Be Here Now

I’ve got my own goddamn song stuck in my own fucking head
Makes me feel like a loser I think i’m okay with that
But when people they ask what I do for a living
I’m embarrassed to say, yeah I’m still a musician
Cause i’ve tried so hard
Haven’t come that far
But if I had slowed down
I wouldn’t be here now
I’ll just be here now

Well Lived

What’s in a day well spent?
Is it working every morning coming home and going to bed?
Today’s got me thinking that can’t be it
Now everything of value isn’t worth a shit
I’m not losing faith
Cause I started out with none
Like leaving at the end right before the credits run
Am I holding out?
For something or someone
I’ll keep waiting for the future till the present catches up
What’s in a year or so?
Whys it the better time you have the faster it’ll go?
If the best advice says to take it slow
Then by my calculation the point is to quickly grow old
And lose your faith
Start back at square one
Be looking for the credits before the movies even done
And if you’re holding out
For something or someone
Just keep waiting for the future till the present catches up
Told you the world feels smaller now
And you said I think the sun came out
What’s in a life well lived?
Grow up get a job settle down have a kid
If that’s all there is to this i guess
May as well start living like you’ve got something to miss
It’s a twist of fate
And not a simple one
That at the very end when the final credits run
And you’re looking back
Seeing all you haven’t done
Well then you probably spent your whole life wondering when will the good part come

Good Things

So can i say
Something I haven’t said
That it feels better to actually give a shit
About someone, that is besides myself
I think its nice to feel something I’ve not felt
Cause for a while, almost forever i guess
Its been the same dream
Another year spent
Driving my house down the highway
Just me, my stuff in the wrong lane
Not a metaphor I really need to explain
Like sun on a sunny day
We felt the same but never at the same time
It took three years for a first date
We’ve got contradicting signs
But that stuffs made up anyway
Some part of me and i think some part of you
Lived in the contrast of what we both knew
And it was strange just for a moment or two
Sharing the same dream and a short week
Driving ourselves down the highway
Just us, our stuff in the right lane
Not a metaphor I really need to explain
Like sun on a sunny day
We felt the same but never at the same time
It took three years for a first date
We’ve got contradicting signs
But that stuffs made up anyway
Oh to mean something to someone
Hey I think I finally figured it out
If good things are coming in the long run
Maybe this time I’ll wait around

Faking Asleep

You made a promise you kept from me when i was a child
To never yell how you felt
I think about that a lot even if I can’t say
Exactly how much that helped me
Where I am now
Didn’t appreciate anything that I had as a kid
Wasted my youth being young
Did my childhood end when i realized it was
not really there till it’s gone?
Then suddenly I find
I am now the same age as my mother
When she had my sister I guess I thought
I would do the same when I got older
But now I’m older
I wonder what I might say to this person I make
When they finally arrive
In spite of everything else
They might see on TV
They should be patient and kind
Oh I think I just miss
Being that much smaller than my father
Driving back home in his car
Faking asleep taking me inside on his shoulder
When did I get older?
Have I grown up?
Where I am now
Will I lose touch?
Where I am now
Is it enough?
Where I am now
If I make someone I’m proud of?

Silver or Bronze
02:54

I’ve never had to think all this out
That’s not to say that it came naturally
It’s more like I’ve just stuck around
Way too long to ever quit now
Clear my voice so I can speak
About the years in sunk cost fallacy
While I know that’s it’s not fair to view the past through present eyes
And I’m sure there were some moments I’ll remember half my life
See I’m not too good with numbers but can’t help feeling past my prime
But its sure a decent way to pass the time
I wonder what my friends are all up to
I still see them on the internet
Just enough so we forget
That we havent been in the same room
Since around this time a year ago
By next year we’ll all be old
And start to build our families in our own separate homes
We’ll keep living in the moment even though the moments gone
And if our younger years were golden are these ones silver or bronze?
Either way they go too fast and take too long
Either way they go by fast
So maybe I’ll slow down
And actually live in my hometown
But if where I thought I’d be
Wasn’t much more than a dream
Then whats the point of ever losing sleep

