about

For my amazing friends at Indiana University, it has been an amazing ride. It's not goodbye, it's just see you later.

lyrics

The stars are out, the sun is gone
And they all agree, it’s time to move on
The winds have changed, the time is near,
but the road I take won’t have you here.

But they said, long ago, the heart does have a home

No matter where we are
Through the fears and scars
I’ll be your wings, when earth will pull you down
It’s not the last goodbye,
like the birds in flight, just call my name and see
That you can reach for me

We lit some sparks into the night
and we laughed until there was no moonlight
We wove some circles through this town
and they’re built so strong that they can’t break down

Though the train is on the track, you don’t have to look back

No matter where we are
Through the fears and scars
I’ll be your wings, when earth will pull you down
It’s not the last goodbye,
like the birds in flight, just call my name and see
That you can reach for me

Take one step now, please don’t look down
You must know I’m with you toe to toe

No matter where we are
Through the fears and scars
I’ll be your wings, when earth may pull you down
It’s not the last goodbye,
like the birds in flight, just call my name and see
That you can reach for me

Jake was at a personal and artistic crossroads when he wrote his latest body of work, collectively known as Broken Stars. “I decided that the songs on this record should tie into themes of the psyche and the human spirit,” the NYC-based artist details. He continues: “Today, I’m open to showing all the aspects of my life, including my queerness.” ... more
