"Picture You Naked" Lyrics:

I don’t wanna look at you
Give it all away
Even though I did
Just the other day
Is it on my face?
I’m afraid that you’ll make me
Let a little something slip
That I shouldn’t say
With everybody here
Driving me insane
Is it on your brain?
All the ways that you make me

Sit on my hands cause they’re shaking
How do I look at you without breaking?

People always say
Just picture them naked
But we’ve gone all the way
Rounded all of the bases
It doesn’t help my nerves
I just wanna recreate it
Oh, fuck
Now I’m trying not to picture you
Picture you naked

Didn’t mean to touch your hand
Not that you can’t 
But now that we did
I don’t know where we stand
You and me again
Should we kiss, should we make out?

Drowning in anticipation
How do I look at you without breaking?

People always say
Just picture them naked
But we’ve gone all the way
Rounded all of the bases
It doesn’t help my nerves
I just wanna recreate it
Oh, fuck
Now I’m trying not to picture you
Picture you naked

On the couch, on the counter
At my house, doesn’t matter
Go to yours if you’d rather
I picture you naked
In my car, at the door
In my bed, on the floor
I’ve stopped keeping score
I picture you naked

People always say
Just picture them naked
But we’ve gone all the way
Rounded all of the bases
It doesn’t help my nerves
I just wanna recreate it
Oh, fuck
Now I’m trying not to picture you
Picture you naked

Trying not, trying not to
Picture you naked
Trying not, trying not to
Picture you naked
I don’t know how to stop, I
Picture you naked
Trying not, trying not to
Picture you naked

Picture You Naked

"Ginsberg" Lyrics:

I’ve been walking aimlessly lately 
Someone on the internet hates me 
Don’t know where I live 
I don’t know where I’ll die 
Never been in love with a stranger 
All my broken hearts are on paper 
Maybe I’d get further if I didn’t try 

Between oceans 
Shopping cart coasting 
Find a high in a midnight drive to feel 
An emotion 
And put it in motion 
For a moment it’s mine 

For a moment it’s mine

I’ve been getting drunk with musicians 
Allen Ginsberg’s my new religion 
Staying up til 3 watching TV 
Ghosts of movies past, can they see me? 
All my friends, they like different places 
So we go everywhere just to chase the
People we were last year 
And the future’s weird 
But now we’re right here 
Yeah, we’re right here 

Between oceans 
Shopping cart coasting 
Find a high in a midnight drive to feel 
An emotion 
And put it in motion 
For a moment it’s mine

For a moment in time
For a moment it’s mine

And I see something in the morning
Wake to rain pouring
Peace that I’ve been waiting on
And I see something in a poem
That calls me to compose them
Capture it before it’s gone
And I see something in the journey
I’m not in a hurry
I don’t have a lot to prove
And I see something worthwhile
In smiling like a child
Out here getting lost with you

Find a high on a midnight drive with you
For a moment you’re mine

Between oceans 
Shopping cart coasting 
Find a high in a midnight drive to feel 
An emotion 
And put it in motion 
For a moment it’s mine

For a moment in time
For a moment it’s mine

"December" Lyrics:

December was nice before I’d ever had a lover 
Now I just cry at people caring for each other
Seems like the nights are falling darker than ever
Thought I would like it til it felt like forever
And it’s cold out
Was it this cold out
When I was little and I liked when it snowed out
I can’t remember but I still feel your sweater
Overheating in the summer now I’m cold in December

December was fine before I ever learned to travel
Now I’m in line marking my baggage as fragile
They tell me home is where my heart is beating steady
But lately it’s split between a couple different cities
And I miss you
Why do I miss you
On a plane miles and miles away, I’m still with you
We’re touching down but I still feel you at my center
You were home back in August now I’m alone in December

And so I have to change with the seasons
Let the autumn fall away with you leaving
I can disappear in the cold
Like every other year, hide in holiday cheer
And at night I’ll face all my demons
Summer’s when they hibernate, now I’m freezing
What I wouldn’t do
To be a kid, be at home, be with you
What I wouldn’t do

December was mine when I could tolerate the weather
When it made me smile to see anybody together
I can still hope that January will be better
Used to call it getting older now I call it December

December

"Strong Woman" Lyrics:

I don’t put up with your shit
When you tell me things that aren’t true
Like you know what you’re doing
Boy, I see right through you
I don’t let you boss me round
Cause I know exactly what I want
But sometimes I want you

And it’s not because you’re right for me
And it’s not because I’d like to be
Another of your strong women
Baby, I know you like strong women
Baby, you know I’m a strong woman
But you make me weak

Now I don’t know who I am
When you don’t text me back right away
Are you out with her
Or are you just not awake?
And maybe you’ll notice me
If I do seven or eight of these shots
But then what would I say?

And it’s not because you’re right for me
But sometimes I think I’d like to be
Another of your strong women
Baby, I know you like strong women
Maybe if I was a strong woman
You’d want me
You’d want me

So you act like you don’t have power
But I feel you pulling my strings
Breaking me down as you show me
Just who you’d like me to be
Now I’m exactly what you wanted
I’m your dream come true
Mean and strong and brave and honest
To everybody but you

And it’s not because you’re right for me
But I’d like to be
Your strong woman
I know you like strong women
But if I was a strong woman
I’d leave

At the age of 22 Ethan Surman has spent a lifetime honing his craft. A true multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and songwriter. A melding of Pop music fervor and static bedroom recordings. Rounding out an eclectic sound that skirts the lines of R&B, Indie, and Hip Hop.

Drawing inspiration from the likes of Dominic Fike, Daniel Caesar, Tame Impala, Stevie Wonder and the Beatles, Surman has formed an homage to the profoundly emotional works that raised him. Encapsulated in passionate writings and lyricism, as well as a visceral and moving live performance. Slamming together characters collected from rock bands with vocalists who bring soaring harmonies while adding moving piano melodies.

Having moved on from a scholarship at the Berklee College of Music, and recordings with world class producers in the works, Ethan Surman is a musician on the cusp of a bright expansion.
