https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNREMNAu5 ========================= When I wrote You Make Me, I started with a simple idea. People often say we're defined by our zodiac sign. Maybe there's some truth to that... but I think love has a funny way of proving us wrong. When you meet the right person, you surprise yourself. You become brave when you used to hesitate. Patient when you used to rush. Curious, protective, passionate, adventurous... almost as if, for a moment, you become every sign of the zodiac. That's the little secret hidden inside this song. • Aries ... "I jump before I overthink." • Taurus ... "Slow dance like the world stands still." • Gemini ... "Talk until the birds wake up." • Cancer ... "One smile and every silence heals." • Leo ... "I wear my heart where it can shine." • Virgo ... "Find magic hiding in small things." • Libra ... "Maybe we just wrote our own." • Scorpio ... "Trust the dark before the dawn." • Sagittarius ... "I chase horizons just because." • Capricorn ... "Leave my safest walls behind." • Aquarius ... "Lose my fear of looking foolish." • Pisces ... "Dream with both my eyes wide open." Maybe that's what love really does. It doesn't change who you are. It simply reveals every version of you that was waiting for the right person to come along. ======================= [VERSE] I stopped reading every horoscope None of them could picture you You turned "one day" into "right now" Like every impossible came true I jump before I overthink Slow dance like the world stands still Talk until the birds wake up One smile and every silence heals I chase horizons just because Find magic hiding in small things Trust the dark before the dawn Dream with both my eyes wide open [PRE-CHORUS] Maybe love was never written Maybe we just wrote our own Every version I believed in Melts away when you're this close [CHORUS] You make me... Brighter than the midnight sky You make me... Feel like I was born to fly You make me... Believe the stars can change their minds You make me... Fall in love with being alive [VERSE] I take the longest road with you Every wrong turn feels so right Laugh until my chest gives out Forget the ending, love the ride I wear my heart where it can shine Leave my safest walls behind Lose my fear of looking foolish Just to see you smile one more time I hold on when the moment matters Let go when the fear is mine You never asked me to be different You simply brought the rest to life [PRE-CHORUS] Maybe love was never written Maybe we just wrote our own Every version I believed in Melts away when you're this close [CHORUS] You make me... Brighter than the midnight sky You make me... Feel like I was born to fly You make me... Believe the stars can change their minds You make me... Fall in love with being alive [BRIDGE] If someone asked who I've become I'd smile before I'd say a word Some loves don't change your direction They teach your whole sky how to turn [CHORUS] You make me... Brighter than the midnight sky You make me... Feel like I was born to fly You make me... Believe the stars can change their minds You make me... Fall in love with being alivemore

When I was younger... well, not that much younger. Let's just say... a little less emotionally mature. 😅 Back then, I genuinely thought I was protecting myself. Whenever someone got too close, whenever a relationship started feeling real, something inside me would quietly pull the emergency brake. I'd suddenly notice flaws that hadn't mattered before. I'd convince myself we weren't compatible. I'd call it intuition... when, in reality, it was fear. Looking back, I don't think I was running away from love. I was running away from the unknown. Because loving someone for real means accepting that you can lose them, that they can change you, that you no longer control everything. Thankfully, that's no longer who I am today. I wanted to write this song because we don't talk about this side of relationships very often. We hear a lot about the fear of being abandoned. Much less about the fear of finally finding something real... and walking away anyway. Airplane Mode is for everyone who's ever mistaken self protection for freedom, and fear for instinct. Sometimes the biggest risk isn't falling in love... it's never giving yourself the chance to. ========================= [VERSE] Summer getaway, California coast Windows down, singing way too close One Airbnb, one carry on Your hoodie somehow became my own AirDropped pictures from the pier Sunset looked better with you here Every green flag checked the list You made forever hard to resist [PRE-CHORUS] Nothing to repair Nothing to decode The calmer my heart became The louder my survival mode [CHORUS] You put me in airplane mode 'Cause my amygdala told me, "Keep control" The safer your love, the less I could breathe My fear wore your name, but it wasn't you I needed to leave No broken trust No reason to go I walked away from everything I'd waited for Still don't know why I let you go [VERSE] Thanksgiving around your place Your dad said, "Hope we'll save your space." Your sister tagged me in the photos Your grandma said, "I've never seen you smile like this." Then my mind began to spin Double texts... "Too much too soon." Talking 'bout next summer... "Maybe we're moving too fast." Green flags slowly turned into masks [PRE-CHORUS] I wasn't reading warning signs I was writing every page Every peaceful little moment Started feeling like a cage [CHORUS] You put me in airplane mode 'Cause my amygdala told me, "Keep control" The safer your love, the less I could breathe My fear wore your name, but it wasn't you I needed to leave No broken trust No reason to go I walked away from everything I'd waited for Still don't know why I let you go [VERSE] Birthday candles, crowded room Your wish was looking back at you Your mom saved every photo Like I'd already been there too Your friends kept saying, "Don't mess this up." I smiled while planning my escape The future knocked upon my door I turned away and closed it more [PRE-CHORUS] The closer love looked like home The louder danger sounded I confused being deeply loved With losing who I was [BRIDGE] There never were red flags I painted every one Called my fear "gut feeling" Called my panic "common sense" Love never threatened me Safety did I spent my whole life searching for The kind of heart that chooses mine Then left the moment It finally did [CHORUS] You put me in airplane mode 'Cause my amygdala told me, "Keep control" The safer your love, the less I could breathe My fear wore your name, but it was never you No final fight No one to blame I spent my whole life looking for love... Then ran away the day I found itmore

"Phantom Summer" is a melancholic meditation on the erosion of authenticity and the isolation inherent in digital existence. I explore how we trade genuine connection for performative artifice, using the imagery of a "beautiful graveyard of billboard estates" to depict a landscape where our shared reality has been commodified and hollowed out. The track serves as an autopsy of a relationship or a shared experience that has been consumed by the "synthetic heat" of digital validation, leaving us as "two matching ghosts in a palace of chrome." Ultimately, the song captures the feeling of living in a "stuck" state—a long, slow descent from the pedestal—where we are constantly performing for an audience that isn't really there, waiting for a winter that will never come.more
