Here's an advance preview of the new album, 'Goodbye, Virginia' due out in 2023!!

Goodbye, Virginia

Lyrics:

I keep thinking about the time, under the Pepsi sign
The sun was high, and in a way, so was I
I told you things I shouldn'ta
You told your friends, why wouldn't ya?
You were born to spill the tea
And you spilled all the tea on me
Wish you saw me, like I saw you
Crazy how far I fall, when everything falls through

But the only thing keeping me down is me
There's a heart-shaped hole where my heart oughta be
I sunk so deep, in a lonely sea
But the only thing keeping me down is me

I catalog my mistakes, by kind and size and date
And on a loop they play til my heart forgets how not to break
I wish I was long and lean, and just the right kind of mean
And then all this hurt would just roll off of me
Wish you saw me, like I saw you
Wish I'd thought it through, before I called you

But the only thing keeping me down is me
There's a heart-shaped hole where my heart oughta be
Yes, I sunk so low, I just couldn't foresee
That the only thing keeping me down is me

Everybody tells me, come on, pick yourself up
Everybody keeps trying to tell me, why don't you pick yourself up
All say, come on, get up, get up, get up
Why can't you just get up, get up, get up
I wish I could just get up, get up, get up
Why can't I just get up, get up, get up

But the only thing keeping me down is me
There's a heart-shaped hole where my heart oughta be
I sunk so deep in a lonely sea
But the only thing keeping me down is me

Yeah, the only thing keeping me down is me
There's a life-sized hole where my life oughta be
If I could just let go, I'd float away on the breeze
But the only thing keeping me down is me

Yeah, the only thing keeping me down is me
There's a heart shape, oh, where my heart oughta be
I guess losing yourself ain't all it's cracked up to be
But the only thing keeping me down is me

Yeah, the only thing keeping me down is me

The Only Thing Keeping Me Down

Lyrics:

I was your satellite
Happy just to catch your light
But never touching, never close
Never the body that you want the most

I was your fan base
Always trying to memorize your face
I'd always root for you to win it all
Daydreamed I'd be the one to catch your fall

But you won't forgive me for wanting to mean more to you
For wanting to mean anything that you would never want me to

Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa

I was your library
Your catalog of secret things
Every word you ever said to me
Committed all to memory

I was your pedestal
Held you up as best I could
If it broke me, that's my own concern
Some lessons I will never learn

But you can't forgive me
For wanting to be more to you
For wanting to be anything
That you would never want me to

Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa

I was your satellite
Happy just to catch your light
No more in orbit, no more in sight
Just drifting through an endless night

Your Satellite

Lyrics:

Bungle, stumble, stutter, fumble, just how I am right out the gate
But if you stayed around, at least until I settled down, we'd find something close to great
See you, lately, with your new compatriot, guess he's close to good enough
I don't wanna be around it, the jealousy compounded, but if you find it gets too rough

You could've had me for a song, I'll build you a stage to sing it on
You could've had me all along
Do you ever think of us together, and does it fill your heart like mine
Or would you rather just climb than kick the ladder, leave my sorry ass behind

You could've had me for a song, I'll build you a stage to sing it on
You could've had me all along
I'd have been yours for just a smile, show it off all pearly white
I could've been yours all the while

I won't carry a torch, but I still might keep a light on
Do what's right for you, but if you change your mind, then right on

You could've had me for a song, I'll build you a stage to sing it on
You could've had me all along
I'd have been yours for just a smile, show it off all pearly white
I could've been yours all the while
You could've had me for a song, I'll build you a stage to sing it on
You could've had me all along

For a Song

Lyrics:

Strip all my paint, expose my hide
I'm in that kind of mood tonight
To speed your pulse, to catch your eye
Trade innocence for alibi

I know when
I've blown it
Here's one more poor showing
I burn my heels, just spin my wheels

When I stand up, the ground gives way
When I wake up, it's still today
I recall necessity
Being the mother of something

I know when
I've blown it
Here's one more poor showing
I burn my heels, just spin my wheels

The losing cause, the lost weekend
The final straw, the bitter end
These are my most unwelcome friends

Strip all my paint, expose my hide
I'm in that kind of mood tonight
I jump the gun, I trip and fall
I try too hard, or not at all

I know when
I've blown it
Here's one more poor showing
The bad news exploded
The good news still encoded
I burn my heels, just spin my wheels
I know when
I've blown it
Here's one more poor showing
I burn my heels, just spin my wheels
Just spin my wheels

Spin My Wheels
