Drifting dreamily amongst the distant glimmer of warbling guitars and softly shimmering textures, Baraz lays all her cards on the table as she questions the existence of someone who might match their passionate devotion. “How could someone ever match my, my energy,” she asks. “Enough, enough for me to believe in.” Delivered via her breathy coos Baraz offers in stark terms her need for mutual honesty and trust.

“We pour so much time, love, and energy into ourselves, effortlessly and indefinitely,” Baraz explained. “The idea [for the song] came from wondering if someone could ever do that for you. It’s easy to fall in love but to keep me in love, I long for that.”
