about

Written in 2017 after moving back to Dallas from Denver. I was listening to Pet Sounds and the white album back to back one after the other every single day. So I think it made me want to write a catchy, slightly-sappy little love song about these little pet names we call each other. I call Sean a whole bunch of sweet things and he calls me those too. It's one of my favorites to sing because it's so damn sweet.

lyrics

Oh honey
I know that
we don't have much money
but I'm gonna get to sleep tonight
cause, I-- I got you
right where I want ya
you'll spend the night there
right where I want ya
I guess it would be fair to say
I more than want ya,
I need you
Oh darling
I don't have any plans
I'm just stalling
standing somewhere to keep
from falling
for another false truth
but my dear
wild honey pie
I got pet names for you baby
and pet sounds on my mind
but without you
I'd be in an endless blue
ahhh

honey
da-da-da-da-da-da-darling
ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-my dear
wild honey pie

oh honey
da-da-da-da-da-da-darling
ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-my dear
wild honey pie

oh honey
da-da-da-da-da-da-darling
ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-my dear
wild honey pie
