There's an overpass on the highway that you pass under each time you drive back southwards to my hometown, it's called called Sierra Street. This song is about how I feel lately whenever I pass it.
lyrics
Sierra 
I'm growing tired 
I keep driving back to you 
And your hands are so cold 

Long walk back 
To the land that I grew from 
Feels like I'm seeing through 
All the stories we're told 

And I'm a liar at heart 
Every fire I start 
Ends in smoke 
I can't see your face 

I'm surviving the part 
Where my mind breaks my heart 
Can't relate 
And I don't know my fate 

But all of my heroes have sung about the blues 
I keep imagining my friends meeting you 
Proud of places I've seen 
Not so much of who I've been 
Can't remember my dreams so they won't come true 

Got foundations from blood I heal, I grow 
But I still end up in territories unknown 
Feels like I'm letting you down 
But one day I'll make you proud 
Keep my feet on the ground and I'll let this go 

As a child 
I would sleep never fearing 
The way that these forests grow 
Til the path can't be seen 

But now I run 
Cos I'm lost here and losing 
Any sense of a place to go 
I can't hide in my dreams 

And I'm a liar at heart 
Every fire I start 
Ends in smoke 
I can't see your face 

I'm surviving the part 
Where my mind breaks my heart 
Can't relate 
And I don't know my fate 

But all of my heroes have sung about the blues 
I keep imagining my friends meeting you 
Proud of places I've seen 
Not so much of who I've been 
Can't remember my dreams so they won't come true 

Got foundations from blood I heal, I grow 
But I still end up in territories unknown 
Feels like I'm letting you down 
But one day I'll make you proud 
Keep my feet on the ground and I'll let this go 

And I've got a family whose love has kept me safe 
For 22 years despite my jaded ways 
Got a circle of friends who I would kill for and then 
I've seen some eyes that are warmer than words can say 

Sad to say 
That I still miss them everyday 
Still I know 
That one day I'll be okay

Sierra

A song for an old friend.
lyrics
Run down on a rainy day 
Hope you know what I mean when I say 
I still miss the way 

When it feels like you're just out at sea 
Slowly drifting away 
Say come May reach the bay 

We were only kids when you left 
But since then we bonded and grew 
So one day when our kids fly the nest 
They will leave here with stories of you 
And the love that we knew 

So carve the willow from the tallest tree 
With our friends hand in hand we could hear 
Your voice it was clear 

And we reply as a family 
So your light never fades always near 
Not to fear 


We were only kids when you left 
But since then we bonded and grew 
So one day when our kids fly the nest 
They will leave here with stories of you 
And the love that we knew

Five Months

Years

The weather's gonna cool down pretty soon
Our windows will close
I don't think the warmth I felt in June
Can save us from the snow.

The Shore

The sun took its leave and left us the evening to remember ourselves
The moon reflected as I projected my feelings off you

Quieter These Days

I think Maya might just change the world.

Start The Car!!!

I'm on the street where I laid your body down
Stayed awake
Wrote the lines while you read

Union Square

Wonder what the town would say?
Didn't matter anyway,
She did

A Party After Midnight

All at once you'll see colour
Finally the leaves are letting go
Of the year they've seen
Of what they used to be

The Vatican

Ain't it hypocritical to say there ain't a thing to change it?

We're Getting Out Of Here

Even if you were here, I would've pictured it differently:
Each day that made a year would make far more.
But when I look for more,
I see we made it all.
Good grief Gabbie, we gave it our everything.
