about

In short, Consumed is the song for everyone with an unrequited crush to scream along to in the car. I mean, picture this: you and your friends are on a vibey car ride, my song comes on, and suddenly you're scream-singing "I'M CONSUMED BY YOU, AND I DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER I CAN TAKE IT". Cathartic, am I right?
I am ecstatic to be releasing my second single, "Consumed" on November 5th. This song is unlike any I've written, with trumpet parts reminiscent of Lake Street Dive and rhythmic guitar stylings harkening back to Joni Mitchell. Consumed is about an intense crush on somebody you can't have -- and the somewhat unhinged feelings that go along with that. It's a fun, upbeat song that pokes fun at having such intense feelings, but at its core tells a tale of unrequited love, ie this line from the bridge "for the record in my experience you won't have any trouble making someone fall in love with you...cuz I'm consumed by you".

lyrics

I'm consumed by you
And I don't really know how much longer I can take it
I'm consumed by you
Is there a less intrusive way for me to say
That I just wanna spend
Every wakin moment I have with you?
Well then again, I'd spend the other ones too

Before you came along I was doin just fine
I'd like to think I had control of my mind but
Ever since you walked my way
It's like I can't think straight

Now I'm actin like a fool
I keep messin shit up
And the crazy part is I think I might be in love but
Let's keep that on the downlow
Cuz I'm not sure I'll ever let you know

That I'm consumed by you
And I don't really know how much longer I can take it
I'm consumed by you
Is there a less intrusive way for me to say
That I just wanna spend
Every wakin moment I have with you?
Well then again, I'd spend the other ones too

Well I love the way you laugh, but it kinda makes me cry
I wish that I could write your name up in the sky
To show the whole damn world that I'd do anything for ya
And when you ask if you look good and I say "Yeah, it looks fine"
Just know that I'm not sayin what's really on my mind
Cuz the truth is I think you're a perfect human being and that might scare you

Cuz I'm consumed by you
And I don't really know how much longer I can take it
I'm consumed by you
Is there a less intrusive way for me to say
That I just wanna spend
Every wakin moment I have with you?
Well then again, I'd spend the other ones too

We're all scared we're not enough and that we'll never find the one
But what if you're mine? And I'm not yours
I'll be sitting over here tryna make my feelings disappear
Ignoring the fact my heart wants more
And you'll be sitting over there, I'll do my best not to stare
Lovingly, Longingly
And for the record, in my experience
You won't have any trouble making someone fall in love with you

Cuz
I'm consumed by you
And I don't really know how much longer I can take it
I'm consumed by you
Is there a less intrusive way for me to say
That I just wanna spend
Every wakin moment I have with you?
Well then again, I'd spend the other ones too
Yea then again I'd spend any second I could with you
