about

The first and only single of my upcoming album, Missing A Thing.

I wrote the lyrics to this song soon after moving to Portland from Hudson, New York. I was thinking about how simple little interactions with people felt much bigger as I looked for friends and ways to experience my new place as home.

lyrics

we met
in the little part of town
sat in the back
of a little run down
shop and talked
later i was saying
what happened had stayed that same
but something had changed

i could see it out
of the corner of my eye
a dark green shirt
and black hole eyes,
my cheeks got bruised
by deep long lines
words coming out loose
a quivering sigh

i won't say
goodbye again
so thank you for
giving in
to one-time looking
interested
at what you saw
when i was opening

i just
want to follow you around
the house will you
listen to the sound
of this song
made in our home
you ask me to turn it down

touched dial
fake smile
hunched over
break the cycle
get space
make waste
speak truth
many ways
take him
call home
full brim
spill some
don't stop
keep it up
