about

In this song, I am singing to a friend or maybe myself in a situation where substances are being consumed. It's a reminder to take it slow and to know your limit, because it's pretty easy to get carried away when you're with friends! It's also a reminder that if you breach your limit and you start to lose control, it's gonna be ok.

TIP: these reminders can be helpful in situations other than just consuming substances.

lyrics

Smoke up, Danny
in the kitchen with your friends
you're having a blast
having a ball again

don't choke, Danny
be cool, be smooth, be chill
If you don't remember
everyone else will

oh baby
wipe those tears away
oh darling
dance like there' no today
cuz oh baby
there's no need to be afraid
you gotta get up, you gotta get down
just go with the change

go, go danny
forget about all your shit
look at your sneakers,
lovin' the way they fit

You're so close danny
i swear you're almost there
thrilled by the rush
of this love affair

oh baby
wipe those tears away
oh darling
dance like there's no today
cuz oh baby
there's no need to be afraid
you gotta get up, you gotta get down
just go with the change

you gotta get up, you gotta get down
just go with the change
you gotta get up, you gotta get down
just go with the change
