Every look on your face left traces Never really made sense to resist all of the ways you made me Feel like I mattered right when when I shattered Put me back again But the shards that I left gave you cuts in your hands So if you'll be my girl just be warned up front I'll be all you want but I'll burn you out You say you want some good with the bad But the bad might upset all the reasons we met Love, look at me and make me a promise That you'll wait patiently, dear You were honest and said Maybe someday, but smile for what little we had Maybe someday we'll find one more reason we met Maybe someday I lost the worst of my loss aversion I'm another version at a loss for words when I'm hurt by ya You got those dead set eyes, trappin' one day flies But why are you sparing my life? Love, look at me and make me a promise That you'll wait patiently here You were honest and said Maybe someday, but smile for what little we had Maybe someday we'll find one more reason we met Maybe someday, but smile for the memories we got Maybe someday, yeah maybe someday will come But I don't understand why you keep calling You said our love is better when it's dead and gone I know you like to bury when it's getting heavy All you'll excavate when you dig me up is a broken heart 'Cause it would've meant the world if you fought for me But I'm aware that I'm the one who takes the the falls for me Wrongfully stalling, knowing full well we're falling Not in love, not into place but in a way we falling hard Of course I could've seen a future in your arms But I know that you are happy where you are All the Instagram posts, sonogram boasts and photograph road trips I loathe living alone But I know I got friends to the dead bitter end, I know that you got my back 'cause we've been at the end You'll all get a better me than I could be before So hang on to my word 'cause someday I'll be more Maybe someday, but smile for what little we had Maybe someday we'll find one more reason we met Maybe someday, but smile for the memories we got Maybe someday, yeah maybe someday will come Maybe someday, yeah maybe someday will come Maybe someday, yeah maybe someday let's not

Waiting Game 03:24

Late show in the high North, we made it The stone staircase down to the basement When I saw my ex I pushed you out front Said you didn’t feel sparks were flying You’re no wingman but thank you for trying Little did we know who you’d meet in class You started out entwined in beats and melodies But when the music stopped you swept her off her feet Close those red lips We could have this What if love is a waiting game? Where you win the heart if you don’t play Nice not knowing where this leads Time will make for more memories What if love is a waiting game? Where you wait the turn for the worst Mistakes made show me who I can be Time will make for more memories The pop star, the date’s on, the butterflies Swirling inside like a hurricane every night This operation’s not anesthetized You started having doubts in no one but yourself She told you you were fine, she don’t want no one else Close those eyes, Max We could have this What if love is a waiting game? Where you win the heart if you don’t play Nice not knowing where this leads Time will make for more memories What if love is a waiting game? Where you wait the turn for the worst Mistakes made show me who I can be Time will make for more memories It’s been hard to watch as the world falls head first, left burned It’s been hard to feel like your bedside’s cold It’s been hard but honest to god you got it right ‘cause Time’s not endless I could have this What if love is a waiting game? Where you win the heart if you don’t play Nice not knowing where this leads Time will make for more memories What if love is a waiting game? Where you wait the turn for the worst Mistakes made show me who I can be Time will make for more memories What if love is a waiting game? Where you win the heart if you don’t play Nice not knowing where this leads Time will make for more memories What if love is a waiting game? Where you wait the turn for the worst Mistakes made show me who I can be Time will make for more memories

