For Everyone

Sun in your eyes
You wanted more
Won’t you miss life
It's gone
They could get by
You're high above
Won’t you come down
I'm gone
I could get Low
Down by you
Caught you in the act
I saw before
Cut you like a knife
You're gone
We could get old
I like you
Drinking up the water
I know it's not
For everyone

Sweetheart
03:00
|

|
I feel at home
Sippin chamomile
On the porch where you live
I feel your bones
In the blankets I get warm
Next to you
I wait outside
There’s a sleeping dog
Hiding under the steps
You're on my mind
And I can’t get back to work
And now I'm thinking about the way
You can hold me up against it
I've been wandering all the way
Back to you sweetheart
(Sigh)
I know those stars
Like another life
Is about to begin
That moon is large
And it lights up both your eyes
And now I'm thinking about the way
You can hold me up against it
I've been wandering all the way
Back to you sweetheart
(Sigh)

I made the climb
Gave me vertigo
We can see everything blooming in the gold
I've got a bad way
Of slowing down
I break up then come back and you're holding on
When we both know
I'm always getting lost in my overthinking
It's the last thing
You wanna stay strong
When you're feeling like I won’t
Be the only thing right
I can be every moment
That you want
You can leave me in the dark
If it makes you feel right
If it makes you feel right
I saw your back
And you turn to go
Is it something on your mind made you get too low
I've got a bad way
Of viewing things
I get up then come down and you're wondering
If I should go
Ive never been the type to say what you're thinking
It's the last thing
You wanna stay strong
When you're feeling like I won’t
Be the only thing right
I can be every moment
That you want
You can leave me in the dark
If it makes you feel right
If it makes you feel right

When My Love Was Gone
03:04
|
|||
|
When my love was gone
And I was weightless
I had nothing left
To hold me down
When my head was gone
And I could take this
Stood out in the snow
And said it loud
I was on the edge of all I wanted
I had nothing left and took a moment
When my hand was still
The world was shaking
You were blurry then
But I could call
You had only just
Begun to see it
I felt real again
But that was all
I was on the edge of all I wanted
I had nothing left and took a moment
I was good but then I let my words out
You just smiled and said you like me anyway

Cut It Out
02:51
|
|||
|
I've tried to stay within the notes
I see you there beyond the smoke
There’s a fire put it out
I don't wanna get burned again
I can stay within the dark
I'm repeating just what you said
I lay it out
I'm just trying to live it up
We mess around
You’ve been calling my phone again
I want you here I need your lips
I sink beneath your fingertips
I see a figure in the window
I don't wanna know who it is
They're slipping something in the door
It's a shadow its coming in
I push it out
I just wanna be rid of it
We cut it out
It's a funny thing isn’t it
I know you want to make believe
We're holding on to everything
But I can’t find
A ledge to hold on to

Move On
02:59
|
|||
|
It's a lonely road to tread
When you're trying to stay clean
I found peace and cleared my head
I found others just like me
When I finally get to bed
Let it go ill let it be
I'm moving on
It was easier to hide
When they dragged us to the pews
Put my feelings to the side
We were numb and had the blues
I could never get it right
No one told me what to do
I moved on
Met my baby after school
We got married in the heat
And they know that I’m a fool
It's their favorite part of me
And we make up our own rules
No one tells us who to be
We've moved on
If they bury me today
I'm ok with how I went
I don't care what they may say
I don't need to play pretend
If I know that you're ok
I can meet you in the end
Just move on

Leave That Town
03:26
|
|||
|
I wanted to leave that sound
Of the cars moving along that town
And you were chipping away
Leaving a pile of dust
Nothing to say
Holding the last house up
And my arms are gettin heavier
You're moving your bangs to the side
And the sun sits at the back of your eyes
And now were sleeping in trees
I'm watching the birds sit and talk
Looking around
Falling asleep till it stops
And I can stop thinking
And the clear steps are useless
When I’m awake
I wanted to leave that town
And you’re hopeless when you undress
Now I’m awake
I wanted to leave that town

The Words
03:57
|
|||
|
The words are coming out today
They leave your mouth and find my name
I wanna love you anyway
You built a house and lay in it
You hug your wife you kiss your kids
And we'll pretend you don't exist
(Oooo)
The land is sloping up and down
I find a field and lay around
A flower never makes a sound
A garden bed is good enough
I tend to it but nothing comes
I stay until I turn to dust
(Oooo)
I wanna hold you up
I don't need to feel the water when it comes
I'm outside and I am burning in the sun
I don't mind if it's for you
If it's for you

Just Gettin By
03:15
|
|||
|
Flying around
I got high up there
Got up too close and fell down
Couldn’t hear warnings
I didn’t care
Till the ones I still like weren’t around
And what would I give for that now
Driving to town
With the music low
Saw you again and you're back
Thought I was good
But I had to go
I get caught up in things that I lack
I know you know me like that
But that's way behind
Nothing is permanent in this life
Everyone's just gettin by
Sit at the bar
I got low again
Made up my mind to forget
Couldn’t get far enough from my own thoughts
Had to kick someone out of my bed
And I know what you would have said
Finding a place
I can settle in
Made you a spot next to mine
Picture you there asking where have I been
It still hurts when you're on my mind
But I'd go there a thousand times
But that's way behind
Nothing is permanent in this life
Everyone's gotta get by

I'm About To Land
02:48
|
|||
|
Dusty lens in your eye
I can hear you on the other side
Lining up your thoughts
So heavy from the top
Oh oh oh
Lighting up your cigarette
I can taste your smoke billowing
Pushing out the air
Too high to meet you there
Oh oh oh
I'm about to land
I'm about to land
Bones are creaking loud
I'm following the sound
Oh oh oh
Drunk enough to sing along
You're happy when you're nodding off
I could pick you up
You're sleeping in the truck
Oh oh oh
Head against the steering wheel
I can leave you when I know it's real
I'm about to land
I'm about to land
Bones are creaking loud
I'm following the sound
Oh oh oh
I'm about to land

I Wanna Be Loved By You
03:06
|
|||
|
When the rain starts to come on down
I wanna be loved by you
I wanna stand underneath your cover
And feel your warmth
When our hands brush each others arms
I hope that you feel it too
I know I’m not what you thought I'd be
But I can be more
And you don't have to tell the truth
I'm just tired of feeling blue
I wanna be loved by you
I wanna be loved by you
When the weight starts to break my back
I wanna be loved by you
I wanna crawl back into your arms
And float around
When your lips kiss my lips again
I know that it's coming soon
And you’ll leave me in the dark
And won’t make a sound
And I'll wander the world alone
Till you tell me that I can come home
I wanna be loved by you
I wanna be loved by you

EFBN TAPES

I've been in absolute awe of this demo tape since I received the physical tape in my EFBN pre-order package. So glad it's been released digitally for everyone to hear. This version of American Dreams seriously might be my favorite recording by any artist in history.

Psychedelic, powerful, lyrically mature. This album is falling in love, losing it and moving on, but with that love still remaining, tucked away until it returns or is replaced with a new one.
