All of my windows are sepia toned So I see today like a memory And if you think that I’m a comedy now Wait until you meet the rest of me, rest of me I’ll give as much forever as I can afford Back in the summer we’d go for a walk With whiskey and coke in our travel mugs Nothing to do but go buy groceries again Sit on the porch and get bit by bugs, bit by bugs I’ll give as much forever as I can afford Cause that’s what my parents did I bit my tongue and I tasted my blood It’s different now than it was as a kid That brittle feeling is returning again And nothing you drink makes it disappear It stains the floors and it washes the walls You know that you have to get out of here, out of here
3.
Get on bus and walk to back But kindergartens can’t do that Driver calls me to the front Why can’t I sit where I want Get to school don’t recognize Anyone with mother’s eyes But I won’t let my tear ducts open Not on my first day My stomach hurts, it’s not my tummy I don’t think it’s cute or funny Using words i’ve been rehearsing You’ll talk to me like a person
4.
Strangest feeling I could leave work Armada With all my high school friends They look happy They have money They have babies Sometimes I could, I could I could, I could Strangest feeling People live here Never leave home That’s okay with them Nice and familiar Friends and family here Sit and have a beer Sometimes
5.
After all this time After all i’ve seen Still saving snails from sidewalks And earthworms from the street All the things I learned From my parents as a kid Didn’t have much relevance Then all at once they did Tired of writing songs about The lives I’ve had before Drudging up the feelings that I Don’t feel anymore I sit and watch the animals Run around the park Chipmunks fight for acorns And rabbits chewing bark As i drink the coffee I paid five dollars for Wonder if a finch barista Would charge me less or more
6.
I always said I’d die at 25 Or live to be a thousand years old Slowly but surely i’m nearing 25 I think I’ll just wait and see how it goes Please don’t hold me to The things that I said Before I knew No one could ever make me change my mind My world, so simple and small But now that I’m older, and used to being wrong I know I know nothing at all
7.
Just Need To 02:34
When you grow up looking at the power lines You think about it every day How 13 thousand watts would feel Coursing through your brain When you’ve never thought of something You forget it’s even there When I think about my future I forget I’m supposed to care Watch the geese go back and forth again They all seem so confused No-one knows when winter will come Not anymore anyway Sometimes I wonder how they feel Moving two steps behind I often wonder how I feel I think I’m mostly fine I stare across the pasture And all the life out there Though it’s still and empty There’s enough for me to say that I’d care If someone burned the whole thing down I’d beg them to stop and I’d cry I almost burned this whole thing down But I promised myself I’d try
8.
I don’t want anyone to look at me If their eyes don’t feel like yours But everyone at work just stares at me When I sit down on the floor When you grow up looking at the power lines You think about it everyday How one slip step at eighty feet Would make it all go away

about

Thank you to everyone who has listened/will listen to these songs, I spent a lot of time and money on them and it means a lot that someone cares. I owe this whole album to Miki and Hannah- they do way more than they should for me and I am endlessly grateful. Thanks to my parents, Club Records, all my friends; honestly I have too many people to thank, I’ll make sure I tell you next time I see ya.
