Lyrics relate to the changing seasons.

Crown Shy
(shadow)

Turning towards the heavy footfalls of a future coming down my lane
And the endless tyranny of how days pile up on days
Winter turns to spring and summer turns to fall
I see ambition on the caller ID, but I can't pick up that call

And I don't want to sink or swim
I just want to get out of the water
Hold my breath and I think that I
Could skim the surface like a dragonfly
Or float like dandelion fluff into the empty sky
I don't want to sink or swim

The Joneses are breathing down my neck with my mother in hot pursuit
And my brother's off somewhere ahead in his Allbirds and three-piece suit
I feel the claws come down and tear through anxious skin
It stings just enough to get me sprinting for a while again

And I don't want to sink or swim
I just want to get out of the water
Hold my breath and I think that I
Could skim the surface like a dragonfly
Or float like dandelion fluff into the empty sky
I don't want to sink or swim

And I don't want to sink or swim
I just want to get out of the water
Hold my breath and I think that I
Could skim the surface like a dragonfly
Or float like dandelion fluff into the empty sky
And I don't want to sink or swim
I just want to get out of the water
Hold my breath and I think that I
Could skim the surface like a dragonfly
Or float like dandelion fluff into the empty sky
I don't want to sink or swim

the mix of the fuzzy guitar / bass and the clean uke sounds really nice, and I'm a sucker for a stylophone solo. Vocal melody is also really strong. Very good song! Shame you were TOO LATE!
