about

I wrote this summer after eigth grade, after attending a summer camp in California where i started writing music again for the first time since I was 7. It was very frustrating though because getting back into songwriting was more difficult than I expected it to be.

I was in the airport on my way back to Illinois, and I was starving. But airport food is really expensive so while waiting for my plane instad of buying real food I settled for buying Teen Vogue and a milk chocolate Dove bar.
While on the plane, I could not focus on my teen vogue, and was dying for a sandwich. Unfortunately, all I had was the chocolate bar so I bit into it and to my surprise I'd apparently bought a caramel filled Dove bar instead and felt that because of this experience I needed to write a song called caramel. I finished the song before we landed.

lyrics

You don't get what you want, until it wants you back. Be patient I can feel you squirm. It's like waiting for the rain.
Because you know when it comes, you'll want the sun again.

Oh, I feel it through my soul, but it can come and go like wind that's cutting through the heat.
I could almost start to fly. But the ground is gone before I'm caught up to my feet.

But waiting for the music is very sticky business, sliding through your soul, like caramel through your fingers.
It's bittersweet when found, because you know that sound is all yours.

Oh, I feel it through my soul, but it can come and go like wind that's cutting through the heat.
I could almost start to fly. But the ground is gone before I'm caught up to my feet.

Now, I know I'm falling down. But how can I get up if I haven't hit the ground.
Now, I know I'm falling down. But how can I get up if I haven't hit the ground?
You can't stop me now.
You can't stop me now.

Oh, I feel it through my soul, but it can come and go like wind that's cutting through the heat.
I could almost start to fly. But the ground is gone before I'm caught up to my feet.

Oh, I feel it through my soul, but it can come and go like wind that's cutting through the heat.
I could almost start to fly. But the ground is gone before I'm caught up to my feet.
