about

This is a song about growing up and frantically grabbing on to anything you can to remind you of your youth. There were some weird years in my teens and twenties I spent with some people I care a lot about who I don’t get to see very often, and the contents of these years continue to inform the lens I see life through, the values I approach the world with, and the pastimes I take comfort in.

lyrics

I’ve got a brand new set of blisters // and some lessons in my head // a game to some, to me a road I’ll walk // until the day I’m dead // I made good on my promise // to the rulebook that you wrote // or found on a mountain in 2000 // in the days before we spoke // 9 years in // same set of glasses day to day
I go the places that you go // I say the same things that you say // we ended up becoming good // together in the money pit // now everything’s a vodka-red for me, whatever year I’m in // nobody in here’s // above the law // there’s rules to follow // you’ll be better off // the gods are watching // and I’ll be home soon // this one’s called Rocketman and you should sing it too // red // white // red // it’s all I ever see // the world’s a million different colors that never meant that much to me // white // red // let’s play another round // I’ll sell the steel chair to the head this time, wake up tomorrow on the ground
