Lyrics
Ooo oh my Ooo oh my It's hard to look up when you're crossing a river Takes all you got To jump from rock to rock Water in my sock Uncomfortable and silent Take time to stop And look on up Remember where you're going And where you came from Under a pink and purple sky I never worry This is why I gotta spend more time outside Under a watercolor Pink and purple sky Oh my watercolor sky Oh my oh my It's love A little breeze Blowing through the garden The only hope I'm finding As the sun's beating down Mosquitos biting, take my blood Fill your belly, is that enough? Surely you could swallow me whole in time Hmm Under a pink and purple sky I never worry This is why I gotta spend more time outside Under a watercolor Pink and purple sky Oh my what a watercolor sky Oh my oh my Oh my oh my oh my Oh my oh my ooo Oh my (ahh) oh my Oh my ooo Oh my oh my Oh my oh my Oh my oh my oh my Ooo
Look up from the river: pink-purple watercolor sky, garden breeze, mosquitos and all: spend more time outside, never worry.

Track six on I, released ahead of the LP as a single. The DistroKid credit pane lists music and lyrics as Luke Francis Walton, BMI 00579587572. Producer, mixing, recording, drums, bass, guitar, synthesizer, and singing are billed as Scoobert Doobert. Riley Knapp mastered it. The I liner notes also put Lou Roy on background vocals here; this pane does not. It opens as movement mindfulness: it’s hard to look up when you’re crossing a river, all your attention on rock-to-rock and the water in your sock, until the instruction lands (take time to stop and look on up). The reward is the chorus, nature as prescription after the cycle’s harm loops: under a pink and purple sky / I never worry.
What keeps it from toxic positivity is that the beauty stays honest. The garden breeze is the only hope I’m finding, the sun is beating down, and the mosquitos get a verse of dark comedy: surely you could swallow me whole in time. Outside anyway. The I album’s look up song.
