“Pastel” is the first song on Moose Blood’s second full-length album Blush. The song captures the lead singer’s insecurities about leaving home for touring. He wants to know what his wife and stepdaughter really think about him leaving and wants them to know that he’ll always come home.
[Verse 1]
It's been a few years now
And girl, I'm sleeping better than I ever have
Have I let you down? It's harder now
You've just gotta tell me when you miss me 'cause I'm barely around
[Pre-Chorus]
Does she mind at all, does she get it?
On that walk to school, just forget it
'Cause I'll be back when you get home
[Chorus]
Tell me, is it worth it for you? Say I'm not being selfish
And is it working for you? It's okay, I can take it
I need you to say it so I don't overthink it
She's too young to show it, I need her to understand it
[Verse 2]
So we're married now
And girl I'm feeling better than I ever have
Don't wanna let you down 'cause I'm growing up
I'm in no rush to slow down 'cause I don't know how
[Pre-Chorus]
Does she mind at all, does she get it?
On the walk to school, just forget it
'Cause I'll be back when you get home
[Chorus]
Tell me, is it worth it for you? Say I'm not being selfish
And is it working for you? It's okay, I can take it
I need you to say it so I don't overthink it
She's too young to show it, I need her to understand it
[Outro]
You know you have me, you know you have
You know you have me, you know you have
You know you have me, you know you have...
You know you have me
