about

This song is about unrequited love. We’ve all been there. Crushing on someone that you know deep down is not for you. Knowing deep down that they’re just not that into you, but you temporarily lose yourself anyway hoping that things can change. I’m happy I was able to make that depressing shit reality into an up-tempo rocker of a tune.

lyrics

I want to be in love with you
I want to be in love
I want to be in love with you
I want to be but I can't

We get a little closer
But then you slip away
You leave me heavy hearted
With no words to say

I try to paint a picture
Preserve you in my mind
Because I know one day
You will be hard to find

I want to be in love with you
I want to be in love
I want to be in love with you
I want to be but I can't
But I can’t

I’ll sing this song for you
This way it’ll last forever
I’ll sing this song for you
Before we’re over
Before we’re over

There’s static in our picture
All signals fail
I just want to see myself
I just need to breathe
To exhale

Ahhhh
Ahhhh

I want to be in love with you
I want to be in love in love in love
I want to be in love with you
I want to be but I can't I can’t
Maybe I can... let’s go!!

I want to be in love with you
I want to be but I can't

about

Jason Shand New York, New York

Jason Shand's goal with this 14-song collection was to make a substantive personal pop album that not only caters to this single-driven era, but also caters to the old school era of having a full length album where each song flows into the other, taking the listener on a sonic storytelling ride.

"With every song being a potential single, I'd like to think I succeeded. Can't wait to release it!"
