I've definitely always been a bit of a hopeless romantic.
In high school, I definitely once wrote a song about a girl who literally I don't think
knew I existed.
So I was always kinda like, yeah, that dude.
I wrote the song when I moved to L.A. but it's
originally about when I moved to New York.
I was 18, moved here for school, and was trying to figure out who I was and who I wanted to
be.
I fell in love for the first time, and it's just about this four year relationship that
I was in when I went to school at NYU.
It’s kind of just like that feeling of everything else is crazy in my life and I don't really
know what the fuck I'm doing, but whatever we have going
on is dope.
When you haven't been in love before, I think everything is such a big deal.
Every little feeling.
There's all these crazy insecurities, there's the whole honeymoon phase, there's all the
sex, like everything.
You know what I mean?
And it's all happening when you first move to New York.
You know what I mean?
It's crazy.
It's been so long since I've had that experience.
I feel like it's kinda rare.
You know what I mean?
Where you don't wanna go to bed, nothing, and it's all happening for the first time.
Then you just go straight into your next day.
You minimize my insecurities and you bring out the things about me that I didn't even
know that I had, that are like dope.
I think that's such a nice feeling, to be with somebody when you're trying to figure
yourself out, and they bring out all the stuff in you that's like, "Oh shit, I didn't think"
"I had any swag, but apparently you think I have swag.”
Alright cool, that's sick.
I do this thing where I'll see somebody and I feel like I fall in love with them.
But it's not even just that I fall in love with them but I imagine
How would our future look?
I was walking around the LACMA in L.A., and I was like, "What if I met a girl here who"
"became my wife, at the art museum?"
I have these little mini fantasies, and then I just move on with my life and it never happens.
I find now, I wake up every day and I'm on my phone, or I'll wake up in the middle of
the night and I'm on my phone.
It's sad.
The first thing I do is do that.
It's so nice when you're with somebody and you can just lay there and watch them wake
up, or whatever it is.
I don’t know.
It sounds really corny but we know like where you wanna go in the future, and your family,
and your insecurities, and the shit that pisses you off, and the shit that you love, and the
movies you love, and everything.
When you find somebody where you can literally just unload everything.
You guys can talk about whatever, and there's no boundaries.
That's such a beautiful and rare thing.
I feel like when I was in a long-term relationship, there's be moments where I'd be like
"We either are compatible or we're not."
But I think a lot of that's a decision.
Do you enjoy spending time together?
Do you feel like you can grow together?
And I feel like it’s just like, do you want to make sacrifices?
