I would’ve sent a postcard, darling I would have 
If I thought you wanted to hear from me again 
I know better than to go upset the world you live in 
Sometimes things don’t have the explanations that we’d like 
Sometimes things don’t add up and we learn to be alright 
Numbers and the sciences always went over my head 
I’ve always been better with my words than I’ve ever been with math 

4 of your birthdays 
With 3 of our best friends 
In 2 different states 
With 1 explanation 
I loved you 
How am I doing with my math? 
I would have spent 5 
But 4-ever ran dry 
When those 3 little words 
Become 2 hard to find 
Now I’m 1 birthday behind 

You loved the mountains 
I loved the way you looked watching them 
I planned to take you to the Carolinas in a van 
I hope they take you instead 
Maybe they’ll end up with better math 

We spent 4 of your birthdays 
With 3 of our best friends 
In 2 different states 
With 1 explanation 
I loved you 
How am I doing with my math? 
I would have spent 5 
But 4-ever ran dry 
When those 3 little words 
Become 2 hard to find 
Now I’m 1 birthday behind 

How did I end up with numbers like that?
I think I went and forgot how to add
Where did you learn how to subtract like that?

4 of your birthdays 
With 3 of our best friends 
In 2 different states 
With 1 explanation 
I loved you 
How am I doing with my math? 
I would have spent 5 
But 4-ever ran dry 
When those 3 little words 
Become 2 hard to find 
Now I’m 1 birthday behind

"Asleep on the Couch" is a slow-burning alternative track laced with the emotion of indie rock. Drawing influence from artists like Boygenius, Julien Baker and Phoebe Bridgers, the song captures the quiet devastation of realizing someone might not love you back. 

With guitar heavy instrumentation and a raw alternative vocal, this track belongs alongside heart-heavy alt playlists like Indie Rock Mix, Fresh Finds, All New Indie or Feel-Good Indie Rock.

Perfect for fans of indie confessional songwriting and moments that feel like the world has paused—just long enough for everything to sink in.

Asleep On The Couch

For most of my life I have not been set up well for self-discovery, now I’m in my 20’s trying to catch up on everything I missed out on as a teenager. The downside to finding yourself as an adult is that you don’t get to approach life innocently. You’ve been left, you’ve been the bad guy, you now realize you grew up under a belief system you might not agree with anymore. You know loneliness. 
Okay Kenedi is a face for the late bloomers, the last-picks and anyone a little late to growing up. I write music that finds people who might think who they are isn’t okay to remind them - we’re all okay.
