Save Me a Drawer

A brighter little bonus track from the world of If My Violin Had Words. Where the album moves through memory, survival, longing, and finding language for emotions that first lived in violin melodies, “Save Me a Drawer” opens the window a little wider. It is playful, romantic, upbeat, and full of that early-love feeling — when you start imagining the small domestic details before you even know if you should. A drawer. A toothbrush. A key. A place in someone’s everyday life. This song is about falling fast, feeling hopeful, and wanting to build something ordinary and beautiful with someone — not as a rescue, but as a shared beginning.
