New Shoes
01:29
|
|||
|
I walked the halls of highschool in my shoes
but I lost them every couple of years
sometimes I’ll dream so hard I’ll cry
but I’ve come back down at least a million times
Is this everything that I wanted?
Is this everything that I wanted?
Is this everything that I wanted? Ohhhh
I moved to new york looking for a new me
I knew I’d find one eventually
but I sat there staring at the road ahead
am I sleeping, dreaming in the things I’ve said
Is this everything that I wanted?
Is this everything that I wanted?
Is this all that I hoped for? Ohhhh
And I never thought I’d find myself back here
and staying put for a couple of years
but I’ve found I love these shoes I’m in
and all the places that they’ve been

A Fall Again
05:25
|
|||
|
I’ve felt this before
and I’ve dealt with this before
I don’t know if I can do it again
I don’t think I was made for this time of the year
things are changing they break down and fall out of gear
and so lay me down, rake all the leaves on me
you can take me out when I feel okay
Light is waning like I do when I am afraid
moving backwards away from the progress it made
and so lay me down, rake all the leaves on me
I can feel you changing, won’t you be with me
You would think I would notice if I wasn’t here
basic things like that don’t always end up so clear
I should be able to deal with this all on my own
sometimes it’s not that simple
I don’t think I was made for this time of the year
people come and they go but they don’t disappear
and so lay me down, rake all the leaves on me
I can feel you changing, away from me
and so lay me down, rake all the leaves on me
I can feel you changing, away from me
I’ve felt this before
and I’ve dealt with this before
I don’t know if I can do it again
I’ve felt this before
and I’ve dealt with this before
I don’t know if I can do it again
I’ve felt this before
and I’ve dealt with this before
I don’t know if I can do it again
I’ve felt this before
and I’ve dealt with this before
I don’t know if I can do it again

“hey jon this is mitchell,
I’m probably catching you at a bad time again,
I’m not sure if you’re in new york, or seattle or montana
so i’m not exactly sure what time it is over there for you
um, but anyways I’m just trying to give you a call
see what’s going on

I guess it’s saturday night so you’re probably out doing something
maybe sunday night would be better
um but yeah hope all is well and hope that I can get ahold of you tomorrow
alright talk to you soon,
bye”

Death Day pt. 2
04:02
|
|||
|
{ I don’t see the difference
no one’s gone forever
swimming in a pool of memories
i don’t see the reason
no one lasts forever
...}
The other day I missed your death day
I don’t know how it happened
must’ve blown right by in a busy way
It got me thinking about your life
that day in the hospital
when you talked to us all one on one
Don’t know if I
see a glass half full or empty
but I’m turning twenty six this year
we lost you thirteen years ago
I don’t know why
but I find that it’s a comfort
knowing till my next birthday
you’ll have been in my life for most of it
You might think I’m a lonely heart
but I’ve actually got a full one
feeling love from every angle today
It might look like a troubled art
but this kind of thing is good for me
my own kind of therapy
Sat down today
and I wanted to write a happy song
but I only ever think of
melodies in a minor key
Sat down today
didn’t want to write a slow song
but I listen to so much music that is
sad in a beautiful way

Slow Burner
03:49
|
|||
|
I drove my car too slow today
at least the people behind me thought so
a restless honk never feels good
makes me question what I’m doing oh
I met a new person today
I didn’t know how to show who I am
oh this kind of thing can be so confusing
I keep so much of myself beneath the ground
Another month went by today
I didn’t do all the things that I said I would do
this time I fear that I’m losing
the drive that would keep me moving oh
but I’m a slow burner
I’m a slow burner
I take my time, it takes time, it takes time
I take my time, it takes time, it takes time
but I’m a slow burner
I’m a slow burner
I take my time, it takes time, it takes time
I take my time, it takes time, it takes time
‘cause I’m a slow burner
oh I’m a slow burner
I take my time, takes time, it takes time
I take my time, takes time, it takes time
I’m a slow burner
I’m a slow burner
I take my time, takes time, it takes time
I take my time, takes time, it takes time

