every night i walk down
to where the water meets ground
and i plunge my feet in waters deep

and oh how i'd like to float away
with my face looking up to the stars above
forever and a day
i will keep on floating away

over mountaintops
to the forest where i'll build my home
out of rocks and trees and grass and stone
and a garden for my food
and it will be good

forever and a day
i will keep on floating away ...

Love letter to my future self

Every Word (Demo)

"i'm going as far as i can go, away from here,
away from you, jake, and the hole you've sunk me into.

i wish that i could belong here, with you, and just be,
but that's not all that i'm about."

Independence Day (Elliott Smith Cover)

How was your day
I didn't listen anyway
to a word you said
my head in the cloud
thinking about all the sounds
that I heard today
wasting your love
wasting your love away
wasting your love
wasting your love
parking my heart 
deep in these strangers eyes
where I can really fly
you know me too well
to make me feel like a man
only these strangers can
wasting your love
wasting your love away
wasting your love
wasting your love
reset the bone
left me alone for a while
an hour or two
then I heard 
the most beautiful sound in the world
coming from you
wasting your love
wasting your love on me
wasting your love 
wasting your love
