Going out to my one true Stardew Valley husband. It seems one of my favorites of all the love songs I've ever written was destined to be about a little pixel guy in a farming simulator. I don't ask questions anymore.
lyrics
I didn't mean to fall so far so fast
How could I have guessed?
I never dreamed a dream so sweet could last
Long past the morning
Up until now they'd all just end the same
Heartache and pain
Then you came to me like a sunburst through the rain
All without warning
Under a grapefruit sky, I will be waiting
For the rest of my life if I have to
I don't know why, maybe it's fate we found each other
But now that I have you
Up in the grapefruit sky, I will be soaring
On the wings of the love that you've brought me
I don't know much, but if I try I can be ready
That's what you've taught me
So many things I've wished that I could say
I'd wait for the day
Hoping that I might somehow find a way
To show you my feelings
Now just like a storybook, you read my face
And I lose my place
Holding your hand, my heart begins to race
And my head is reeling
Up in the grapefruit sky, we'll be together
Me and you, you and me, ever after
One thing I know: if you say yes, I'll make you happy
I will live for your laughter
And I'll dry your tears, and hold you at night
When you need me
I'll be here
To make it all right
Under a grapefruit sky, I will be waiting
For the rest of my life if I have to
I don't know why, maybe it's fate we found each other
But now that I have you
Now that I have you, it's all right

I could listen to Lauren sing forever. Her writing is vivid and sensitive, sweetly and painfully human--never apologizing for sharp corners and rough edges. The beauty of her spirit shines through. Summer Russell
