about

“Sideways was cultivated from a vulnerable place of immense pain when I was feeling a great deal of shame for making a mistake with a friend. I didn’t know what to do because I felt that I had ruined the relationship to the point of not turning back. It made me feel unbalanced and insecure. At the intersections of the pivotal & life-changing moments that we face, we can feel unsteady. Uncertain for the future. The one thing that I could always count on to hold me was music and freedom. Music to guide my steps, freedom in the reality that I was indeed human and flawed. Despite the remorse, I was encouraged by the fact that there may be room in every heart for reconciliation and redemption.”

lyrics

LYRICS
Verse 1:
It's something like a wonder
I can't replace
I called you in the Summer
To see your face
How could I keep on going
When I cause you shame
Will you ever forgive me
I feel displaced

Pre-Chorus:
When I'm ashamed and I don't wanna see me
Don't wanna see me
All Day, All Day
All of my egos + all of my demons
Was for a good reason
Find me
Find me

Hook:
I keep on falling sideways
Rhythm hold me
If we just keep on dancing
Freedom take me
I keep on
falling sideways
Rhythm hold me
If we just keep on dancing
Rhythm take me
Oohhhh
Ooohhh

Pre-Chorus:
When I'm ashamed and I don't wanna see me
Don't wanna see me
All Day, All Day
All of my egos + all of my demons
Was for a good reason
Find me
Find me

Hook:
I keep on falling sideways
Rhythm hold me
If we just keep on dancing
Freedom take me
I keep on falling sideways
Rhythm hold me
If we just keep on dancing
Rhythm take me
