about

the intro verse was written on a drive up to Spencer Mountain to pick up some produce. rest of the song was written reflecting on my lack of a "coming out" moment & processing some of that

lyrics

Oh boys in tight blue jeans are driving me crazy
Boys in tight blue jeans with legs that go for days
Boys in tight in blue jeans are driving me wild
With their poise and impeccable style

I never came out
I never told my friends about the boys I kissed and could not resist
I never came out
I know my daddy had some doubts- when I said I’m straight
With makeup on my face

I didn’t have language for the way I felt
Been taught since I was born to other everybody else
And If I was one of me,
I could not be one of them
Rainbow loving boys who chose to live in sin
I’m not saying all of this because I’m proud
I never came out

I never came out
I only told my brother how I’d spent the night in bed with pretty men
I never came out
I fell in love before I ever found the words to say
I’m not straight or gay

I don’t know that it matters to anybody else
But I think it’s important to embrace the fullness of yourself
And I am learning all the ways I let misogyny
Suppress all of the feminine inside of me
It’s pretty sad, but all of that feminine energy is still inside of me

I never came out
I didn’t think that it mattered now that I was married & settled down
I never came out
Until I found sexuality isn’t just who you kiss: it’s part of your identity
