O.K. 02:25
O.K. I waiting on anything I was hoping that you might bring Something more than this dark horse wave Don't give me something that they already gave You were playing the diplomat Kissing strangers at laundry mats Pretending you have seen this all before Playing bouncer by the exit door But you Don't know Where it is No, you Don't know where it is No, you Don't know where it is And that's O.K. After three will come 4 and 5 Everyone's trying to survive A wake up call that will never be sent You said you're fine, but I know what you meant Sick of channeling all this rage Sick of being told to act my age Sick of being told I'm ‘young for that’ Don't know much, but I know where it's at But you Don't know Anything No, you Don't know anything No, you Anything And that's O.K.

Waiting for a Ride I was waiting for a star to fall, but I know I waited far too long Oh on Oh no Everyone fakes what they don't know Couch trip through another day and kill some time till the sunlight fades Oh no Oh no Another cheap night down at the show So call your friends you think you have and borrow the car from your mom and dad Oh no Oh no Blue album Track on time to go To squeeze into a noisy room across from a park with a killer view Oh no Oh no Finish your drink it's time to go Fade away on down the street because their some folks there that you gotta meet Oh no Oh no Everyone's waiting for this show But you just stood there waiting Somewhat hesitating, quietly contemplating If anyone else here feels the same as you Leaves are falling down outside you're still home waiting for a ride

Shipwreck 03:50
Shipwreck You're an actor and you've won over this crowd You're a painter and your colours are so loud You're a breath mark, you let the silences slip in I'm a shipwreck, no one knows where I've been You're a poet searching for that perfect rhyme You're on the roof top just waiting for that sign You're a dirt road leading me to the unknown I'm the student just waiting to be shown You're lightning and you light up every room As we anticipate the storm that's coming soon You're the daybreak warming everything in sight I'm the night sky that has given up the fight You're an actor and you've won over this crowd You're a painter and your colours are so loud You're a breath mark, you let the silences slip in I'm a shipwreck, no one knows where I've been

South Side 03:46
South Side I hear you calling my name From the South side of the street Just a distraction, pay no attention To the South side of the street I saw them tearing it down That old place where we used to play That memory we got becomes a parking lot On the South side of the street Don't tell me I'm afraid of change When you're afraid of staying the same Sometimes when I see you walking I hear laughing when you're calling my name But everything has got to change On the South side We’re going to waste away On the South side Down at the Cone and Shake On the South side It's gonna be O.K. On the South side On the South side I'm gonna make you see On the South side There's a little part of me On the South side That’ll always be On the South side

Paint on your Hands I got a one way ticket to there And I'm leaving it here for you Because one of us has got to leave And I'm praying that someone is you This town is allergic to change The storefronts they just rearrange The use things that nobody needs You're the flower amongst all the weeds I got a one way ticket to there And I'm leaving it here for you Because one of us has got to leave And I'm praying that someone is you The marks on my hands let me know There's nowhere left for me to go The paint on your hands help me see There's somewhere else you need to be I got a one way ticket to there And I'm leaving it here for you Because one of us has got to leave And I'm praying that someone is you

about

A collection of songs inspired by the hometown.
A memory mix of barn parties, wood paneled basements, garage bands, great friends, love, loss and the belief that everything changes, even when it stays the same.

was gonna be enough to drive us all away
We knew that, we'd be back
