First To Know, Last To Understand

Moon Crawl Records

Loose Buttons' sophomore album “What’s On Outside” out October 22nd, 2021 

////////////////

If only
I could catch up to the person that I thought I would be
Getting used to the bad news 
 
Cause by now
Thought I’d buy my mom a house or my dad a spaceship
So we could float around

See it from this view 
Lift my head from the screen
And fix my posture too
Still can’t tie these shoes
Ran a mile to fall down
Before the finish
First to know but last to understand

Open your eyes, your eyes
Wish I had a theme
Something to keep me up at night
Sure I got a life I love
But it don’t feel like mine
Words I try dissolve
Before my tongue can reach the line
Words I can’t define
 
Been waiting
Wishing that the wheels of change would move a little quicker
Don’t mix up your faith with mine
 
In Philly
Khazi took a train downtown to hear me singing off key
Thought I’d be more than this 
 
Crawling to the moon
To plant our flag in the scene  
But I’ve been failing you
Scared to leave my room
In the prime of my life
And feeling finished
  
Open your eyes, your eyes
Wish I had a theme
Something to keep me up at night
Sure I got a life I love
But it don’t feel like mine
Words I try dissolve
Before my tongue can reach the line
Words that I don’t
 
Hear me out
Don’t hang your head down

Rocket To The Moon (lyrics)

Rolling down the window
I can hear the echo
If I’m sleeping in the planetarium  
I don’t mind

Surfing on a rainbow
Hitchhike through the cosmos 
If I’m eating breakfast on a satellite
I’m alright

They think I’m a dreaming fool
I don’t really see it though
Or maybe I don’t wanna face it… and
Admit that I’d rather be
In alternate reality
Escaping the gravity maybe
On a rocket to the moon
Rocket to the moon

Psychedelic aliens
Cosmic color best friends
They want to crown you ruler of the universe 
And beyond

They think I’m a dreaming fool
I don’t really see it though
Or maybe I don’t wanna face it… and
Admit that I’d rather be
In alternate reality
Escaping the gravity maybe
On a rocket to the moon
Rocket to the moon

They think I’m a dreaming fool
I don’t really see it though
Or maybe I don’t wanna face it… and
Admit that I’d rather be
In alternate reality
Escaping the gravity maybe
On a rocket to the moon
Rocket to the moon

Why would I wanna stay awake
I could be traveling in space
I still got an empty seat baby
On my rocket to the moon

Rocket To The Moon

Stream 'Why Am I So Tired' here: https://listen.niceguysrecords.com/why-am-i-so-tired

Layten Kramer, singer, songwriter and musician from Canmore in Alberta, Canada enters the Nice Guys family with a single called ‘Why Am I So Tired’. The artist drawn towards creating psychedelic folk with a western influence delivers here a sensible song to which anyone can connect with. This ballad offers a soothing melody made of a light guitar strumming that contrasts with the anxiety expressed in the lyrics of this piece meant to exorcise through music the artists’ demons as well as ours.

Little Chance

Lyrics:

If you think you know yourself
Well you don’t
You don’t
 
You’re too afraid to lose control
To let go
And just float
 
All of these dreams
Within you
Within me
Somehow
I feel
Part of you
Is part of me
 
If you try to find yourself
On your own
Well you won’t
 
But if you learn to love yourself
When you’re low
Well maybe there’s hope  
 
All of these dreams
Within you
Within me
Somehow
I feel
Part of you
Is part of me
 
Deep underwater
Your emotions
Call to you
“Go where the wind blows
All of this time spent hesitating”
 
Down by the water
Cross the ocean
I should go
Go where the tides pull
All of our lives to rearrange them
 
With you I feel I find myself
I let go
And we float
 
All of these dreams
Within you
Within me
Somehow
I feel
Part of you
Is part of me

Within You, Within Me

I used to be afraid of my mind 
And being left alone with whatever I found
But now I’m more afraid of what I won’t find 
And all that’s left will end up letting you down
They say if you remain very still
And hold your breath for as long as you can
And by some miracle you don’t reveal
All the fear you’re holding where you stand

Dinosaur, Dinosaur
He wouldn’t know that I exist
I wish we were the same
Oh no, we’re just the opposite
I hide away again

I guess I’ll have to chase and corner it
If i wanna catch me some more self-esteem
I always thought you had to be born with it
But maybe that was just Maybelline

Dinosaur, Dinosaur
He wouldn’t know that I exist
I wish we were the same
Oh no, we’re just the opposite
I hide away again

I made the cage I’m in
I’m blinded by nothing
I’m tired of my skin

I made the cage I’m in
I’m blinded by nothing
I’m tired of my skin

I made the cage I’m in
I’m blinded by nothing
I’m tired of my skin

I made the cage I’m in
I’m blinded by nothing
I’m tired of my skin