Walk Light
03:16
|
|||
|
I almost missed the walk light
‘cause I was staring at my phone
and then I lost the train of thought I had before
My mind is going places
but they’re scattered across the world
and now I notice the people staring from their cars
I don’t wanna be on my phone
every time I think i’ve got a second
I don’t wanna look at my phone
every chance my brain would have to wander out there
I didn’t end up running
‘cause I opened up my phone
and the app told me it was supposed to rain
I made a list of groceries
but I left it back at home
and now I’m staring into space in aisle four
I don’t wanna be on my phone
every time I think i’ve got a second
I don’t wanna look at my phone
every chance my brain would have to wander out there

Welcome Breath
02:22
|
|||
|
I’ve been trying to write this song
for a long time
but I haven’t sat down
in a minute
Cold air brings my head
back down to the ground
I’ve been running in circles
with the crickets
This time fall is a welcome breath
I can breathe now
the colors shifting
moving forward
Bring your leaves to my house
I’m building a castle
and I want my friends
to jump in it
I’d been trying to talk to you
for a long time
and I am so glad
that I did it

{train creaking}
If you think that I’m crying for you I’m dying for you
you know I’m not the one who shows it on my sleeve
I’m sick and tired of being on my own
I’m so damn over talking on the phone
Today I found your clothing tucked against the wall
took me out of my day and back into it all
I almost called you on the telephone
I wanted to tell you that I felt it all again
I remember I called you from the brooklyn shore
didn’t think I could handle doing any more
I thought I wanted to be on my own
I felt so far from you on the phone
Last time I saw you I didn’t feel like I was there
always comes with everything we have to bear
I can’t control the feelings on my own
I’ll never know if I should be alone again

Green pt. 2
02:08
|
|||
|
I’ve been trying to understand myself today
can’t keep hiding from it all
don’t wanna live my life that way
Insecurities will always live in me
wrap me up into a ball
don’t wanna let them take their toll on me
Oh ‘cause I wanna learn things from the good people
the warmest ones that make you feel like your best self
I wanna build my life up like an old building
that doesn’t crumble down on me
I’ve been trying to untangle my thoughts today
I wanna have the room to think
don’t wanna to tangle anymore
Peace of mind is what I want
in the simplest form
I wanna know the ones I love
and I hope they feel it from me too
Oh ‘cause I wanna learn things from the good people
the warmest ones that make you feel like your best self
I wanna build my life up like an old building
that doesn’t crumble down on me

{the stream}
My cousin died the other day
don’t think I can make the funeral
dammit i’ve missed quite a few of those
write a song about it
as i sit across the country
It makes me think of when Grandpa died
and I was too caught up in highschool
or maybe it was just that
our family was strewn apart
trying to collect our pieces after dad died
Or was that Nonnie’s funeral
it all blurs together now
everything all at once
and everyone that I know
someday will die
but funerals are just so sad
sometimes it crushes my heart
sometimes it’s okay
Bob had a nice memorial
so many stories came out
such a rich life
so many lives
I’ll be thinking about you Matt
I know you struggled
but the last time that I saw you
you were playing guitar
in a bright room
with your family
we always loved you
and we always will
I’m so glad I got to see you that day
the whole family got to see you
you really seemed to be coming along
climbing your way back up
I know it couldn’t have been easy
it must have been so hard
life can be so hard
feeling everything all at once
life can be so hard
feeling everything all at once
life can be so hard
feeling everything all at once
life can be so hard
feeling everything all at once

It's Okay (Slow Day)
00:58
|
|||
|
It’s okay
to have a slow day
where you struggle to get up and eat
Wipe off your shoulders
of all that pressure
all your expectations and dreams
‘Cause not today
and that’s okay
gotta get back on your feet
It’s okay
to have a slow day
where you struggle to get up and eat

New Sheets
04:17

|
{sound machine (ocean)}
{sound machine (summer)}
I don’t like to think of anything as boring
I don’t like to have it as a possibility
We spent a lot of time staring at a blank wall
I think it was good for our creativity
({ I })
I like the lines on my sheets
They let me know which way they go
({ You })
You’re like the lines on my sheets
You help me know which way I’m supposed to go
Get in bed and turn on sounds of summer
I almost lose track of how cold it really is
Sweep the floor and listen to a great song
I drift in to a new clean reality
({ I })
I like the lines on my sheets
They let me know which way they go
({ You })
You’re like the lines on my sheets
You help me know which way I’m supposed to go
