songs on getting older
the strangeness of it all
the sky impossible blue
driving my first car
and all the roads I can remember
hanging out in my old bedroom
regrets roommates and old friends
playing bad shows in tiny coffee shops
the thrill and futility of that time
being young and loud and unafraid
and unconcerned with feeling out of place
the boundless warmth of love
the difficulty of work or things like work
leaving my hometown
and staying gone a long time
the bars the rented houses
smoking and drinking too much
everything about myself in a certain time
that I would throw away if I could but I can't
feeling overextended and underwhelmed
and singing through it all somehow
mostly in key I hope you like it
even if you only listen to the first couple songs
I appreciate it and hope you reach out and say hello

The Sky Impossible Blue

A little time to yourself
To sort it all out
A different feel
A different sound
Let it surround you 

All around it’s caving in
At the end begin again

Begin Again

Look at us now we’re burning out
It’s too late to turn around 
What you’ve become it’s hard to see
You spot it easy in everybody else

Who knows
Who knows
What if nothing
Is nothing?
Is nothing?

Look at us now we’re burning out
Nothing left is chasing you
There goes all those things you want
And there is nothing you can do

Who knows
Who knows
What if nothing
Is nothing?
Is nothing?

What If Nothing

Open up your eyes
It’s time to see it all
Take another ride
An open road in Fall

Far away we find
It’s not so different after all
Run it down the line
Watch it break before if falls

Feel a different vibe
Try it on and see what fits
Lonesome all the time
But you’ve got all your books and all your friends

Far away we find
It’s not so different after all
Run it down the line
Watch it break before if falls

So Late, So Late

Well I started out real slow
Just to see how far it’d go
If I run around in circles singing
Silly songs too loud

Well I guess you oughta know
That it’s been years since my last show
But I got this basement corner
And my two hands

Some dreams you never let them go
And once they’re gone, they’re gone, you know

Well I’ll never sing a hit
I’m too old my voice is shit
But these songs they never stop 
And they’re all mine

Some dreams you never let them go
And once they’re gone, they’re gone, you know

How Far It Goes

Look around you won’t see me
Far away out in the trees
Halos singing in the rain
The slow soft sound of a distant plane

Let’s find some other way
Let’s go through a different phase
I wanna hear what you have to say
I wanna fly to this open space

Look around now we’re three
All the things we say are happy
I’m as high as I can be
Nothing ever feels so free

Let’s find some other way
Let’s go through a different phase
I wanna hear what you have to say
I wanna fly to this open space

Distant Sounds

Curate all your memories
Get it just the way you like
There’s no room ugly truth or honesty
Or weird red eyes or bad light

Walking out will never look cool again
Cowards never age real well
On the Road is only good through a certain lens
For everybody else it’s hell

Look away from everybody’s glance
Soak in the blue light of a screen
You can’t sleep and you won’t laugh or dance
There’s nothing wrong that you can see

Walking out will never look cool again
Cowards never age real well
On the Road is only good through a certain lens
For everybody else it’s hell
