'Fingers Crossed'

You’re too tired for a dance in the kitchen 
Goodbye kisses and the Vyvanse kicks in
Stay one minute before I start to miss you
You tell me I’m sweet but I’m always a lot
Married to me try to loosen the knot
I don’t wanna be a good time and an afterthought
And now I’m wondering

Where does this all leave us?
Loving you wasn’t my idea of a good time
But yeah we had a good time

Where does this all leave us?
Loving you wasn’t my idea of a good time
But yeah we had a good time


The love ain’t lost
I got my fingers crossed
The love ain’t lost
I got my fingers crossed

And if you want
No need to talk
The love ain’t lost
I got my fingers crossed


And now you’re adding something strong to your lemonade
Passing these days in the Palisades
All of my worries gonna fadeaway
Pulling you in like a holiday
And I was all smiles ‘cause you wanted to
Take a lil trip out to Malibu
Sunset on the water in the rear view
Damn I guess I’m really stuck being in love with you

Where does this all leave us?
Loving you wasn’t my idea of a good time
But yeah we had a good time

Where does this all leave us?
Loving you wasn’t my idea of a good time
But yeah we had a good time


The love ain’t lost
I got my fingers crossed
The love ain’t lost
I got my fingers crossed

And if you want
No need to talk
The love ain’t lost
I got my fingers crossed

Yeah 
Fingers crossed
Yeah
Fingers crossed

'Eyes Wide Shut'
produced by @jonathan-asperil

La Brea for some boots
You’re kicking off a shoot
I’ve been calling all day
I can’t keep up with you

It’s all Saturdays
Got me driving out my way
You said ‘Pick me up at 1!’
I’ll be wearing something real, real, fun

Trying to take the high road
But I’ve been feeling lowly
No call back got me feeling so lonely
Giving me no reason, it ain’t even, best believe it
I got unrequited love for you

I better learn to keep it all to myself
I better learn to keep my heart in my chest
Bad enough that I want what I can’t get
I better learn to keep my eyes wide shut

Stayed in for the night
And watched a movie that you didn’t like
Went out with your friends
And I watched Al Pacino pick a fight

I’m done with trying different things
They leave me with these little scars
Off you go again
Chasing diamonds rings and faster cars

Trying to take the high road
But I’ve been feeling lowly
No call back got me feeling so lonely
Giving me no reason, it ain’t even, best believe it
I got unrequited love for you

I better learn to keep it all to myself
I better learn to keep my heart in my chest
Bad enough that I want what I can’t get
I better learn to keep my eyes wide shut

I better learn to keep it all to myself
I better learn to keep my heart in my chest
Bad enough that I want what I can’t get
I better learn to keep my eyes wide shut

This film is for anyone who has struggled to find themselves. Directed by Brian Petchers. Watch the short film here: http://howtofindyourselffilm.com

How do you find yourself? Nobody knows. And we don’t either. Which is why we made this film for young creatives who feel like their lives may be directionless. If you’ve never felt that way, you’re probably lying to yourself. This film is for people who have mistakes that are so large in their minds but not so large in reality, and we hope that maybe hearing other people your age share these exact same insecurities might reaffirm that your life isn’t as messed up as you might think.

We didn’t set out to make this. It just happened. The short was captured on 16mm film and a handheld camcorder. We asked those on camera to be honest and say anything that they want to share with the world about finding themselves, overcoming regrets, beating depression, living with anxiety, or fighting the mental health stigma. Looking back, we have a series of testimonials from people in their mid-twenties speaking on their deeply personal struggles to give advice to a younger version of themselves.

The musical score is the song by the same name off my new EP Take Care Of Yourself dropping December 1st.
