You were the best of Nashville 2018
And your new fashion line is launching this spring
Flew to Korea once to swim in the East China Sea
And you made a…
Slasher flick with your artsy friends
I tried to watch it once to see if you lived
I fell asleep before the end, but I bet that you did
And you found true love backstage
Before your very first gig
At the Exit/In
You fall asleep just long enough to not dream
And your new record drops on April 16
And you’re excited for how exciting the excitement will seem
And beneath the lights it’s sweaty and hot
The crowd of faces looks familiar but not
And all the merch looks good so they line up to buy what you got
Life’s a dream
You were the best of Nashville 2018
And now you’re boxing all your things up to leave
And you’re excited for how exciting it will feel when you’re free

Discount City

I’ve always been here before
I’ve always known who was keeping score
And if I heard whispers through the wall
that you dropped a dime for me
I would just fall and fall and fall and fall
I got my heart a year ago at Discount City
A dusty hunk of long forgotten history
But in the light of humming white fluorescents
There’s a hint of something special
You can kind of see it’s kind of pretty
Now you’re not here anymore
I can’t recall what I kept you for
And if I passed you at the shopping mall
As you dropped a dime or three
I wouldn’t see your face at all at all at all at all
I got my heart a year ago at Discount City
A dusty hunk of long forgotten history
But in the light of humming white fluorescents
There’s a hint of something special
You can kind of see it’s kind of pretty
Past the alarm clock radio
Between the old discarded
Books about tending garden
Behind the messy pile of mismatched silverware
I wasn’t even searching
Like everything was working
But then I heard it beating slowly
I got my heart a year ago at Discount City
A dusty hunk of long forgotten history
But in the light of humming white fluorescents
There’s a hint of something special
You can kind of see it’s kind of pretty

Your Kids

I saw a picture of your kids
I saw a picture of your wife
I hope the weather’s good in Michigan
I hope that Jesus keeps it nice
If you’re wondering, it’s raining here
If you’re wondering, I’m fine
If you’re wondering, that isn’t true
But Jesus won’t pick up the line
I saw a picture of your kids
I saw a picture of your wife
I saw picture of your SUV
And your book club Wednesday nights
I saw myself look in the mirror
In my apartment by myself
I saw my hand reach for a bottle of
A tired cliché on the shelf
And I dreamed we were explorers
And the mountains looked so tall
And I dreamed I heard you say my name
or anything to me at all
Oh god
Oh my god
I believe
After all these things
I still believe
My god, I still believe
That you’re the one missing out
I saw a picture of your kids
I saw a picture of your wife
I hope you're happy up in Michigan
I hope that Jesus treats you nice

Down in a Minute

You’ve lived a pretty good life
Mostly smooth and clean
freckled with some very bad things
The math ain't working in your favor
No time off for good behavior
If I’m at the gate
and the clouds part way
to show what lies below
Through the smoke and the flame
If I see you there in it
I promise you this:
I’ll be down in a minute

Aimless arms, hapless heads against the curb
Ash swirls tornadoes in the wind
Busted front door locks and empty lots beneath the birds
no one expects the break after the bend
it wouldn’t matter if they did
I don’t wanna die
I don’t wanna die
But all I see is black on black on black
Hold me together when I crack
Lie to me that everything’s alright
Forty feet and fingers left to linger in the left turn lane
Shiny rainbow puddles left to bubble on the river face
Ripped cardboard writing that no one reads
Like hieroglyphics for the cynics that there used to be
until they fell into the sea
Spraypainted city courthouse thesis
This is what it said
“Kiss me hard into a million pieces
Love me til I'm dead”
Repeating in my head
I don’t wanna die
I don’t wanna die
All I see is black on black on black on black on black on black on black
I don’t wanna

I was clumsy with the truth
And I fumbled with your feelings
I’ll never get to tell you
that your heart was worth the stealing
But I bet you make a lovely wife
With punk rock dreams and Miller High Life
And just the other day I saw you
Walk across the way, I saw you
It rained instead of snowing
but the Christmas lights were on,
and we laid beside each other
playing records until dawn
And I can’t remember anything as good
As being there beside you on that floor
And just the other day I saw you
Walking up my way, I saw you
And just the other day I saw you
Walk across the way, I saw you
Walking up my way, I saw you
From so far away, I saw you
