daydreaming
I opens in the classroom window: coastal escape as daydream you can share: Pacific train, Santa Ana air, San Diego sand, come over.

Track one on I, the LP’s front door, released ahead of the album as a single and the first step into the second Möbius turn after MÖB’s inward loop.
The classroom window is the old escape fantasy updated for California: drive down the coast, a permanent vacation. Not a plan yet, a daydream with infrastructure. What keeps it from being a postcard is that it’s shared. Wish you were here names the distance, but it’s closer than you know collapses it, and the album that follows is mostly how that invitation gets lived.
Also released as a standalone single ahead of the LP. See: Catalog.
Written, performed, and mixed by Luke Francis Walton. Mastered by Riley Knapp. Artwork by Grizzard Graphics.
Lyrics
Ah Oh Staring out the classroom window Thinking bout a drive Down the coast Looking at the water And I know A permanent vacation Day dreaming Of a sunny place Ride a tidal wave Never too far away From the warm water What a sweet escape We can slip away To a sunnier day Pacific Ocean Out the window pane First class in the coastal train Emotionally entertained Day dreaming about it Day dreaming You can meet me there In the back of your brain By the waterfall Feel the ocean air Running through your hair The Santa Ana's calling San Diego sand be coating Every inch of every toe Like a souvenir Wish you were here But it's closer than you know So, come over Day dreaming Of a sunny place Ride a tidal wave Never too far away From the warm water What a sweet escape We can slip away To a sunnier day Pacific Ocean Out the window pane First class in the coastal train Emotionally entertained Day dreaming about it Pacific Ocean Out the window pane First class in the coastal train Emotionally entertained Always be my reason For day dreaming Day dreaming I'm day dreaming Day dreaming Day dreaming Day dreaming Day dreaming Day dreaming
