Lyrics:
I rehearse a couple conversations in my head while
You rehearse your outfit in the mirror
Draw me out and sketch a picture with your colored pens, you're
Vincent Van and I'm back in your hand

Why do I always dream of you without your raincoat
Why don't we duck under the doorway wait it all out

Why don't we make a mistake
You say and grin
We could be walking back the way we came
But instead we end up going for a swim, please
Take it back a couple hours
Take it back we'll make it ours
Halfway home we're overgrown and wet up to our waists
We use to say it would keep us awake

Why do I always dream of you without your raincoat
Why don't we duck under the doorway wait it all out
Why do I always dream of you without your raincoat
Why don't we duck under the doorway wait it all out

Lyrics:

Broken down in another small town
Pretty sure that's how we all started
With summer rain storms baring their teeth at the sun
You're pretty short lived for another at six foot one

I've heard it gets easier
I've heard it get swept under the rug

Are you home or is this a rest
Have you been thinking too much for us?
A short walk from the water and a parking space
It seems alright, enough to spark and pace

Underground or eaten up
They trampled leaves, left bite marks
I'm pretty sure your short rest won't do you good
With your eyes closed bury your breath in smoke
Bury your breath

I've heard it gets easier
And I've heard it get swept under the rug

I've seen it get easier
And I've seen it get swept under the rug

Pretty Sure

Tristan spent the last year zigzagging across the country, collecting stories and wearing out his tires. He fell in and out of love in Washington, broke an axle in Colorado, and left South Dakota as quick as he came. He brought with him an album’s worth of songs - a self reckoning of splintered dreams and memories. Recorded on his family’s ranch in rural Washington and polished off in Chicago, Sitting With a Stranger holds the city lights in one hand and the pine trees in the other.

LYRICS:

Always getting over someone
Ever since I left the light on
Never looked at me the same

Stretching out and you fold over
Into someone else's shoulder
Never looked at me the same

You were only someone else's smile
You were always just another mile
From me

Slipping into falling when the
Gravel shifts right underneath us
Never looked the same to me

Rising tide with ankles under
Hiding heels in murky water
Never looked the same to me

You were only someone else's smile
You were always just another mile
From me

Always getting over someone

Always Getting Over Someone

Lyrics:
Here's someone who looks the same
I shook his hand, nearly couldn't shake his grasp
No wonder we fall asleep early and we sleep too late
We took his advice and we closed our eyes

Some other has been running me
And I'm losing every sprint for their cold reasons
All ready? He asks every minute every day
And I've found myself an enemy
Always in my way

Soon you couldn't tell us apart
He wears the same clothes and he walks like me
She said it was an accident, she didn't know
But shouldn't she know, out of everyone

So we unpack the third move this year
And the welcome party knocks on our new door
I think you can guess who it must have been
And a couple weeks later we left again
We left again
We left again

Some other has been running me
And I'm losing every sprint for their cold reasons
All ready? He asks every minute every day
And I've found myself an enemy
Always in my way

So if we head for harsher climates
Or spend enough time away from roads
I hear he won't find his way through old growth
So maybe we can grow old there?

Some other has been running me
And I'm losing every sprint, for their cold reasons
Already, she asks where I've been all week?
And I told her it's the death of me
Always in my way
