Lyrics: 
Some things are still stuck inside my head
Some days are still better than the rest
I started to like you less and less
And since we met, my life’s been a mess

I hate you 
You’re the worst best friend I ever had
So thank you
Cause nothing else could be that bad

I embrace you
And all you did was stab me in the back
So thank you
Cause now all I can do is laugh

You only like to talk about yourself
Do you ever think about anything else?
You never bothered to ask me how I felt
You were too busy staring in the mirror at yourself

I hate you 
You’re the worst best friend I ever had
So thank you
Cause nothing else could be that bad

I embrace you
And all you did was stab me in the back
So thank you
Cause now all I can do is laugh

I think that we both need closure
Don’t ask if I’m coming over
I’d rather stay here, stuck inside my head
You’ve only filled me with a whole lot of regret

I hate you 
You’re the worst best friend I ever had
So thank you
Cause nothing else could be that bad

I embrace you
And all you did was  stab me in the back
So thank you
Cause now all I can do is laugh

Lyrics: 
We both know I’m your placeholder
I’m stuck waiting, getting older
We both know you’re my placeholder
You hate crying on my shoulder

I see all of my delusions, I look the other way
I’ve been feeling like a nuisance, I take it day by day
I don’t think we’re closer
I know that we’re getting older

I talk too much, it’s funny how I’m always wrong
I try too hard, all the best things take too long
And I’m sick of waiting
Cause I’ve waited way too long

I see all of my delusions, I look the other way
I’ve been feeling like a nuisance, I take it day by day
I don’t think we’re closer
I know that we’re getting older

We both know I’m your placeholder
I’m stuck waiting, getting older
We both know you’re my placeholder
You hate crying on my shoulder

But you’re not the only one
It feels like it sometimes
But you’re not the only one
We both feel dead inside

I see all of my delusions, I look the other way
I’ve been feeling like a nuisance, I take it day by day
I don’t think we’re closer
I know that we’re getting older

We both know you’re my placeholder (But you’re not the only one, it feels like it sometimes)
You hate crying on my shoulder (But you’re not the only one, we both feel dead inside)

Lyrics: 
I came, I left
No more wasteland
I ran, I’m gone
No more wasteland

You got me thinking this is it
You got me thinking this is the end
You got me thinking this is it
You got me leaving this wasteland

I’ve been wasteful
I’m not ungrateful
I just got my plate full and I’m filling my face

Stop acting hateful
I’m not an angel
You gotta save yourself from this place

You got me thinking this is it
You got me thinking this is the end
You got me thinking this is it
You got me leaving this wasteland

I tripped on the way back
I’m falling and hate that
I’m buried in trash to my neck

Nothing to say now
I’m still stuck from the waist down
Climbing my way out of this mess

I watch the best things go to waste
‘Til I got nothing
I don’t belong here anyway
So I hit the ground running

You got me thinking this is it
You got me thinking this is the end
You got me thinking this is it
You got me leaving this wasteland

I came, I left
No more wasteland
I ran, I’m gone
No more wasteland

No more wasteland

You got me thinking this is it
You got me thinking this is the end
You got me thinking this is it
You got me leaving this wasteland

Lyrics:
Well darling, you’re not so likable
Well darling, you don’t have mind control

I used to like you a lot
But that was such a long time ago
I used to like you a lot
Way before all the things I now know

Don’t think I forgot
Oh yeah, I used to like you a lot
But you treat me like trash

It’s always non stop
Why do you treat me so bad?
I used to like you a lot
How funny is that?

Well darling, you’re not so likable
Well darling, you don’t have mind control

I used to like you a lot
But that was such a long time ago
I used to like you a lot
Way before all the things I now know

Don’t think I forgot
It went on too long
I used to like you a lot
But you treated me wrong

It’s always non stop
Like I didn’t belong
I used to like you a lot
I’m so glad you’re gone

Well darling, you’re not so likable
Well darling, you don’t have mind control

I used to like you a lot
But that was such a long time ago
I used to like you a lot
Way before all the things I now know 
I used to like you a lot

Lyrics:
Now we’re both dead inside
It’s true
No thanks to you, no thanks to you
It’s true
No thanks to you, no thanks to you

I can’t help you
You’ve been drowning on your own
You won’t help me
You sunk your ship and took me along

I am thinking bout the future
Much to my chagrin 
I’m stuck thinking bout tomorrow
My demise is imminent 

