when i get mine (demo)

This song is dedicated to the memory of Connor "The Doctor" Cunningham.

Vocals and Guitar: Harrison Gorden
Bass: Cooper Gillen
Piano: Forrest Finn
Production: Harrison Gorden, Ryan Wasoba, and Cooper Gillen

You called yourself a doctor, 
spreading laughter like disease,
with a smile that cut so deep,
but now we frown.

It's amazing how they hit you,
when you're already on your knees,
bringing your troubles to relief,
you're in the ground.

Wish you could explain what I can't see.
You were the Doctor to everyone, but a brother to me.
So I will fight back this pain and let it be.
Though your time on earth is done, you're as alive as the trees.

So keep kinging,
keep singing.

Now you're buried six feet under,
where the water barely seeps,
where our tears will never reach,
as they fall down.

I will run and tell another,
of the joy that you will bring,
where the music never sleeps,
you earned your crown.

Wish you could explain what I can't see,
You were the Doctor to everyone, but a brother to me,
So I will fight back this pain and let it be,
Though your time on earth is done, you're as alive as the trees.

So keep singing,
keep singing.

Now you're high above the rooftop,
where for tobacco we would sneak,
and I can't help but to think,
you're with me now.

Don't you ever stop your singing,
a shepherd never leaves his sheep,
an angel never needs his sleep,
stay with me now.

Wish you could explain what I can't see,
you were the Doctor to everyone, but a brother to me,
so I will fight back this pain and let it be,
though your time on earth is done, you're as alive as the trees.

So keep singing,
keep singing

Now you're buried six feet under,
where the water barely seeps,
where our tears will never reach,
as they fall down.

Wish you could explain what I can't see,
you were the Doctor to everyone, but a brother to me,
so I will fight back this pain and let it be,
though your time on earth is done, you're as alive as the trees.

So keep singing,
keep singing,
keep singing,
for me. 



the doctor (demo)

You know those were the good days
You and I and some champagne
Time slips by and some things change
Was it better than before
Was it better then, before

Better when we were together
That summer we smoked by the river
Chokin' cause we were beginners
Back when this life was so simple
You were my dime
I was your nickel
Better together, together forever
At least we thought

It's so much closer in the rearview
Didn't ever want to fall away from you
Saving lies just to hide the truth
Never realized I'd be losing you
Losing you
Was it real or was it just a fluke
Me and you
Is it just something slight
We're going through
You were never one to fight
But left me bruised
Now you're just in my
Just in my rearview
Now you're just in my
Just in my rearview

It was better when we were together
Knew you were smart
Thought I was clever
You held me down
I fold under pressure
I thought we were forever

It's so much closer in the rearview
Didn't ever want to fall away from you
Saving lies just to hide the truth
Never realized I'd be losing you
Losing you
Was it real or was it just a fluke
Me and you
Is it just something slight
We're going through
You were never one to fight
But left me bruised
Now you're just in my
Just in my rearview

Guess I'm probably the one to blame
Left your heart for a different state
Making moves and just chasing fame

Now what I'm feeling is a different pain
First class on a crashing plane
Different picture but a broken frame
Wishin' I could find the words to say

It's so much closer in the rearview
Didn't ever want to fall away from you
Saving lies just to hide the truth
Never realized I'd be losing you
Losing you
Was it real or was it just a fluke
Me and you
Is it just something slight
We're going through
You were never one to fight
But left me bruised
Now you're just in my
Just in my rearview
Now you're just in my
Just in my rearview

rearview

a song of mine from a few years back for a love that still feels new.

guitar and vocals: harrison gorden
production: Ryan Wasoba, Bird Cloud Recordings

lyrics: 

the words left unspoken
are the promises i've broken
with myself
and i tell her everything
the way that life can often seem
like hell

and i think of all the ways
she will spend her days 
when she's gone
and i know i'm gonna miss
the way we used to kiss 
when she moves on

and i thought 
i could
just think about the good times
and i thought
i should
just leave it all behind
and i though 
i would 
tell you what's on my mind
i know 
that i'm 
really in love this time

and i'm a promise maker
but my promises will break her 
again
and i'll send her a letter
that says i hope you're doing better
than i am

oh, and i thought 
i could
just think about the good times
and i thought
i should
just leave it all behind
and i though 
i would 
tell you what's on my mind
i know 
that i'm 
really in love this time

you can close your eyes
but i'll be up all night 
i know.
yea i know its not our time
but you're still on my mind
i can't let you go
i won't let you go 

oh, and i thought 
i could
just think about the good times
and i thought
i should
just leave it all behind
and i though 
i would 
tell you what's on my mind
i know 
that i'm 
really in love this time




this time (demo)

thinkin of a waste of time
i'm gonna spark one up and waste more of mine
a ways from the way things used to be

i've been keepin to myself
cause i don't need nobody else
i'm useless without you
you're all i need

i would sail across the world 
just to reach you
i would swim across the widest of seas
it might take me quite a while
but i will meet you
why move on when we could make more memories

woah oh oh oh
i won't let you go
woah oh oh oh 
i won't let you go

off the bottle til its hard to swallow
drinkin so i'm still drunk tomorrow
thinkin if you had a dollar
you thought i could borrow
we could roll a couple up

talk about the things that we had
and the stuff on our minds
we used to do that all the time
maybe now you're just lonely
did your brand new homie
go on another flight

i would sail across the world 
just to reach you
i would swim across the widest of seas
it might take me quite a while
but i will meet you
why move on when we could make more memories

woah oh oh oh
i won't let you go
woah oh oh oh 
i won't let you go

i would sail across the world 
just to reach you
i would swim across the widest of seas
it might take me quite a while
but i will meet you
why move on 
why move on 
why move on

why move on 
why move on 
why move on

why move on 
why move on 
why move

woah oh oh oh
i won't let you go
woah oh oh oh 
i won't let you go

i would sail across the world 
just to reach you
i would swim across the widest of seas
it might take me quite a while
but i will meet you
why move on when we could make more memories

i told her call me if you miss me,
but i'm thinking that we're history,
judging by the looks she's sending my way. 

