about

"A natural songwriter…a captivating vocal disarmingly charming lyrical content” – Turtle Tempo

'Eliza' took me a while to write - the very first idea for that chorus popped out in summer 2019, and I didn't manage to finish the tune until the very end of that year! To me, it feels like the song where I really found my feet as a songwriter and a producer. It's got so many layers, so much personality, and honestly I just think the record feels so welcoming and satisfying. Oh, and if I do say so myself: good luck getting that earwormy-as-heck hook out of your head! Enjoy.

lyrics

Eliza’s picking up the habit
Lighting both my eyes up every time she passes
She lies but you know that I love it, you know that I love it

The sight of her
Just leaves me hurt
Her replies are curt from time to time
There’s two sides of her
I can’t decipher
Quite why she’s toying with my fragile mind
Seems like she’s got some kind of plan
I hate to feel like putty in her hands

Eliza’s picking up the habit
Lighting both my eyes up every time she passes
She lies but you know that I love it, you know that I love it
Eliza’s picking up the habit
Lighting both my eyes up every time she passes
She lies but you know I gotta have it, know I gotta have it

I think that she knows
That the right combination of bright conversation and slight flirtation will leave me prone
To the way she says hello
I think that she knows
That the way she’s talking will leave me walking the streets all morning and night
Still thinking of her
I wish I could resist it
She makes my insides twisted
I don’t want to risk it
She can make me go ballistic

Eliza’s picking up the habit
Lighting both my eyes up every time she passes
She lies but you know that I love it, you know that I love it
Eliza’s picking up the habit
Lighting both my eyes up every time she passes
She lies but you know I gotta have it, know I gotta have it

She’s toying with me and I know it
Happy to destroy me, but never show it
She messes with me and distresses me
But I fall back and I relapse so easily

Eliza’s picking up the habit
Lighting both my eyes up every time she passes
She lies but you know that I love it, you know that I love it
Eliza’s picking up the habit
Lighting both my eyes up every time she passes
She lies but you know I gotta have it, know I gotta have it
