Palehound shifts from “Company” into the joyful wonder of “Aaron,” a song Kempner wrote for her partner in the midst of his transitioning process. “It’s about the past year of him coming out and me helping him through that, and just watching him grow so much,” she says.

Aaron Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your mother wanted to name you Aaron, but her body built you as a different man
And, my friend, if you want me to, I'll call you Aaron
I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, Aaron, I can
[Verse 2]
You sing your song with your back turned to me, your body's shaking, voice certain still
And if closing my eyes will help you turn around, Aaron
I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will
I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will
I will, I will, I will, I will, Aaron, I will
[Chorus]
And the water's warm but it still stings your shins when you are wading in
And it's worth the swim, I feel so weightless
Rid of our bodies, come and float with me
[Verse 3]
Your father wanted to take you shopping for something to wear on his wedding day
And when I saw you standing there with your shirt tucked in, well
I caved, I caved, I caved, I caved, I caved, I caved
I caved, I caved, I caved, I caved, I caved, I caved
I caved, I caved, I caved, I caved, Aaron, I caved
[Chorus]
And the water's warm but it still stings your shins when you are wading in
And it's worth the swim, I feel so weightless
Rid of our bodies, come and float with me
[Verse 4]
You live your life with your back turned to me, your body's swaying, voice steady in stance
And if shutting my mouth will help you turn around, Aaron
I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can
I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can
I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can
I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can
I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can
I can, I can, Aaron, I can
