about

This song is a story of gender identity and exploration. Through the friendly, sometimes fiery relationship between characters Jackie and Anna, it celebrates the tangled and winding path of self-discovery. Groove to it and show your moves.

Beyond grateful to everyone in my life who inspires me to be more open and to keep reaching. Onwards as always!

lyrics

Anna in the men’s row hunting button-ups
Analog camera slung left snapping pictures of
Jackie in the women’s row, putting on a show
Clothes make the man? So Jack is wearing women’s clothes.
Anna in the basement with the curtains drawn,
Jackie on her lap for a Pet Sounds sing-a-long.
Feeling right (Jack is staying the night),
But something’s going on and Anna got the feeling like

Sometimes I break down like Friday night when I drank Espalon
And we talked ‘till two damnit Jackie you know that I love you.

Maybe you can take me home and we can make a moment,
I’m your girl and you can be my woman.
In the sheets like little freaks.
kissing ‘till the morning.

Anna in the men’s row found a button-up
Analog camera slung left got the pictures of
Jackie in the women’s row, all a mess in a dress
oblivious you see Jackie never found out
Anna in the basement, with the curtains drawn
Captured all the magic of a Pet Sounds sing-a-long,
Feeling right (Jack was staying the night),
But something’s going on and Anna had the feeling like

Sometimes I break down…

[chorus]
Got me on my back making love till the morning.

Sometimes I break down like Friday night when I drank Espalon
And we, talked ‘till two damnit Jackie you know that i love you.
sometimes I talk tough gettin’ all messed up drinking too much Espalon
and we talked ‘till three damnit Jackie I know that you love me.

[chorus]