Yeah, she wanted a clean break but mistakes were all that came her way Talked you up at a party, and I’m sorry, but I might steal you away Slid my phone ‘cross the bar and like a DM you smiled and typed your name Asked you out on your way out, I think I drowned in your ocean-colored waves How could you have known the death at the door We hit it off on that date but fate rang the telephone And then you were gone Baby no-show, tell me what you needed Heartless goals, why did I let you leave Spent your night in regret at a hospital bed Left a text but you left me on read A damn dead end Baby no-show, tell me what you needed Heartless goals, why did I let you leave me? Ghosted but I noticed that your picture’s not the same I ran over your roadblocks, ’cause I can’t stop if you don’t tell me how you’ve been You broke all of the silence with a kindness and a hint of a broken heart Said you lost more than everything in under a week and you’ve found somewhere you belong How could I have thought this won’t tear us apart You’re already gone Baby no-show, tell me what you needed Heartless goals, why did I let you leave Spent your night in regret at a hospital bed Left a text but you left me on read A damn dead end Baby no-show, tell me what you needed Heartless goals, I fooled myself to think There was a light at the end but the tunnel caved in And your pain kept cutting the brakes A damn dead end She was barely holding on She was never waiting for you She was barely holding on She was never waiting for you You got sick so you waded in bottles You got hit by the worst of bad luck, girl You found an escape in me but hardship’s not through Baby no-show, tell me what you needed Heartless goals, why did I let you leave Spent your night in regret at a hospital bed Left a text but you left me on read A damn dead end Baby no-show, tell me what you needed Heartless goals, I fooled myself to think There was a light at the end but the tunnel caved in And your pain kept cutting the brakes A damn dead end Baby no-show, tell me what you needed Heartless goals, why did I let you leave me? Baby no-show, tell me what you needed Heartless goals, why did I let you leave me?

Go on, whisper sweet nothings ‘till light peeks through cracks in the curtains We both know the burden’s been bad Hastily collect your things so you don’t see the hints of your makeup, the remnants of late talks we shared Don’t ask me when we’ll meet again Bargain summer sale, my body’s frail but everything must go I’m already half off so how much is left anymore? Just take what you see ‘cause it’s all that I am I’ll be trading these sad affairs for love Due to recent events Go home, this won’t be it Save the good dress for a man that deserves it Go home and just go to bed Got a hard time not vilifying me So I’ll lie to myself The balcony, you told me last night was the old me, chatted all night in the cold breeze Your mom told you everyone meets for a reason and if it’s reasonably real Then you will meet twice she said Don’t ask me when we’ll meet again Bargain summer sale, my body’s frail but everything must go I’m already half off so how much is left anymore? Just take what you see ‘cause it’s all that I am I’ll be trading these sad affairs for love Due to recent events Go home, this won’t be it Save the good dress for a man that deserves it Go home and just go to bed Got a hard time not vilifying me What if I meet her tomorrow, who will she see? A sad twenty-something, a laughable letdown Who’s got love, who’s got grit, who’s got so much to give Let’s ignore what I’ve been in the months that I sinned So much Could this slate still get clean? Bargain summer sale, my body’s frail but everything must go I’m already half off so how much is left anymore? Just take what you see ‘cause it’s all that I have I’ll be trading these sad affairs for love Due to recent events Go home, this won’t be it Save the good dress for a man that deserves it Go home and just go to bed Got a hard time not vilifying me So I’ll lie to myself

Hillhead Station Mural (Alanna & Columban) 03:58

There’s a big mural on Hillhead station My splitting image on painted tiles I kinda flew here to get away from myself But all I see are my hollow eyes staring back at me A warm welcome at your back gate, two dogs came runnin’ in They licked the wounds under my skin (I couldn’t see) The student couple that decided I could stay a few nights with them They looked happy I was there Her name was Alanna, she took in a stranger from the side of the street And he was Columban, a law student subletting to make ends meet Gotta know you made Huntly Gardens a safe place, a paradise You took in a stranger not knowing that you saved him I tore fringes off your valance but I’m the one unraveling Another warm meal at Old Salty’s down at Byer’s Road It’s the last my pounds can pay for probably Decide it’s time visit grandpa’s at Betula Drive I know the house is all there’s left and someone’s inside And even though some other family’s in your living room now It’s the closest thing to home I’ve got Her name was Alanna, she took in a stranger from the side of the street And he was Columban, a law student subletting to make ends meet You gotta know you made Huntly Gardens a safe place, a paradise You took in a stranger with nothing but a look in my eyes We were supposed to climb this mountain around this time But it’s just me and Scottish primroses in sight Too out of shape to reach the peak but I found a pretty seat Under a small dead tree that I’ll keep company Her name was Alanna, she took in a stranger from the side of the street And he was Columban, a law student subletting to make ends meet You gotta know you made Huntly Gardens a safe place, a paradise You took in a stranger with those Hillhead eyes Alanna, she took in a stranger from the side of the street And he was Columban, a law student subletting to make ends meet You gotta know you made Huntly Gardens a safe place, a paradise You took in a stranger and I hope you know you saved him

