[Intro]
I just don't see a whole lot of sun
And lately, I just can't seem to have any fun
I look outside my window
It's so dark, I feel my eyes begin to close

[Chorus]
Seasonal depression's got me sleeping off the days
And I've wasted all my time feeling grey
When the sun peeks out, I sit outside
To bask in my tiny bit of a light
To warm the cold that I feel inside

[Verse 1]
Been locked up in here with the rain coming down
I tried to fool myself to lift up my frown
But a cup of tea and a nap don't solve my problems
I don't like LA 'cept for tacos and Venice
But God, I would move, get some rays and play tennis
And tell my Lyft driver to turn up the volume

[Chorus]
Seasonal depression's got me sleeping off the days
And I've wasted all my time feeling grey
When the sun peeks out, I sit outside
To bask in my tiny bit of a light
To warm the cold that I feel inside

[Verse 2]
We're all just trying to get by
Searching desperately for bits of blue in the sky
Sometimes, it's hard to wake on up
It takes more than loads of coffee in your cup

[Chorus]
'Cause seasonal depression's got us sleeping off the days
And we've wasted all our time feeling grey
When the sun peeks out, we sit outside
To bask in our tiny bit of a light
To warm the cold that we feel inside

​mxmtoon

mxmtoon (pronounced em-ex-em-toon) is the moniker of Maia (born July 9, 2000), an Oakland-based singer, songwriter, and ukulele player. mxmtoon has a considerable online following, amounting to the hundreds of thousands, and successfully links conceptually relatable songs with goofy, self-deprecating music videos, of which evoke emotions across the gamut—everything from belly-laughing to weeping. She carries a persona that can be described as passionate, genuine, and warm; a friend who can be relied on through even the most emotionally challenging of times.

mxmtoon covers a wide range of conceptual themes in her music; such themes include matters regarding friendship, romance, body confidence, identity and teenage insecurities. She often uses a ukulele for accompaniment and has a distinctly unique musical sound characterized by elements of indie and bedroom pop, as well as slightly laconic lyrical delivery and sometimes unconventional melodic constructs. This style shined all throughout her debut EP plum blossom, which was recorded from the confines of her parents' guest room, and was released on December 7, 2018.

Nine months later, the Cavetown produced effort that was her debut full-length album the masquerade was released in September 17, 2019, followed by dawn and dusk in April 22, 2020 and October 1, 2020 respectively, with the latter two later being integrated into dawn & dusk, which was released on November 5, 2020.
