You Can't Be My Girlfriend, You're My Boyfriend 04:23
lyrics

Wake up, this dream is not for you Somebody else told you what to do These are to be our final days And everything we built soon will be erased Like waking from a dream I will forget your face All of the world is trying to be yours It's in your hand, and still you ask for more I know it hurts Not to get the things you want But it won't just come 'cause you want it so bad You need to love the things you have And if it's not enough, I'm not coming back to you All of this time, I thought that we were right Now I know it was never worth the fight And I know it hurts You've gotta know, man, it's killing me I wake up lost, you're not around I wonder where my life is bound I need an out, but I'm not coming back to you

I'm Not Sorry 03:02
lyrics

Everything in this world that comes to pass, it'll end And time doesn't wait for anyone, least of all us, my friend See, I would have fought the gods if I thought it could change your fate But when the smile runs away from you, what can I do but wait? Just wait for the world to change Then wait for the world It's been a wretched mess, I can't say what for Still dressed like you're going to church, you don't even pray, not anymore But I wouldn't change a thing if I had the time to relive I just wish it didn't take so damn long to forgive Just wait for the world to change Then wait for the world And wait for the world to change Then wait for your eyes to adjust What else am I supposed to say?

A Long Scene with No Dialogue 05:24
lyrics
buy track
Heart racing rather lazily Composed as if not listening To every second ticking on past Into this immensely Personal experience I need an old friend to come along So come on, friend Come on, friend Come on Kill yourself, why not? You love a little and you hurt a lot You don't know what you got You never will until you hurt a lot Lost in the moment, exposed, far from home, and alone

First Drop of a New Day 03:13
lyrics

So, welcome back to Earth I held something good, but I lost it now I dreamt of a song Now the melody's gone, and the rhythm's all wrong, and the words... They won't come Life seems to come in fits So when fate turns her wheels, you just roll with it When you live in a cloud And the storm comes 'round It's a long way down

In All Its Glorious Forms 05:29
lyrics
buy track
Now there's a face I know I've seen before Always hangin' 'round the same old haunts Maybe he lost something very small Can't bring himself to say it's gone So where do I go when I need a friend? The storm drain pond Can I tell his story with a chord? Can I sing his sorrows in a verse? Can I say how much I need him now? Oh my god, I need you now To say you're mine Well I'd sooner own the Earth and the sky To be for you I don't know if I could compromise And to live alone I got lost just walking home tonight Can I wear these virtues like a coat When the seasons bring us bitter cold? Can this makeshift comfort never end? Cherries and roses, they're just shades of red And when I'm all alone Can I find away to make it by on my own? I turn my face up to the rain I watch the daylight slowly wane Say, "Oh my god, I need you now."

about

This my debut as a solo artist. I've been thinking and saying things for most of my life, and this a small collection of those things put into songs. It's about loneliness, losing things, saying goodbye, and learning to live with all that (sort of).