Got you singled out in a crowded room Are you single now or at least alone? If I move your hair behind your ear will you Look at me, look away look alive Would you get a rush from rushing this rendezvous? Let our light die out for a night or two You’re so gracious, ever mendacious Hold on to my shoulders, it’s a hasty vacation If I'm not going home tonight Hold me tight, make it alright Keep me warm from the cold weather Let's be lonely together If it feels wrong just give it time Do what we want ‘till the daylight Need you in nothing but my sweater Let's get lonely together I see your look from across the room Looking for trouble, boy, I assume? Had a drink, so let me make it better I don't care if it makes me even sadder One night, we don't need no chemistry You look like you need some company Let's take the elevator outta here Don't tell me stories I don't wanna hear Sing me a song and we'll call it ours Just come with me 'till after hours Want my true colors, well show me yours Make sure to keep it behind closed doors Won't fall for you, no baby not tonight No luck, no place for you in my life Don't wanna remember when I wake up Don't call me baby, I won't pick up I'm not going home tonight Hold me tight, make it alright Keep me warm from the cold weather Let's get lonely together If it feels wrong just give it time Do what we want 'till the daylight I'm here in nothing but your sweater Let’s get lonely together I might wanna call this off Then why you texting me baby? Is it wrong it's not enough? They use me, love me, hate me The way you're looking at me, it’s driving me insane Won't let you turn me away You better make me stay I'm not going home tonight Hold me tight, make it alright Keep me warm from the cold weather Let's get lonely together If it feels wrong just give it time Do what we want 'till the daylight I'm here in nothing but your sweater Let’s get lonely together Let’s get lonely together I’m here in nothing but your sweater Let’s get lonely together

She was 29, stuck inside her mind Her smile or the safe choice The house, the pets, her boy Or a chance to get her mind blown I was 25, fully volatile You met me at my worst year You still saw more than most did And I think I had you figured out And we both said go when the signs said no It was far too late the mistake was made We’ll pull through No, pain won’t go, we won’t show until we fall apart We’ve been detached for far too long But we can't quit, ‘cause then time’s lost Got a tired heart wanting this to start We never got official You said we didn’t have to So I made some bad judgement calls Now the house was doomed, slept in different rooms You said let’s have a baby The tears took over you ‘Cause your intention wasn’t true And we gradually cracked, I think you’ve found who’s next When you went out late it was clear as day I should move away No, pain won’t go, we won’t show ‘til we fall apart We’ve been detached for far too long But we can't quit, ‘cause then time’s lost No, pain won’t go, we won’t show until we fall apart We had a chance to make things last So we can't quit, ‘cause then time’s lost Now the question is: was it worth the hit? The lanterns, lies and long nights I’ve not made up my mind But I hope you’re alright No, pain won’t go, we won’t show ‘til we fall apart We’ve been detached for far too long But we can't quit, ‘cause then time’s lost No, pain won’t go, we won’t show ‘til we fall apart We had a chance to make things last So we can't quit, ‘cause then time’s lost No, pain won’t go, we won’t show ‘til we fall apart We’ve been detached for far too long But we can't quit, ‘cause then time’s lost No, pain won’t go, we won’t show ‘til we fall apart We had a chance to make things last So we can't quit, ‘cause then time’s lost

