Over time the lyrics settled and this song anchors on the thoughts in the bridge saying ‘I don’t know if this will be my forever love but it’s my only love for now’.

It’s easy to put pressure on a long term relationship but through this song I remembered to enjoy each moment and not take things too seriously.”You can watch the video for the song here:‘Teething’ album tracklisting:1 – ‘Marmite’2 – ‘Unpredictable’3 – ‘Don’t Talk To Me’4 – ‘Endlessly Waiting’5 – ‘My Only Love’6 – ‘Ghost’7 – ‘Stranger’8 – ‘Sweet Risk’9 – ‘Gutter Punch’10 – ‘You Should Know Me’11 – ‘Slow Down’Speaking about the video, director Maxi McLachlan explained: “I came up with the idea that I wanted to show Egg travelling between snapshots of love between real couples, friends and lovers, jumping in and out of photos.
