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

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

Daily deliveries 
I'll wait 'till I get bored
 
Signing for the box I see
Like the one Ma brought me
Yesterday and ‘93
An ego packed inside its bubble wrapping
What could I do with that?
  
Sitting here shamelessly
You gift like Robin Hood
 
Could it be a night for me
Sleeping on your luxury
And I confess, Morrisey 
A charming man is what I thought I would be 
But I’m still imitating
 
Franklin
Hey do you remember 
I waited on Sundays 
We hated December
You know that I wanted more
I know you’re exhausted all the time
A whole lotta waiting
For all that was coming
Franklin, 
(Waiting for the waiting to end)
you move like Sinatra 
(Set it down, saddle off)
Provide for the party
(The Life of the party)
I beg for the bell to ring ‘cause then we’re getting started
(Unlocked)
A whole lotta waiting
(Coming down)
For all that was coming
(Be there)
A whole lotta wondering
 
Daily deliveries 
I’ll wait ‘till I get bored
Could it be the death of me
Job to keep you on your feet
Out-of-touch celebrity 
Who gets the clue their run is surely over
We’re moving forward
Neighborhood memories are fading
Take me back home
Way back when
Packing it in and imitating
Waiting on my own

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

I didn’t wanna freak you out, freak you out
Look what they started, blue knees curbing down on all our hope

The honey croons on Crescent Street
This wine feels rather weak
The proof is on the pavement 
And wire hung shoes
A life-vest breach, they decided 

Sweet old intrigue, the shipwrecked dreams 
Of modern kids
Are we too late?

I didn’t wanna freak you out, freak you out
Look what they started, blue knees curbing down on all our hope
But I was gonna stay home tonight
How could I?

Something wrong? Cause     
We don’t need a John Wayne
To save the day
Throw your dated views away

The same unknowns we keep on chasing 
Left foot, left foot racing
Our eyes close before the lens
Face you hear behind the scream 
Are we too late? 

I didn’t wanna freak you out, freak you out
Look what they started, blue knees curbing down on all our hope

Achilles Heel
And we all know the deal  
Sick what it reveals  
The same treatment as Bobby Seale
Just on newer wheels
Down on three-eight
But now are we too late? 
A window seat 
The government cheese
From some federal suite
Dry martinis on charming streets
But I was gonna stay home tonight
How could I?

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

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

Garden roamer
Coulda sworn I had the plot figured out
But this season’s over
Can barely keep my plants alive
Lost the keys to my hometown
 
One day I know
Won’t be able to call my old man on the phone
Veins stuck up like airwaves
Sorry for the times that I
Brushed off your advice   
 
Sing me to bed
What the night had marked in red
A mama’s boy
Watching dad sports 
I’ve been try’n since ‘94
T-T-Take me home
 
Nine-minute mile
Career minor leaguer forcing a smile
Once a promising ride
If it’s the end then at least we can say that we tried
 
Part-time showman
And a suitcase roam an empty carousel
Heading out to nowhere 
Tryna fit but hit the curb
Don’t stop, the screen’s black
 
Sing me to bed
What the night had marked in red
A mama’s boy
Watching dad sports 
I’ve been trying since ‘94
T-T-Take me home
Feeling Good
 
Nine-minute mile
Career minor leaguer forcing a smile
The boys dressed in blue
Are back on TV disappointing me too
Once a promising ride
If it’s the end then at least we can say that we tried
T-T-Take me home
Feeling Good
 
Another new season starts soon
Something sweet out of the blue
Take me home

99 Secrets

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

Tie me up in a dog cone
To keep me from what I don’t wanna know
Oh no, somebody throw me a bone

Oh no, feeling off, getting bored of it
I sketch a smile and stick to my face
Oh no, somebody answer the phone I’ll

Tell you 99 secrets
I’m best at my weakest
All my friends seem distracted
I can fake it this weekend
One-thirty-five a week to get my head right
Now I'm talking for free

Lasting longer than a tattoo
The color fading in and out of line
Oh no, looks like we’re all out of time