Yeah, I’ve been looking from the outside in I met so many people I would rather be To have a home where I would fit right in And never question where the next trap is ‘Cause when I travel I feel just the same As in my living room, the fact remains That my apartments never change all the ways that I feel safe ‘cause I’ve been insecure for days about the happiness that I crave And I can sleep anywhere I rest my head I’ve been hardened by hardwood floors But what I’d give for just one sleepless night In a warm bed that feels like home Take away all the furniture and our broken kitchen sink ‘Cause I would live in a shoebox if it finally gave me rest ‘Cause I don’t come with a manual and parts Got no idea why I keep falling apart A happy few of you keep me around Not as a night light but part of the house You drive for miles just to talk for a while Need you to know that I appreciate the time and place that we’re gonna build some day, ‘cause the fact remains that it’s just happiness I crave And every year the family table changes, different faces But what I’d give to be that same old smile You wake up to by your side Take away all the furniture and our broken kitchen sink ‘Cause I would live in a shoebox if it finally gave me rest ‘Cause I’ve been bruised, I’ve been battered, I’ve been used, I’ve been shattered I got buried like a casket, stabbed by my best friends Every single one of you abuse my smile and take the parts worthwhile that you can use for a while while you throw me at the wayside, hope you’re sleeping at night, knowing that a human being died for your peace of mind if I don’t think of you again until you crawl right back Take away all the furniture and our broken kitchen sink ‘Cause I would live in a shoebox if it finally gave me Finally gave me rest

I’m gonna make this fast, I’ll rip the band aid off You took the heart and left, you stepped on what I loved Will you listen? ‘Cause I always carried you, right ‘till you buried truth I built a whole new world with you (you let it fall) You knew how bad it hurt when you (tore it apart) They only took your word for it (I took the fall) And I got left wondering where it all went wrong I never got to the car, I couldn’t get back up I spiraled into depression that took all year long But I clawed out of the hole, I did all this alone How could I ever trust a soul now? High beams on the train tracks, I’m freezing on the edge I’ll close my eyes again and let the highwinds push me back I’ll pile you on at the end, you don’t get your own song ‘Cause time don’t seem like it mattered to you after all You can’t listen and I will not handle a kid throwing tantrums now You took my trust that turned to dust (you broke it all) I thought I knew your heart but (I was dead wrong) But I clawed out of the hole, I did all this alone Now I know just who my friends are High beams on the train tracks, I’m freezing on the edge I’ll close my eyes again and let the highwinds push me back and High tide in November, I’ll drown the years in there I’ll close my eyes again and let the current drift me back to land It got colder with New Year’s at the door I knew I couldn’t stay in here no more Packed all my bags and left the sadness at the door It got colder with New Year’s at the door Wrote “Goodbye” and I felt safe on board I went and flew close to the sun and burned it all High time for reflection in train windows and the sea Some very tough years passed and my illness still is softly sleeping High beams on the train tracks, I’m freezing on the edge I’ll close my eyes again and let the highwinds push me back and High tide in November, I’ll drown the years in there I’ll close my eyes again and let the current drift me back to land

Not home in my skin, not there in my head, I looked up a picture and don’t recognize him Can’t look at myself for more than a second, I pictured another guy but mirrors don’t lie It’s a defect I live with, the self-deprecation, an unwinnable battle so I just don’t face me Why I got the nerve to imply I could swerve to work up the courage to work on my hurt Got tired of hiding so I picked up the slack, so let’s not skip a day ‘till the old you is back I never broke easily I never broke easily Ran laps until closing and the only ones left awake are the pale orange street lights and me here It’s the only calm moment in my mess of a day of hard work and low pay and lone melodies Why I got the nerve to imply I deserve that not only do I deserve you, but you me I’m not made of testosterone but I don’t cry much, but this struck a chord that I long didn’t touch But these tears they were joyous, they warmed up my cheeks and when I told you, you were happy for me I never broke easily I never broke easily Yeah, I learned to love all the dents and the flaws, my crow’s feet and nose bridge and an eye slightly off Start listening to compliments and embrace what you got, they might be in short supply but one is enough I never broke easily I never broke easily I never broke easily (I won’t break easily) I never broke easily (I won’t break easily)

