about

Part of a full-length album of original songs conceived, written, and performed by a group of ten selected LGBTQIA+ young people from across the United States. And the craziest part... they recorded the whole thing from the comfort of their own homes.

lyrics

Took me a while
To feel this good in my own skin
Years of suppression turned into oppression
Emotional cage I was locked in
Now I’m ready to smile
At least when I’m looking at you boy
My imagination makes fake situations
But I can tell you’re acting coy

And it’s easy to say but it’s harder to do
That’s always the way that it is with the truth
Gotten through the tough part you can do it too

But I know you want to resist
You say ignorance is bliss
But you don’t need to know it all
Don’t need to know a thing
We can experiment
Call it summer fling
Give me a chance and
I’ll give you my everything
I bet you think about our kiss
You don’t have to resist, no
You don’t have to know what this is, no
You don’t have to resist
Oh oooh don’t resist it, no

Took you a while
To realize you had these feelings
We could be together it could be forever
But your heart is still barely healing
Cuz you’re still in denial
Wish there was a way I could show you
The world we could live in is good with you in it
One day I hope you can break through

Cuz it’s easy to say but it’s harder to do
That’s always the way that it is with the truth and I know, and I know you’ll get through it too

But I know you want to resist
You say ignorance is bliss
But you don’t need to know it all
Don’t need to know a thing
We can experiment
Call it summer fling
Give me a chance and
I’ll give you my everything
I bet you think about our kiss
You don’t have to resist, no
You don’t have to know what this is, no
You don’t have to resist

You don’t need to hide it
You don’t need to hide it
You don’t need to fight it
You don’t need to fight it
No you don’t need to hide it
You don’t need to hide it
Cuz I’ll be right beside ya

Cuz I know you want to resist
You say ignorance is bliss
But you don’t need to know it all
Don’t need to know a thing
We can experiment
Call it summer fling
Give me a chance and
I’ll give you my everything
I bet you think about our kiss
You don’t have to resist, no
You don’t have to know what this is, no
You don’t have to resist

I know you wanna resist
I know you wanna
I, I know you think of our kiss
