I like to look back on old songs and think about what headspace I was in while writing the lyrics.
These lyrics is pretty heavy because it came at a time when my family went through very severe loss and also at a time when there was a lot to celebrate (hence the chorus lyric). It's a very sorrowful song to me and brings back heart ache and pain that I never want to think about. That's the hardest part, right? healing. I hope this song will speak to you too.
Celebrate (Sweetheart)
In the board room I was feeling bored so soon
I wanna save your soul tonight
In the office as I put on my make up
you make me sick I want to wake up
you live a lie
you can't decide
if you're wrong or right
celebrate let's celebrate
forget your pain let's celebrate
for just one day
let's celebrate
In the office I was getting off on us
I can't be taking off I want to fake it
out tonight
In the board I was getting bored so soon I want to wake up
from this nightmare
out tonight
i can't decide
if you're on my side
celebrate let's celebrate
forget your pain let's celebrate
for just one day
let's celebrate
celebrate