This hit us both Down to our bones Open letter with a matter of the heart I can’t get out Took me forever to get better, yet you never saw the man that I threw out So when I met you I got scared to show you all I was about Until you told me that you’ll hold my secrets close without the shadow of a doubt Why you gotta be the best bad news? Why am I not asking Could you quit, quit, quit me baby? ‘Cause you’ll keep, keep, keep me waiting, won’t you? This hit us both Down to our core Took me by storm, never thought it could happen ‘till it did But here I am, confessing all the flaws that I kept hidden as a kid And I’m not perfect but you take me for all that I am (for all that you are) I’m trying to prove to you I’m crazy but you’re telling me you couldn’t give a damn Why you gotta be the best bad news? Why am I not asking Could you quit, quit, quit me baby? ‘Cause you’ll keep, keep, keep me waiting, won’t you? Why you gotta be the best bad news? Why am I not begging Could you quit, quit, quit me baby? ‘Cause you’ll leave me, leave me later, won’t you? This hit us both This hit us both Down to our bones Down to our But it’s decided, we will fight it we will find another way Until the time is right we try to bite our tongues and let this fated flame fade away Why you gotta be the best bad news? Why am I not asking Could you quit, quit, quit me baby? ‘Cause you’ll keep, keep, keep me waiting, won’t you? Why you gotta be the best bad news? Why am I not begging you Could you quit, quit, quit me baby? ‘Cause you’ll leave me, leave me later, won’t you? Why you gotta be the best bad news? Why am I confessing to you?

They ask nice, so yet again it’s story time It’s alright, just don’t apologize It’s like a loss without a cause, I get sudden stomach drops Like a beating broken heart A few days in the year I can’t bear to wake A few nights in a row I can’t get to sleep She gave more than she could for ten lifetimes I live on in the memory of her life Hold on to all that they gave you Dance on, they’ll feel it too I got a you-shaped hole burned into my skin I got that kerosene soul to fit right in, it goes I got a you-shaped hole burned into my skin I got that kerosene soul to fit right in Don’t treat me differently now you can see My markings, I love those parts of me She’s a reminder I should strive to be better all the time Like a parent’s watchful eye A few years down the road I’ll forget this pain A few people I know, they will keep me sane She gave more than she could for ten lifetimes I’m eternally grateful for our time Hold on to all that they gave you Dance on, they’ll feel it too I got a you-shaped hole burned into my skin I got that kerosene soul to fit right in, it goes I got a you-shaped hole burned into my skin I got that kerosene soul to fit right in You-shaped hole burned into my skin Kerosene soul to fit right It goes Hold on to all that they gave you Dance on, they’ll feel it too I got a you-shaped hole burned into my skin I got that kerosene soul to fit right in, it goes I got a you-shaped hole burned into my skin I got that kerosene soul to fit right in Hold on to all that they gave you Dance on, they’ll feel it too I got a you-shaped hole burned into my skin I got that kerosene soul to fit right in

You never miss an invite, we’ve been riffin’ on movies all night The only guy to talk to about pop culture reviews Some of our past we don’t ever mention but when it gets tough a word can still matter Got my back when cornered and messed with, hope to return the years worth of favors We won’t get that time back, but what was left is not bad Listen up, you know you fix what we all drop Hope you take a breath or a quick stop You were the answer, I was the question given I was the “less than”, you were my selfless hero And you carry more than you tell us And you can’t ignore when we call up Take some time for you, we’ll still be here after you do You got your own pad to fill with your treasury, walls need paint and also new memories Cheers to all you’ve built this December Proud of all you’ve been through together You were the answer, I was the question given I was the “less than”, you were my selfless hero And you carry more than you tell us And you can’t ignore when we call up Take some time for you, we’ll still be here after you do You’re the timeless grandson Critic when we need one When I’m in a pinch, you’re always to talk to, so thank you This late fall, you answered every call, you always give your all But don’t forget to call when you need me at all You were the answer, I was the question given I was the “less than”, you were my selfless hero And you carry more than you tell us And you can’t ignore when we call up Take some time for you, we’ll still be here after you do You were the answer, I was the question given I was the “less than”, you were my selfless hero And you carry more than you tell us And you can’t ignore when we call up Take some time for you, we’ll still be here after you do

