about

Something I wrote and recorded in a basement about the end of a chapter and the beginning of the next during the spring of 2014.

Special thanks to Nate Adam's dog Jack for jingling his dog collar during the process, I always wanted him to be in a song so I kept it.

For anyone who ever spent a night in the attic at the house on Southport.
And for all my friends who got lost somewhere the past few years. I hope we find our way back eventually.

lyrics

I was Looking for clarity
on how you figured yourself out
I think I found it in kerosene
just trying to keep the bad things out
Do you think it means more to me
The details in your movements
The way your hands were moving had me begging for spring

It had me thinking about memories
And how nothing felt so safe
I was feeling so temporary
It was the last night in that house
We were singing about better things
A cigarette pressed to her mouth
I could tell by the way she held it
She meant it
every word she sang

Darling I've been lost lately
I've been talking cheap about the way things used to seem
Darling I've been lost lately
I've been talking cheap about all these memories

Maybe we're just a dying breed
that still talks about ideas
The kind that aint afraid to dream
that there's more for us than here
I've been drinking too much whiskey now
I swear it's almost figured out
on the kitchen floor at three in the morning where I found peace

She was laying her head down
and making eyes across the room
I was feeling her thoughts out
She said "I wish that I could love you"
It was there in the basement
where I laid inside her soul
I could feel the sky crashing down on me
as she was clenching up her toes

Darling I've been lost lately
I've been talking cheap about the way things used to seem
Darling I've been lost lately
I've been talking cheap about all these memories

I was fighting a feeling
all my friends said come back home
It's not as bad as it looks sometimes
There's still some good here to fight for
I've got all these vices
holding all my bones
pulling at my skin
and keeping all my failures close

Darling I've been lost lately
I've been talking cheap about the way things used to seem
Darling I've been lost lately
I've been talking cheap about all these memories