Tell you 99 secrets
I’m best at my weakest
All my friends seem distracted
I can fake it this weekend
One-thirty-five a week to get my head right
Feel like a fool
The ducks and I in my pool

Tell you 99 secrets
I’m best at my weakest
All my friends seem distracted
I can fake it this weekend
Act in a way that makes it hard for me to explain
Working a sweat
My gatorade tongue drips regret
One-thirty-five a week to get my head right
Tired of talking ‘bout me

Dead End Roads

I Saw Jon Hamm At The Beach
Loose Buttons
2024

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

Drinking on the drive I had the same day on repeat
I've forgotten how to act, I've forgotten...
All my windows down 'cause I saw Jon Hamm at the beach
I've forgotten how to act, I've forgotten how to act

A million shattered rocks surround the man in disguise
We're pretending all the time, we're pretending...
Now I'm watching reruns of the reruns in my mind
We're pretending all the time, we're pretending all the time

What a funny way to fake it

So these days I don't know
What part do you want me to show?
Blue chair sinking low
Long day I got nowhere to go
Balancing between I'm getting far I'm getting farther
Far from the mark

Doubled up I'm falling down he must have been my twin
I've forgotten how to act, I've forgotten...
I am so in love with the man I should have been
He was there just out of reach, I saw Jon Hamm at the beach

What a funny way to fake it

So these days I don't know
What part do you want me to show?
Blue chair sinking low
Long day I got nowhere to go
Balancing between I'm getting far I'm getting farther
Balancing between I'm getting farther

My Side Of The Bed
Loose Buttons
2024

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

Nine-thirty in the evening
I am pushing through
Mosh pit of a feeling

Ripe autumn air to breathe in
Patterned orange hue
On empty streets of Brighton

Drinking old fruit
Redder than a kalyna
Playing back what my folks went through
Dizzy heart when I need ya

I'd hate to say they're right

Write down four letters
I'm jackpot dreaming
With you on my side of the bed
Over and over again
You know me better
So now I'm reaching
For you on my side of the bed
Over and over again

Fine, lucky as a feeling
We both know it's true
Still it bears repeating

Tired memories of leaving
Lettered avenues
God damn it's been a long night

Write down four letters
I'm jackpot dreaming
With you on my side of the bed
Over and over again
You know me better
So now I'm reaching
For you on my side of the bed

But the truth is
Every 8th of November
Playing back what my folks went through
Raised on dreams they surrendered
Laugh at me 'cause I love my life
With you right there in the center
Sorry that I just lectured
About a day in November

My Side Of The Bed

Just A Boy In A Band
Loose Buttons
2025

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

There’s a rabbit under my bed
“Tricks are for kids” I thought I read
Still I’m out here
Top hat and cane
You came to see magic
 
Sang you this tune
Fumbled the lines
Flicking at ashtrays for a sign
You lit a smoke and sighed as you said
"Aww, isn’t this tragic?"

Waning Crescent
Mental muscles fear the dark
Crashed a party I’m too scared to start 

Tell me
Where are we sleeping?
I had a thought 
Sweeter than Sweden 
Played out
King of the evening
When morning comes 
I’ll be staring up at the ceiling
Maybe I’m just a boy in a band
Still chasing what I can’t

Found the right crew
Didn’t need much 
Started a band, look at our luck
Kinda conceded
These boys were all that I needed

Humbled ending 
Empty bleachers in the park
Crashed a party I’m too scared to start 

Tell me
Where are we sleeping
I had a thought 
Sweeter than Sweden 
Played out
King of the evening
When morning comes 
I’ll be staring up at the ceiling
Knowing I’m just a boy in a band
Just chasing what I can

Tales Of What I'm Used To

Strangers In A Nightclub
Loose Buttons
Something Better
2020

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

Sporting a redcoat with his right hand stamped
All through the night he is pounding out his theme song 
In the search for something better lately
Selling sinking ships and brake-less cars to all the weekend hoppers, 
Should I say something?
Showed up to the nightclub on a space age train
Pomade in his hair and grease on his dead leg
Winning races, didn’t even bother running
Still a shoulder for the friends of all the sunken children 

