Music & lyrics by Jake Landau

a person flips a coin to decide whether or not to text their ex, but the coin spirals up impossibly high into the sky and doesn't come back down. it is not the only thing spiralling.

"I built us this beautiful universe -- I never dreamed you'd mind.

But I looked so far ahead into us I left you behind."
