrics
We can go wherever we want
The plains, the sand, the salt, the dust
You can say whatever you want
I don't care, I'm already gone
We could drive a mile down the road
To get a drink or two, you know
[Chorus]
Simple thing, I don't need much to like, I find
And I, and I guess I don't cry
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
It's a simple thing, we're all afraid and shy away
Now I find
I guess I don't shy
I guess I don't shy
[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
I guess that I don't cry (Ah)
I guess that I don't shy (Oh)

It is a turtle. It’s the name of this bar upstate. It’s the first song I made where I felt really free in the process. That song is about getting drunk with a friend and just looking at them and being like, ‘I love you.’ Maybe you never say it to each other, but you say it then, and it’s this magical moment where you’re covered in love, you’re drenched in it, and nothing matters. Like, why do we shy away from this feeling? Why don’t we say this more? I think the song also made me realize that some people put a lot of weight on the word ‘love’ and never say it, and then some people use it so freely where it loses its meaning.
