Going on 8 years of marriage. It is work, and if I quit when it got hard, I’d never experience the depth of love that I have for this woman. This song features my wife on the hook.

Enjoy!

Duet

A song about estranged relationships with people and vices.

Stated Lines

Long Pond

Low lit energy, vibes she’s sending me
No questions, no doubts, mixed messaging
This conflicts with the mental pictures of my family in my mind pestering
I’d prefer not to receive you texts, dissect intent in strings of lettering
I’m bettering myself
I’ve set aside cocktails
Why?
I’ve been derailed by these females, I’ll spare details
What can I say, these IPA’s, they paved a way
And without fail I would go back on what I’d say when I was sober the next day cleaning up the mess that I’ve made
That was then, this is now
Then still matters, pardon manners
We were tattered, we were battered
We were dreary, we were weary
Clearly we’re not seeing clearly 
Barely steering, nearly veering off
And merely ending feelings of endearment since our meeting

I like this low key, slipping off your clothing
Will I say the right lines, slip away in night time
I don’t know where we went wrong
Momentum building faster
Allowed to go on too long
Inevitable disaster 
Back un-arched
Back on earth
Mind set to mend what’s hurt
You’ve been striving, you’ve been fighting
Toiled soil, un-earthed dirt

Low Lit Low Key

I said “set go” but girl we’re you ready
To give me your heart with terms to go steady
Crossed fingers and high hopes
Composing goodnight notes
Don’t leave me on read with a heart feeling heavy

I want you so bad
I want to act on that
I’ll go to Ohio 
Wont rest my eyes til this divides gone 

Hating the fact we about to lose contact
Sleeping without you is quite the contrast
If you tell me you need me I will Inbound back
Inbound back
In and out of transit
Strained relationships 
If you’re scared I’ll be there
Inbound back count that 

You said you’re not for show
You fit form to be held close
You insisted we go slow 
If I don’t you had the rights to head home 
Now here’s the zone I’m in 
I’ll lose more than I can win 
Tell me where do I begin 
Girl, if only you knew that I’m trying

Inbound Back

Akron, the city I love to leave from and come back to. 

We are not Cleveland.

Akron

Lyrics

Tell me where it is we’re heading and the outcome
I want to get home on time to kiss and tuck in all of my loved ones 
No more running into someone
Asking me to do something wrong 
Figures I had to go wandering way off 
Then regrettably I’m stumbling the day of
Count my cases with a cadence 
The guarding of my heart is keeping me from going all in

Hey you 
What’s new
Eyes see 
Right through
Delight
In you
Despite 
The truth
Take aim
And shoot
I’m in
Pursuit
1 day
2 days
3 days
Too soon 

Wanna go 
Hit the road
Only us
Set it up
In a car
In a plane
On a boat
In a bus
