3. Moving out West - A good friend of mine once compared going to therapy to taking your car in to get serviced. I thought about that a lot before my wife gave birth to our son, Maxwell. I was in therapy, and wanted to make sure that I was mentally fit to welcome my first child into the world, and step up my game as a partner. That became the inspiration for the lyrics of “Moving out West”. The song is about checking in with yourself, the way you would take your car in before a big move/road trip. I wanted to check in with myself to see what blind spots I might have, and do a better job of addressing my anxiety, and go back to childhood, to see if  there was any weird stuff that still needed unpacking. Sonically, we wanted the tune to have a windows down, blazing down the highway, road trip kind of feel, which I think we accomplished.

I,
I'm gonna turn it all around
And I can't stand the thought that I might let you down

And I,
I'm gonna make a break for it
I've been tryna play the hometown hero, and it's all bullshit

We're talking it out
Trying our luck
I know I have a tendency to fuck these things up
But I swear to you right now
I'm gonna turn it all around

You,
Haven't had your chance to run
There's a fury burning inside you, it's like a setting sun

And you,
Always saw the best in me
Now the weight of the world feels a little less heavy

Talking it out
Trying our our luck

You don't have it in you to give this all up
But I swear to you right now

You're gonna get your chance to run
I know
I know I look like a mess

Like I'm retracing all of my steps but I swear I'm making progress
You moved on
Moved on to live
And I'm sure you'll tell all of your stories to all of your grandkids

I'm losing my mind
Are we losing touch?
The distance between us is a little too much
Instead of saying that
This is the end
I'll scream at the top of my lungs
"Here's to you my friend"


I'll turn it all around, I'll have it figured out
(I'll turn it all around)
I won't let you down, I'm just a mess right now
(I won't let you down)
You'll get your chance to run, far from everyone
(I'll turn it all around)
Screaming at the top of my lungs
(I won't let you down)


I'll turn it all around, I'll have it figured out
(I'll turn it all around)
I won't let you down, I'm just a mess right now
(I won't let you down)
You'll get your chance to run, far from everyone
(I'll turn it all around)
Screaming at the top of my lungs
(I won't let you down)