Move On
03:58
|

Don’t try and make this something that it’s not
You’re just feeling that way cause you’ve waited too long
And everyone asks you what exactly went wrong
Well it’s easier to tell them the timing was off
Cause it’s hard to admit when you’ve devoted your life
To convincing yourself things will turn out all right
Each sentence you speak is half true or a lie
Which might be a sign that you’ve held on a bit too tight
That’s when it’s time to
let go, move on
Maybe its time to let go, move on
Maybe it’s time
To recall the present and not just what’s passed
To forget why you do this to remember to ask
To reach out your hand without something to grasp
To accept where you’re going you can’t get to fast
Throw blame on the fire
Watch your ego burn down
And you’ll be surprised by what you’re left with now
Just pride and a fear you cannot shut out
That dreams become quieter till finally they don’t make a sound
That’s when its time to let go
Move on
Maybe its time to let go move on
Hell I don't wanna let go
Or move on
I dont think I can let go or move on
Maybe it’s time
I try a bit harder to believe in myself
Instead of how i’ve been feeling it’ll be how i felt
Not the end of an era or the way up from hell
Just holding too close to what couldn’t be held
No I won’t be afraid to let go

Night Song
02:18

Light still comes in through my
Window at night even though
I bought shades to help
Keep in the night
Are you falling asleep?
Are you safe in your bed?
Are you dreaming of me?
Are you stuck in your head?
I am
Hands on my chest
And a pair of cold shoulders
You ask what I’m thinking
And roll back over
Are you dreaming asleep?
Are you stuck in your bed?
Are you falling for me?
Are you safe in your head?
I am

I’m always coming up with
A backup plan for this
It makes me so anxious
But I don’t think I can help it
How long have I felt this way?
Not bad but not that great
And what did I do all day?
Made plans to hesitate
It’s what I’m made of
The fear of nothing running through my heart
Guess that’s how I make art
Back home again my love
House full of all our stuff
Just let your eyes adjust
Life’s better than good enough
And now we wake up
In same bed that I thought was too big
I wasn’t lonely
Just seemed that extra room was wasted
That’s when my mother told me
Someday there’ll be somebody who will fill the space beside you
And you should make sure you leave some room in your life for someone new
That kind of talk will only get you somewhere with nothing to lose
It’s not a hill you have to die on you could live on it too
Never knew could be so fatalistic
Giving up on love at 22
Taking pride in being
Difficult to read and far removed
Haven’t been so glad
To fail so hard as when I fell for you
That’s when my backup plan fell through

Rainbow Connection
03:56

Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side
Rainbows are visions
They're only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some chose to
Believe it
But I know they're wrong wait and see
Someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Who said that every wish
Would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
And look what it's done so far
What's so amazing
That keeps us star gazing
What so we think we might see
Someday we'll find it
That Rainbow Connection
The lovers the dreamers and me
Have you been fast asleep
And have you heard voices,
I've heard them calling my name,
Is this the sweet sound that calls
The young sailors,
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that i'm supposed to be,
Someday we'll find it
The rainbow connection...
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Goodbye
03:49
|

I’ve been feeling nostalgic
Not just for the good times
But the not so good ones too
The book of my memories
All black, white and faded
Look the same when looked back through
I guess time and age
Are funny things
Cause when they compound
Leaves you wondering
When you felt so sad
That you could be sick
But on looking back
Who’s pain was it?
It’s on the tip of your tongue for your whole life
Why does everything change except your mind?
Always saying goodbye
Took a while to realize
I know less each year i
Think I know anything at all
But see that’s a reflection
Of what I don’t know yet
Half as smart and twice as tall
Like when you’re a kid
Asked how old you are
You add half a year
Try and act mature
But then later on
You start to learn
You stay older than
You wish you were
It’s on the tip of your tongue for your whole life
Why a change of heart won’t change your mind?
Always saying goodbye
Lives on the tip of your tongue till the day you die
That everyone leaves but that’s all right
Now that you’re saying goodbye