You were so scared You took a wrong turn back there But even the darkest of roads have a destination And this one seems worth all the miles And you saw me at the wayside, you pulled over, you pulled over And you drove me, not even knowing where we're going, but we're going Then you close the door As you're pulling me in All the stars on your ceiling glow You're holding me in the night Hold me in the night, in the night Taking me to a place I can't leave Whispering while your wide eyes glow Don't you stop holding me in the night Hold me in the night, hold me tight At the crossroads Seems like we've run all out of gas But even the bumps in the road and the cracks in the window This one was worth all the miles Still you drove me, while knowing where we're going, but we're going and going Then you close the door As you're pulling me in All the stars on your ceiling glow You're holding me in the night Hold me in the night, in the night Taking me to a place I can't leave Whispering while your wide eyes glow Don't you stop holding me in the night Hold me in the night, hold me tight I swept you off your feet And it's been hard to see you shatter Wished I could have seen Your beautiful porcelain skin I swept you off your feet And it's been hard to see you shatter Wished I could have seen Your beautiful porcelain skin Then you close the door As you're pulling me in All the stars on your ceiling glow You're holding me in the night Hold me in the night, in the night Taking me to a place I can't leave Whispering while your wide eyes glow And don't you stop holding me in the night Hold me in the night, hold me in the night Hold me in the night, hold me tight

I want something like what you have and I took a little while to get there, but hey, I’m finally here I’ve been dying for the sunlight, I’ve waiting for the crowds to cheer I wanna get this started, so let’s record some songs I’m trying In-N-Out on Sunset Boulevard It’s like I never left here, your faces still the same But Zara’s fully glowing, your lives about to change The family took me out, the cutest part of town But when we sat down who I thought about was not around And she looked at you from the booth with fiery eyes As she looked at you she was bathed in neon lights And all you shared were single looks but I wish I Could find a someone to get that tonight I want something like that, I want something like that I want something like what you have and I want something like that, we all want something like that We all want something like what you have right there It’s not enough to feel Like what you got is real It’s not enough for me, it’s not enough for me It’s not enough for me now Ryan’s working three jobs with a baby on the way And I’ve been visiting him daily, feel I just get in the way Eleven City Diner, he never seems too tired That kid who just got fired, I hope won’t spell you doom All your friends took me in and they made me feel at home Yeah, I got teary-eyed with Adam and I think I love that dude The kids from colder weather trusted me out on tour And we watched the fireworks with couples in your living room And she looked at you from the booth with fiery eyes As she looked at you she was bathed in neon lights And all you shared were single looks but I wish I Could find a someone to get that tonight I want something like that, I want something like that I want something like what you have and I want something like that, we all want something like that We all want something like what you have right there I found something like that It wasn’t hard and I bet You’ll hit the jackpot before you know it I’ll find something like that I’ll find something like that I’ll find something like what you have and now I want something like that, I want something like that I want something like what you have and I want something like that, we all want something like that We all want something like what you have right there It’s not enough to feel Like what you got is real It’s not enough for me, it’s not enough for me It’s not enough for me now

Night Bus 03:23

Caught the night bus as it drove off The driver rolled his eyes I kinda wish he'd left me stranded In the foggy station lights I know every bump and turn Doors fold open, hear the words Kid, wake up, leave the bus I was going to I was At the square, a smoking eyesore Still somehow my favorite street Hear the hard rock from the dive bar That we haven't played in years Push the buzzer, I know it's late “I'm kinda standing at your gate” Tired steps to your apartment Couch already made You don't wanna know the half of it You never knew it got bad like this So if I hear you say “please come home” It's not a place I got Leave those hopes You don't wanna know the half of it You never knew it got bad like this So if I hear you say “please come home” It's not a place I got Leave those hopes Keys and rent, a lease on life Had a roof over my head Thinking back to touring Holland We didn't care for where we slept Pitched up up a tent in front the venue A stranger's daughter's double bed If I had to do it over My only worries are my back And you don't wanna know the half of it You never knew it got bad like this So if I hear you say “please come home” It's not a place I got Leave those hopes Don’t wanna hear you say “please come home” “Please come home”, “please come home” Don’t wanna hear you say “please come home”