I’ve been thinking bout my last breath
But the circle never ends
I’m still thinking bout the ending
I can feel it coming quick

I can’t help you
You’ve been drowning on your own
You won’t help me
You sunk your ship and took me along

I feel so sick of losing 
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m so sick of whatcha doing
Yeah, yeah, yeah

You think that you’re right when you’re wrong
I really stuck by your side too long
Yeah, yeah, yeah
My time here has passed

I can’t help you
You’ve been drowning on your own
You won’t help me
You sunk your ship and took me along

And now I’m jumping off the side
Cause you took me for a ride
When I asked you to stop
Then you made me facedive
Cause you wouldn’t let me off
Then you fed me tons of lies
Now we’re both dead inside

It’s true
No thanks to you, no thanks to you
It’s true
No thanks to you, no thanks to you

I can’t help you
You’ve been drowning on your own
You won’t help me
You sunk your ship and took me along

I can’t help you
You’ve been drowning on your own
You won’t help me
You sunk your ship and took me along

Battleship

Tilt At The Wind No More

Smoke & Ribbons

I've been writing music most of my life. Songs have always been the place where I've sorted out the events of day. If you trace these songs back far enough they tell a story of where I've been and what I've seen along the way. That said, most people don't have the time to sort through the hundreds of songs that have collected in the wake of my 20 plus years behind a piano, and that's why I love "Cecilia and the Satellite". As a song it encapsulate so much living against the back drop of a new life. Cecilia was written with the knowledge that my wife and I would soon meet our first child. With the hope of avoiding territory this type of song often treads, I tried to create a road map of the life I had lived leading up to that moment. One my daughter might look back on some day. A strange life of constant motion, spent traveling in the pursuit of music. A life I’ve nearly lost on more than one occasion and one which I am thankful for, now more than ever. Deep down this song is about more than me and where I’ve been, it’s about more than my daughter and what I want for her. It’s about being proud of where you come from and wanting the most for the people you share your world with.

Keep an eye out for tour dates on Monday!

LYRICS
I’ve locked myself in a hotel room
Then waited all night for the walls to move
I've loved some girls that I barely knew
I’ve made some friends, and I’ve lost some too
 
Crashed my car, I was seventeen
My mother in the seat riding next to me
The things I’ve learned from a broken mirror
How a face can change when a heart knows fear
 
For all the things my eyes have seen, the best by far is you
 
If I could fly, then I would know
What life looks like from up above and down below
I’d keep you safe, I’d keep you dry
Don’t be afraid, Cecilia, I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
 
Oh, Oh
 
I've café crawled through Amsterdam
Been around the world with a punk rock band
And I’ve seen London, and I’ve played Japan
I’ve been knocked down, I got up again
 
For all the places I have been, I’m no place without you
 
If I could fly, then I would know
What life looks like from up above and down below
I’d keep you safe, I’d keep you dry
Don’t be afraid, Cecilia, I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
 
Oh, Oh
I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
 
For all the things my hands have held, the best by far is you
 
If I could fly, then I would know
What life looks like from up above and down below
I’d keep you safe, I’d keep you dry
Don’t be afraid, Cecilia, I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
And you’re the sky
I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
And you’re the sky

High Dive

This song was written towards the end of my time in Topanga Canyon. I wanted to have something on the album with a real California flavor that spoke to the throwback qualities of living in the canyon. I remember going into the session with Kevin and Sam with California Dreamin as a reference track. Canyon moon is a story about a girl who loses herself in this idyllic, west coast fantasy world and has to get out. The theme of escape is one I've always enjoyed writing about and there is something haunting about this track and it's lack of resolution that I find really charming. 

LYRICS
The sun ran out on a cold October
Somewhere under the canyon moon
Camera jammed in a slow exposure
California in her rear view

She couldn’t handle another season
Another ocean of fiction blue
Said a prayer to a dashboard Jesus,
Death Valley and worn out shoes

Then the road turned into desert everywhere
The sun ran out on a cold October
She disappeared, she disappeared

Take all your troubles, put them to bed
Burn down the mission, the maps in your head
Shot like a bullet, don’t know the way
The ricochet, kind of got away from you

The leaves are falling, the church bells ringing
Marching band in a high school dream
Little town and a faded beauty
They still remember when she was queen

Then the road turned into desert everywhere
The leaves are falling, the church bells ringing
She disappeared, she disappeared
