Be Here Now 01:15
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 03:37
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 03:47
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

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?

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

22 02:42
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

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
