I wrote this song as a fun little tribute to my wife. It’s not as serious as some of the other love songs I’ve written, but I feel like that’s kind of what being in a relationship is like. Some experiences are serious and profound, but when you’re with the right person, most days are just fun and lighthearted. I like that “My Person” reflects that.
I started out this song with that little syncopated percussion beat. To me, this track is all about the rhythm. It keeps that driving pattern going in the soft verses, and then kind of turns it on its head in the choruses, which kind of explode out of nowhere.
This was actually the last song I decided to produce for the album. It lived as a rough demo in Dropbox for a year. The original felt cool to me, but I couldn’t figure out how to land on the hook. The melody was there, but everything felt super lame.
Still, the melodies kept me coming back, and I finally figured out what the song needed. Now, it’s one of my favorites!

LYRICS:
“My Person”
I'd like to tell you tell you
Do what you wanna do
Talking at a table
A table for two
If you can't quite find the words
We'll find another way to tell
Show each other something
We've kept to ourselves
If you want, if you want me to
I can be all you want
Baby I'd let you do me wrong
And you might, and you might assume
I'd do anything for you
You'd be right, you'd be right on that one
Baby I would lie with you
Til the morning comes
Girl we got nothing to do
And nowhere to run
Baby I would lie with you
Til the world's undone
And I don't even notice 'cause I think I found my person
I'm thinking of a number
Between one and a grand
I'm thinking I might ask ya
To hold your hand
If you're feeling like I do
There's no need to feel it out
I'm falling for ya baby
There's no doubt about it
If you want, if you want me to
I can be all you want
Baby I'd let you do me wrong
And you might, and you might assume
I'd do anything for you
You'd be right, you'd be right on that one
Baby I could lie with you
Til the morning comes
Girl we got nothing to do
And nowhere to run
Baby I would lie with you
Til the world's undone
No need to run in circles 'cause I think I found my person
Think I found my
I think I found my person
Think I found my
I think I found my person
Think I found my
I think I found my person
Think I found my
I think I found my person
