LYRICS ~
I wanna go outside
But it would remind me of my friend who died
I really miss him

I can't remember the last time I cried
I can't remember the last time it was sunny outside

I wanna go outside
But it would remind me of my friend who died
I really miss him

I can't remember the last time I smiled
I can't remember what it was like to be a child

I wanna go outside
But it would remind me of my friend who died
I really miss him

I wanna go outside
But he's out there

I won't go

lyrics:
I'm exhausted
Legs sore
Walking fields
Walking fields
Now the shoreline
Unreachable
Soggy fields
Lower yields
-----I'm exhausted

Muddy riptide
Scratched my board
Pointy pebbles
Dirty pebbles
What a buzzkill
Sun was high enough
Then they scratched her
I got a sunburn
-----I'm exhausted

Take me surfing
In a dream
Even though I'll wake up
Even though I'll wake up
I'll be crying
More than likely
Seeing all those palm trees
And the way you're glowing

Let's go surfing
Right here locally
Let's go surfing
Just a pillow & you & me

Palm Tree Dream (live at the WIUX Station House)

I wanna go outside 
But it would remind me of my friend who died 
I really miss him 
I wanna go outside 
But it would remind me of my friend who died 
I really miss him 

I can't remember the last time I cried 
I can't remember the last time it was sunny outside 

I wanna go outside 
But it would remind me of my friend who died 
I really miss him 
I wanna go outside 
But it would remind me of my friend who died 
I really miss him 

I can't remember the last time I smiled 
I can't remember what it was like to be a child 

I wanna go outside 
But it would remind me of my friend who died 
I really miss him 
I wanna go outside 
But it would remind me of my friend who died 
I really miss him 

I wanna go outside 
But he's out there 

I won't go

Friend Who Died

A tune dedicated to Vyvanse 

~~~lyrics~~~
I know that you just want to 
Help me get shit done 
But it's so hard 
To keep this up with you 

You want to trick me into 
Thinking that there's a flaw 
In my attention span 
That's where you swoop in 

I think that you should spend some time 
Away from me 
Write a paper for my neighbor friend 
She could use a hand 

You need somebody to 
Consume you 
Or you'll face impeding doom 
I'm done giving my cash to you 
I can't keep abusing you

Song 4 Speed

~~~lyrics~~~
It's amazing how much ground you can easily make 
When your gaze is down, toetips anchor ground 
Why would you fixate on all the faraway waves 
When you're close to one? Melt into the sun 

I wish it were sunny out 
He never comes around 
I wish it were sunny out 
So I could see the ground 

I feel crazy, looking out at this Grayscale sky 
It will harm me, it'll open & swallow me 
I want to throw things at it & break the spell 
That it's cast on me & the surfers beside me 

I wish it were sunny out 
He never comes around 
I wish it were sunny out 
So I could feel the ground

~~~lyrics~~~
I can't go surfing on a cow 
As hard as I may try 
I can't go surfing in the soybeans 
Because they'll die 

I wanna ride a wave but 
I'm in the middle of cornfields 
& it's bummin me out 
I just wanna see how it feels 

I can't go surfing on a cow 
As hard as I may try 
I can't go surfing in the soybeans 
Because they'll die 

If I ride over them 
They'll get squished & be goners 
& besides, I don't have a cent 
To repay the fucking farmers 

I can't go surfing on a cow 
As hard as I may try 
I can't go surfing in the soybeans 
Because they'll die 

I can't go surfing on a cow 
As hard as I may try 
It won't support me in the water 
& then I'll die
