The Other Side (2019)

 

I've got tired eyes, a black sky
Making its home under my lash line
You keep on crying, babe, I don't mind
I'll keep on staring at the clock tryna pass time
In my life, it flies by
Faster than you could say, "I love you, goodbye"
"It's almost over," you say with a sigh
Will our lives be better when we make it to the other side?

Ah, ah
I hope we make it to the other side
Ah, ah

Eighteen, prom queen
We spend our time thinking 'bout what we'll be doing
We walk quiet streets, not afraid of the sounds
Nothing bad ever happens in this town
Mean dreams (Ah), can't sleep (Ah)
Younger me thought this'd be more bittersweet
But we never noticed (Ah) how long it'd been (Ah)
Got too caught up in the life we were living

Ah, ah
I hope we make it to the other side
Ah, ah

And I hope, I hope
All of our homes have white fences
And I hope, I hope
Our smiles are wider than theirs is
And I hope, I hope
All of our dreams are kept fragrant
And I'll meet you on the pavement
When we make it to the other side

Ah, ah
I hope we make it to the other side
Ah, ah

 

 

 

Idle Town 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Idle Town 

 

This town will never change
People come and go, it's all the same
Speed the roads on our doubting days
To any place that's far away

I never learned anybody's name
We all vowed that we wouldn't stay
Kissing signs on the interstate
All we do for now is sit and wait

In our idle town
In our idle town

 

Yeah, we invent our own little games (In our idle town)
When the lights out at the stadium, hey (In our idle town)
Making life a spinning arcade (in our idle town)
And curfew's at midnight, we watch the sunrise
We watch the sunrise
We watch the sun

Springtime when the air is thin
We're getting antsy and they're noticing
While everybody's off partying
We're watching stars over ice cream

And now we're kicking up to seventh gear
And we're breathing in the atmosphere
I don't even need a sip of beer
I can feel it all

In our idle town
In our idle town

 

Yeah, we invent our own little games (In our idle town)
When the lights out at the stadium, hey (In our idle town)
Making life a spinning arcade (In our idle town)
And curfew's at midnight, we watch the sunrise
We watch the sunrise
We watch the sun

 

And they watched the sunrise
Blinking out of red eyes, and sore minds
The airplanes keep flying by, and they cry
'Cause they've never even touched the sky
No, they'll never even touch the sky

 

Yeah, we invent our own little games (In our idle town)
And everybody's trying to escape (In our idle town)
Killing time at the yellow cafe (In our idle town)
And curfew's at midnight (In our idle town)

Yeah, I think that we'll all be okay (In our idle town)
The idle town will stay as it stays (In our idle town)
And everyone I love's in this place (In our idle town)
So, curfew's at midnight, we watch the sunrise

 

 

 

 

 

Heather (2020) 

 

 

 

 

Heather (2020) 

 

I still remember the third of December, me in your sweater

You said it looked better on me than it did you

Only if you knew how much I liked you

But I watch your eyes as she Walks by

What a sight for sore eyes

Brighter than the blue sky

She's got you mesmerised while I die

Why would you ever kiss me?

I'm not​ even half as pretty

You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester

But you like her better

Wish I were Heather

​

Watch as she stands with her, holding your hand

Put your arm 'round her shoulder, now I'm getting colder

But how could I hate her, she's such an angel

But then again, kinda wish she were dead as she Walks by

What a sight for sore eyes

Brighter than the blue sky

She's got you mesmerised while I die

Why would you ever kiss me?

I'm not even half as pretty

You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester

But you like her better

I wish I were Heather

​

Oh, I wish I were Heather

Oh, oh, wish I were Heather

Why would you ever kiss me?

I'm not even half as pretty

You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester

But you like her better

Wish I were