Yeah, me, myself and I, we don’t see eye to eye We both got trouble with the ways we get our sleep at night Guess I got that in common with myself There comes a time to try the beaten path and find The courage that you’ve always known before you had inside Guess I found belonging when I arrived Had my head down, channeling my inner Charlie Brown Got a blank stare fixed on the Fairfax grounds Spot a single pavement slab, graffiti clad in words that read You are, you are loved You are, you are loved You are, you are loved You are, you are The final day arrived, brought gifts and said goodbye I know somehow my days are numbered when I land tonight Guess I’ll face what comes with open arms Got left at LAX, the masses wearing masks I’m in between the place I love and needing to go back home And all I picture is that charming piece of flagstone Had my head down, channeling my inner Charlie Brown Got a blank stare fixed on the Fairfax grounds Spot a single pavement slab, graffiti clad in words that read You are, you are loved You are, you are loved You are, you are loved You are, you are You are, you are loved You are, you are loved You are, you are loved You are, you are Yeah, me, myself and I, we don’t see eye to eye Yeah, me, myself and I, we don’t see eye to eye Yeah, me, myself and I, we don’t see eye to eye Yeah, me, myself and I, we don’t see eye to eye Yeah, me, myself and I, we don’t see eye to eye We both got trouble with the ways we get our sleep at night Guess I got that in common with myself But you are, you are loved You are, you are loved You are, you are loved You are, you are You are, you are loved You are, you are loved You are, you are loved You are, you are

Growing Apart 03:26

I grew up on the back roads, the countryside There were no kids quite like me, I had no clue why And I would never really mourn correctly, so my dad stepped in He drove me up to take guitar lessons, and then you were there I had a little thing for you at recess but that bloomed so fast When you asked to come over after for extra practice We had our first kiss closely in the street lamp’s light On the hill next to your house where we spent the night I remember singing in your bedroom to your favorite songs You taught me chords and courtship and your famous pizza toasts Yeah, we were so young, where could you be? I had to look you up We lost touch, grew apart I hope you’re livin’ it up, livin’ it up Live a little On the mainland, our sophomore year A cute girl, back of the class with bangs and headphones on her ears Took a dare to strike up conversation, your laptop screen lit up “Strawberry Avalanche”? You also like Adam Young? I remember dancing in your bedroom ‘till your curtains fell You had me open up emotions that I rarely tell Yeah, we were so young, where could you be? I had to look you up You’re a mom, ‘course you are You keep on livin’ it up, livin’ it up Carry on It got harder to breathe, hard to love You were harder to keep, I was hard on us Little heart-to-hearts had to halt having love It got harder on me, I am hard to love I remember us inside my bedroom for what felt like weeks And we had just met and made a nest that made our young hearts bleed Yeah, we were so dumb, where could you be? I had to look you up You’re still on, just stay strong Just keep on livin’ it up, livin’ it up Never stop I remember dying in your spare room, we were on time-out But now that I know what really happened I’m glad time ran out Yeah, we were so wrong, where could you be? I never looked you up Sometimes gone is just gone Guess I’m just livin’ it up, livin’ it up Live a little

about

Good Young Days is all about fondly remembering right now. It's alright to acknowledge we're in the moment we're going to be talking about for years to come.

As the year 2020 was closing, I thought a lot about the people I had the pleasure of meeting and how much my friends pulled through for me. It dawned on me that I just had too many stories to tell, especially ones I wanted to get out of the way before the start of a fresh new year. That's when I went a little overboard. From November to December I wrote all of 22 songs that I recorded every instrument for. Starting with drums, bass, guitar chords and leads, percussion, writing lyrics, recording lead vocals and finishing it off with layers of backing vocals. The process was intense, sleep-depriving and emotional, but most of all a lot of fun. The result is "To All Those Affected", thank-you notes to everyone who had to deal with me in some way. I'm very lucky some of my very talented friends got to make an appearance on the album too, so special thanks to Adam Allison, EMMY, Max Coenders, Celine Rae, Imro Sellink and Ryan Scottie. Those beautifully moody photographs were taken by the very talented Melissa Vermeulen. The record was mixed by myself and mastered by the incredible Jasper Pouw at Bold Studios. Hope you all remember to live a little.
