I’ve been bleeding out
Still wondering bout the scars
See you playing shows
Heard you stole that guitar

Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the -

Grapevine
Grapevine

You try to keep it cool
Smoking a big cigar
With your leather gloves
A big man with a car

Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the -

Only Til Morning (Feat. Joe Merlo)

Everyone is trying
To get to the bar
The name of the bar
The bar is called heaven

The band in heaven
They play my favorite song
Play it one more time
Play it all night long

Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens

There is a party
Everyone is there
Everyone will leave
At exactly the same time

It's hard to imagine that
Nothing at all
Could be so exciting
Could be this much fun

Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens

When this kiss is over
It will start again
It will not be any different
It will be exactly the same

It's hard to imagine
That nothing at all
Could be so exciting
Could be this much fun

Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens

Heaven (Talking Heads Cover)

A little sassy like some sugar on Sundays 
Couldn't tell you what Im having on Monday 
David Darling said to get the phonebook 
And call our friends cause we'll be happy to go look 

Oh is he your man now? 
Oh is he your man now? 

Hey now, gotta tell ya 
Running only makes it even harder 
Hey now, won't you listen? 
Lying only shows me what you're missing 
But, if you've got to go home... 

All the wrong reasons 
All the wrong reasons 

Had you waiting could you wait no longer? 
The drunken poet forgot to tell ya 
You're running low on these excuses 
Got me feeling like my loves just useless 

Oh is he your man now? 

Hey now, gotta tell ya 
Running only makes it even harder 
Hey now, won't you listen? 
Lying only shows me what you're missing 
But, if you've got to go home... 

All the wrong reasons 
All the wrong reasons

All The Wrong Reasons

Oh Honey, 
When can we tell the children
That we were young once too?
I know so many things about you
That they might never know
Well do you know what I mean, Love?
I think I'm happy as can be
And only time will tell what we've got
Left to stress about

Oh sometimes I just forget 
How we turned it all around
Well do you remember
Days that we had nothing
Nothing left to lose

Oh Darling, 
When the work days over
I'll come running home
So put on your favorite dress
And grab a toasty coat
And we'll hit the town for drinks with friends
And take the long way home

Oh sometimes I just forget 
How we turned it all around
Well do you remember
Days that we had nothing
Nothing left to lose

When The Work Day Ends

Lyrics:

Darling, can’t you feel the rain on your face?
It seems it’s been so long since I’ve been outside my head

And I know (x4) that you thought I would change
You say I’m cruisin’ for a bruisin’ with the friends that I’ve made
And I know (x4) that you don’t seem to understand what a difference a day could make

Do you ever wonder, babe?
Of course I do
Do you ever see a future without me?
You know that it’s so hard to

But it’s time to move on again
And baby I know you’re there
And I can see through that sarcasm and that daring glare
And it’s so hard to know that you’ll never look at me that way
Ever again, ever again

Your thoughts are taking all my pretty pennies
And I can’t spend no more
Weekend benders just to conquer crooked sadness
And I’m so sorry if I put it on you

And (x3) you’re surprised to admit
But maybe going crazy is just a part of it
And I know (x4) that you didn’t think that you’d make it through the day

But I know that you’re wrong, I’ve been there (I’ve sung that song)
And somehow the days keep coming (Keep coming on)
But that sad man’s orchestras gone home and gone to bed
It’s time to get it together

And it’s time to move on again
And baby I know you’re there
And I can see through that sarcasm and that daring glare
And it’s so hard to know that you’ll never look at me that way
Ever again, ever again

Life’s a subtle, funny, mean old thing
Just see what tomorrow brings
Just don’t show up with empty hands

Time To Move On

Lyrics:

Well now, of all the ways you could’ve gone mad
You’re telling stories that I wish I had
And the madman's got a pretty good point
You always have fun once you get there

Oh my love, you’re running like you’re never free
Please tell me what you really need
And I’ll keep it with me

Keep on running, if you’re finding something
Keep on living, ‘cause life won’t give in
Sometimes, sometimes
Just so you know
You’ve got to wake up
Before you make it known

Go take your ego trip but please don’t forget
All of the baggage that you’re leaving me with 
Was it a pocket-dialed RSVP
When you agreed that the first rounds on me?

Oh my love, you’re running like you’re never free
Please tell me what you really need
And I’ll keep it with me

Keep on running, if you’re finding something
Keep on living, ‘cause life won’t give in
Sometimes, sometimes
Just so you know
You’ve got to wake up
Before you make it known

What they don’t tell you is it’s so hard to see
When it’s darkest before the dawn
And without someone like you near me
It’s getting harder and harder to get through it all
Oh, but what’s this I see? 
An angel come down for someone like me
Someone like me
And she kinda looks like you, baby

Oh my love, you’re running like you’re never free
Please tell me what you really need from me
And I’ll keep it, I’ll keep it with me …

I'll Keep It With Me

Lyrics:

We are the circuitry of mindlessness 
And we stand biting our tongues 
On the forefront of the carnival 
And it’s about to begin

But you know it’s alright
When you’re around
And you know it’s alright, alright
When you’re around

We’ve all got access
And we’re here to entertain
Crying out for an ounce of love
Judging now without a doubt
You’ve been crawling for a glimpse of fame

Oh I wanna go out
But I won’t go out without you
And I wanna sing loud
But I aint no good without you
And I wanna brag about
All the reasons that I love you
But I don’t have the words
So won’t you let me show you

But you know it’s alright
When you’re around
And you know it’s alright, alright
When you’re around

When You're Around

Lyrics:

Can I put you on hold for a moment darling? 
Can I put you on hold for a moment dear? 
I’ve got a couple friends on the phone right next to
Me on the other line

It’s coming over you
And now I can feel it too
I cheers you with my empty glass
The nerves making me drink all too fast
And now I feel like I’ve gotta do 
Something new for you
Can I put you on hold for one last time
Do you mind if I take this call? 

Can I put you on hold for a moment darling? 
Can I put you on hold for a moment dear? 
I’ve got a couple friends on the phone right next to
Me on the other line

Can I put you on hold? 
Can I put you on hold?

Can I put you on hold for a moment darling? 
Can I put you on hold for a moment dear? 
I’ve got a couple friends on the phone right next to
Me on the other line

I put you on hold.

Can I Put You On Hold?

The first single from my upcoming album Children Melting Velvet which comes out on April 5 via 

Lyrics:

I don't wanna be yours anymore 
So please don't come a knockin' 
Please don't come a knockin' 
On my door 

Anymore 

I don't want to be your baby 
So please don't call me maybe 
Please don't call me baby 

Anymore 

Oh, baby can you hear me? 
Baby, can you hear me? 
Now I'm hitting the road 
Going out on my own 
Well, now that you know it 
Now that you know it 
Go ahead and show it 
Let the world know it 
I ain't gotta sneak out the window 
No, I'm going out that door 
And I ain't coming back no more

Anymore

Nobody said
That it gets worse
Over time
But I can't 
Lose this time

Words off a movie
Rippin' on indies
You say its a rom com
But that's why I worry

But how do I know its true

This time I don't believe it's you

Selling me something I wont be forgetting
You say it don't cost much but the payments not ending

And how do I know it's you

This time I don't believe it's you

Nobody said
That it gets worse
Over time
I can't lose this time

Max Gardener's music can be best described as "Barbecue Pop" - a delightful fusion of dream pop's ethereal charm with a sprinkle of lightheartedness and warmth. Just like a perfect summer barbecue, Max's songs invite listeners to indulge in a sonic feast, where the melodies sizzle, the rhythms groove, and the lyrics spark conversations around the grill.
