I wrote this song a while ago whilst still unsure of who I wanted to be and where I wanted to head musically. Writing this song was probably the first time I felt like I knew who I was within the music I was making. The track is about losing momentum and feeling like your emotions will slowly destroy the relationship you’re in and you altogether. I think the dark, wonky sonics define who I am musically, which is why Falling Asleep At The Wheel is such a milestone track for me, and has taught me so much about myself as a musician. We created the song at the house I grew up in, which is very old and falling apart, in the middle of the countryside. You can almost hear the weird sounds of the house within the track. It’s where I feel the most me and love that this is all coming from that one place.

Falling Asleep At The Wheel lyrics
Oh, you never smoked this much before we met
Light up, light up another cigarette
I can tell you’re drinking only to forget
Don’t know how I got you in such a mess
How am I supposed to be your ray of light, your ray of light
I get dark sometimes, does it pass you by?
I should be your ray of light, your ray of light
But I’m falling, falling asleep at the wheel
Guess I forgot how to feel
Just for a second you’re talking
But I’m just pretending you have my attention
I’m falling, falling asleep at the wheel
I made you think it was real
If you think we’re strong enough
Come on and wake me up
You never looked this tense before we met
Back up, back when we were so innocent
All this emotion that we’re buried in
Tied up, fired up on this adrenaline
How am I supposed to be your ray of light, your ray of light
Not a cloud in sight, what a perfect night
I should be your ray of light, your ray of light
But that’s not me
And I’m falling, falling asleep at the wheel
Guess I forgot how to feel
Just for a second you’re talking
But I’m just pretending you have my attention
I’m falling, falling asleep at the wheel
I made you think it was real
If you think we’re strong enough
Come on and wake me up
Wake me up
Come on and wake me up. Come on and wake me up
If you think we’re strong enough, wake me up
And I’m falling, falling asleep at the wheel
Guess I forgot how to feel
Just for a second you’re talking
But I’m just pretending you have my attention
I’m falling, falling asleep at the wheel
I made you think it was real
If you think we’re strong enough
Come on and wake me up
Wake me up
Wake me up, wake me up
If you think we’re strong enough
Come on and wake me up
Wake me up, wake me up
