LYRICS
Because we’re
 
holding our own in a great big storm
it’s a great big storm and we’re holding our own
 
I’ve been lost in this maze
losing love losing friends losing faith in chemicals
Afraid one day you’ll find me
asleep above the stars
 
I watch my mother cry
Father time is catching up
I keep the phone by my side
afraid she’ll wake me up to catch the next flight
in time to say goodbye
 
But sometimes I fall asleep at night
to the TV light and it sings
oh ooo whoa oh
One day the sun will break into the room
 
Because we’re holding our own in a great big storm
and though we’re cutting it close
we won’t let go
Oh no I can’t believe
everything falling down around me
but now we’re holding our own
and won’t let go
 
Broken hearts broken homes and broken bones
secret love let me go
You know I gotta find my own way
through mistakes that I can’t change
 
Because there’s beauty in every sin
every single black eye
has some blue like the moon just before the sun shines
No I don’t believe in all the things that they preach
 
But sometimes I fall asleep at night
and I just know you’re smiling at me
Oh ooo whoa oh
one day I’m gonna make this up to you
 
I can’t stand myself
and all the curse words that fall from my mouth
I can’t stand myself
or my legs as they run from the ones here to help
But I just woke up with you next to me
some new air to breathe
and a belief that it’s all gonna be alright
I can’t stand myself
but it’s high time that we gave it a try
and I think I’m gonna finally give myself a new try

LYRICS

Someone sucked the life out of the room
when that someone said goodbye much too soon
I’d hate for you to love me cause you saw me out with someone who
you read about in the news

But I guess that’s what this world is coming to

I watched as your wrists began to bruise
threading ribbons weaving patterns
beautiful and blue
All your late nights came to life
and then died upon just one dislike
Never mind all the people that you moved

But I guess that’s what this world is coming to

So let’s get high under the moonlight
even the stars go right over our head
I think I’m gonna shine in the afterlife
leaving the fight for peace of mind instead

You know that I can’t stop thinkin’ bout you
You’re the source of everything I do
You brought faith to songs I sing
so I went and bought a diamond ring
I wanna spend each night here with you
Yeah you took everything I was
and you turned it into something I’ve become
Good god what’s a boy to do?

But I guess that’s what my life is coming to

I wish that I could say that I was in a “better place” when I found out the news.  It would make for a far more polished and respectable story.  But I think back to that night: praying on the floor at 2am as Tricia went to the bathroom to take the pregnancy test I’d just purchased from Walgreens.  I was scared.  Scared to start working on new music.  Scared of trying again and failing.  Scared of the process of staring at myself through a page and seeing someone that I wasn’t proud of.  Someone that I didn’t like.  Someone that wasn’t ready to be a dad.

I’ve always had some make-believe image in my head of who I would be as a father.  I held on to clear expectations of where I wanted be in my career, my age, my level of self-care, and my maturity.  I basically assumed that I'd have it all together.  But in actuality the hypothetical “dad" version of me looked completely different than the man whose heart was beating out of his chest on the carpet, praying to a god or spirit I hadn’t talked to in months.  When Tricia walked out of the bathroom, I knew. And I knew I had to change.

5 months later we were recording in a remote cabin away from the density that is Seattle.  I was finally having fun in the studio for the first time in years.  Songs were getting made, finally. I was going back to the city once a week to attend a birthing class with Tricia.  When I got back to the cabin the next day, Ryan had made a new beat that would eventually become the song you’re listening to.  Half of it is advice about growing up.  The other half is trying to figure out how to grow up myself.

When you try to escape yourself, life has an interesting way of creating situations that force you to come back.  To look at who you are.  This is why “Growing up” felt like the right song to re-emerge with.  It’s where I’ve been the last year, through all the ups and downs.   We didn’t want to do a big campaign or anything over the top with this.  We just wanted to put out good music, directly to the people that have been here since the beginning.  Thank you for your patience. Hope you enjoy.

And if you’re wondering…

Our daughter, Sloane Ava Simone Haggerty was born 2 months ago on May 29th.  There is nothing like the joy and happiness that comes from bringing a baby into this universe.  She has filled my heart in ways that I never knew were possible.  She is the love of my life.  This song is for her. 

-Ben