Step inside the circle
Don’t know him, and I don’t know
How anyone can tear apart two
Strangers in a nightclub

Behind the counter she's been mixing and fidgeting the thoughts out of her hair
Venom spews from her snakeskin boots, a narcissistic guru in training
Sporting retro-future, she’s a talker
Dabbled in Gothic erotica, you know 
She can dine with his fetishes and have a feast 
Near the head of a murdered deer

Step inside the circle
Don’t know her, and I don’t know
How anyone can tear apart two
Strangers in a nightclub

It’s just my imagination
Strangers I'm creating
But I don’t really care to talk about
Strangers 

Step inside the circle
Don’t know them, and I don’t know
How anyone could tear apart two
Strangers in a nightclub

Something Better

Something Better
2020

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

I know what I’m expected to say
I guess you like it best that way
Yet again I think I’m trying to find
Something Better

You were laying on a hospital bed
I knew what coulda been instead
Suddenly, another one just like me
What a nightmare

Shouting out something obscene
30 strangers had been staring at me
Cause I couldn’t even hide it at all
How pathetic

It’s like picking traits right out of a bag 
Half of them I wish I’d give back
If you need me I’ll be trying to find
Something better

Somehow I would
Somehow I wouldn’t change
If sometimes I could just
Play the sideline, Pay me no mind

Trying not to say it’s the end
I wish my parents could be friends
But you can’t rewind to get what you want
Say the word, we’ll all go back in time

But then I get out of bed
Regretting all the shit that I said
Fucking crying out the name of a girl
That I’m dating 

Somehow I would
Somehow I wouldn’t change
If sometimes I could just
Play the sideline, Pay me no mind

Fell Into A Hole
Loose Buttons
Something Better
2020

Featuring Ava Trilling

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

Slept alright
But took a walk and I fell into a hole this time 
Cleared the dirt with the roots while Johnny walks the line
Bear in mind
(Are we falling into line?)
You may not get what I’m implying

Mulled about
Spent a decade planning how my life turns out
The band is doing great, we haven’t yet sold out
It takes some time
(Are we falling into line?)
The 9 to 5’s been so unkind 

Droogs, you tell me you have a plan
A little of that Ludwig van
To get me outta my head again

Ever falling in, better find something

I think about
How all our friends are getting sober
It freaks me out 
Push the bookshelf, Alfred, there is much to figure out

Georgie boy, what a sorry sight
Just tell me I’ll be cured, all right
The End
Get me outta my head again

Ever falling in, better find something

I'm so sick and tired 
Wasting all my time
They said if I’d been cured, all right
It wouldn't read the same
Wouldn't feel the way I’m feeling

Tell me, does it feel the same for you?
No need to try and run 
The company has got no time for you
No need to try and run

Fell Into A Hole

I Don't Really Know
Loose Buttons
Something Better
2020

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

I don’t really know
Whether five years ago
We thought this out
Time turns to doubt
And I’m ever down

Monumental or middling?
Will we read between the lines? 
Have you heard this old song before?
Should we be happy or resigned?
Try to peek inside a critic’s mind?
Or thank you for giving us the time?

I don’t really know
If in five years or so
We’ll figure out
Time turns to doubt
And I’m ever down

Where do we go from here
(Some one-star review)
Where do we go from here
(Start on something new)

I Dont Really Know

You Always Look So Cool
Loose Buttons
Something Better
2020

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

You forced my neck up high
To marvel at your grace
Smoke rings around warm eyes
A name without a place 

The advertisement girl 
You always look so cool
Forget me not, for sure
But please remember

I’ll deftly try to fake
Some thought provoking line
So you'd appreciate
What’s printed on my mind

Went fishing for the words
The letters swam away
Went driving for my worth
But had no where to stay
 
Forward thinking, I won’t turn it into stone again
Forward thinking, I won’t turn it into stone again

Don’t you want to waste our lonely lives together?

You burned your wedding gown
As I’ve been sewn up tight
But did I let you down?

Forward thinking, I won’t turn it into stone
Been thinking, I won’t turn it into stone again

I’m an open book
Without any pages turned 

Don’t you want to waste our lonely lives together?