and they ask me if i'm all right,
i said yea i'll be fine tonight,
the same response,
i give every day. 

the truth is i'm lonely,
you were the only one to hold me,
and i haven't felt your love in way too long.

i thought that i might be,
the one that you thought you'd need,
but now i guess i'm moving on.

i learned to count my days,
365 at a time.
another year gone next week,
that's when i get mine.

that's when i get mine.

my grandaddy died way too young,
he said this farmers life ain't for no one,
put the barrel to his head and said i quit.

the alcohol's got a hold of him,
hard times are his only friend,
he said this is the only way to forget. 

i learned to count my days,
365 at a time.
another year gone next week,
when do i get mine.

i learned to count my days,
365 at a time.
another year gone next week,
when do i get mine.

grab my bag and i'm out the door,
no one really knows what for,
i guess life's,
just a little too hard sometimes.

walk up my street,
hang a right,
it'll all be peace tonight,
i've been thinking about this for quite a while. 

i learned to count my days,
365 at a time.
another year gone next week,
when do i get mine.

i learned to count my days,
365 at a time.

this time

see i'm sick of the same old days and same old places
and i'm tired of the pretty girls and all their faces
but now i'm heading down
gettin' out of this town
got an awful lot to figure out
but not for now

i'm a runaway and i don't know where i'm going
maybe down to the hills of tennessee
with my six string and a back pack full of clothing
when i go, i sure hope they remember me

see and sometimes this life can seem too lonely
and i'm feeling fake in a town that's full of phoneys
so i'll break away
escape all the pain
find myself where they don't know my name

i'm a runaway and i don't know where i'm going
maybe down to the hills of tennessee
with my six string and a back pack full of clothing
when i go, i sure hope they remember me

i'm a runaway and i don't know where i'm going
maybe down to the hills of tennessee
with my six string and a back pack full of clothing
when i go, i sure hope they remember me

runaway

if you give then you will receive,
always take what i want,
but forget what i need. 
and i think, 
therefore i do believe, 
i've been blinding myself,
from what i cannot see.

and i feel like i'm needing to breathe,
so i self medicate for a little release.
and i know where i'm meaning to be,
gonna come from behind,
sneak up on defeat.

i find,
you really just gotta face up to your mind,
and let go,
there's no need to question what you already know.
i found,
the best way to speak's without making a sound.
i learned,
if you play with a fire,
you're bound to get burned.

if you're thinking that you need to try,
to start searching for truth,
from beneath all the lies. 
oh and then you begin to realize,
this thought is so old,
and you're too young to die.
you know that you're gonna survive.
it takes some heartbreak,
just to know you're alive.
there's changes awaking inside.
i'm discovering something behind these blue eyes.

i find,
you really just gotta face up to your mind,
and let go,
there's no need to question what you already know.
i found,
the best way to speak's without making a sound.
i learned,
if you play with a fire,
you're bound to get burned.

and all,
these lessons.
all,
these lessons,
i've learned.

lessons

i'm sorry my dear
i know i let you down
i was up in my head
getting lost in the clouds
and i'd take it back
if only i could
to that spring night
when we walked through the woods
we took that spray can
put our names on the wall
now they're painted over
and i know its my fault
i know you're with him
but i promise i'll wait
for that second first kiss
that second first date

i'm so in love
can't get enough
 of you

and i'll be right here
back in your arms
with you resting your head 
against my heart
and i'm feeling your breath
blowing off of my neck
i'll take your hand
put it back on my chest

i'm so in love
can't get enough
i'm so in love
can't get enough
of you

we'll lay right here
under the stars
in the back seat
of my shitty car
staring at you
laying under the moon
smiling at me
hoping you feel it to

no more why are we here
or where are we now
no more playing these games
no more messing around
we're seeing so clear
like looking through glass
we're just two broken pieces
together at last

i'm so in love
can't get enough
i'm so in love
can't get enough
of you

woah
can't get enough
of you
yeah
can't get enough
of you

enough

i’m coming down
stomach’s turning in and out
i think that i should leave this town
it’s not the same without you now

i try to run
and i close my eyes
but you’re there for the thousandth time
and for a while, you still feel like mine

i see us lying 
laying hand in hand
on a ferris wheel in groningen 
and all those evenings staying in

home
don’t feel like home 
without you babe
i think about you
all day, every day

home
don’t feel like home
without you babe
i dream about you
and it takes it all away

it’s been a while
life, yea it happens fast
true love, no it never lasts
i left you buried in my past

i moved on
and i found someone new
then i went and i said i do
but sometimes i still think of you

tonight i’m lying
laying next to him
cause when i close my eyes again
i’ll think of what we might have been 

home
don’t feel like home 
without you babe
i think about you
all day, every day

home
don’t feel like home
without you babe
i dream about you
and it takes it all away

home feels so far away without you
i need one more day around you
i’ve got so much left to say

home
don’t feel like home 
without you babe
i think about you
all day, every day

home
don’t feel like home
without you babe
cause i dream about you
and it takes it all away

home (without you)
