Fresh Start 02:13
I wrote a song for you I never thought it’d speak to me I jumped, I missed, and now I’m back And I’ve never felt more free Still I can’t help but feel I’m giving up This dream just wasn’t for me I learned a lot about myself, Like that I don’t know a thing about myself Packed up my life In little boxes in the back of a van Hit the 295 when reality set in I never thought I’d be this lost This is my first day without a plan I don’t know where I belong But I’m finally alive, so I hope I’m meant to live I hope I’m meant to live I wrote a letter To everyone I ever loved Then I burned the pages Sometimes just writing the words down is enough I need to stop hating Everything I try to get into And if there’s one thing I don’t hate, Its loving you Packed up my life In little boxes in the back of a van Hit the 295 when reality set in I never thought I’d be this lost This is my first day without a plan I don’t know where I belong But I’m finally alive, so I hope I’m meant to live I hope I’m meant to live

I wish I could restring my guitar But I keep putting it off Cause I gotta put food in my stomach And gas in my car I thought that if I got a new job That it would make me feel better And I’m still hanging onto that idea I still haven’t restrung my guitar Christmas is coming soon and I wish that I could buy a few Things to show what you mean to me Can’t even buy strings for my guitar

Narrow Mind 00:22
All my friends have enemies, at least thats what it seems But I’m a sucker for forgiveness and apologies and coming clean Burning bridges never was a habit of mine The world is too small and I know I’ll cross again sometime Our time is too short to keep a narrow mind
4.
The universe doesn’t want me to get better I’m always losing the race Even when I get to the finish line The wind is still in my face All I wanna do is get my life together But all I’m really good at is writing these songs For what they’re worth, I think I’ve done better But I need to represent how I’m doing with my life The universe doesn’t want me to get better I don’t even believe in fate The hole I’m in is the one I dug myself I gotta fix my mistakes The universe doesn’t want me to get better It’s really just me, maybe I just need to do better

I’d build a house in the woods if I could Just to spend some time offline This cell phone is burning a hole in my pocket With everyone else’s lives And sometimes I like to sleep And sometimes I like to forget about things Our world is polluted with lights and sounds Sometimes I wish I’d lived before distractions were around And I could spend time with you And no one would have to ask what we’re up to I’d build a house in the woods if I could If only I knew how to build a house
6.
I’m on three years of self-recorded EPs In my basement or bedroom On tapes and CDs I’d make the artwork And then mix and then master It may not be the prettiest But I wouldn’t have it any other way These songs belong to me I wear them on my sleeve They’re the ones that iTunes and Spotify won't see I’ll put this up on Bandcamp To download for free It won’t make me famous But I wouldn’t have it any other way
7.
Day in and day out in the same cold town Living is a chore when you’re this locked down If we could, we’d be living loud in different places every night But don’t we all want to escape the nine to five Stage dives and pile-ups are calling out my name As long as I’m in motion I will never go insane

She looked at me and said “it could be much worse” “But it should be better”, I replied But you woke up today and you made us both breakfast Yesterday’s behind you and somehow you survived If you get through tomorrow, the next day and another We’ll be a few days closer to a New England summer I know how the snow makes you sad And what you’re going through isn’t helping But life’s not all that bad She told me even when you’re broken Your heart is still golden And life’s not all that bad Don’t forget what you’ve been given And don’t ever stop singin’ Life’s not all that bad Me and all my friends, we’re stuck in this hole together And it could tear us apart Or we could work together, cause together we are stronger We’re all hurting, who are we to hurt each other? But life’s not all that bad She told me even when you’re broken Your heart is still golden And life’s not all that bad Don’t forget what you’ve been given And don’t ever stop singin’ Life’s not all that bad

When I was ten years old My future seemed so clear Grow up and go to college Get a degree and a career But my hearts not in it And I can’t be confined To the bandwagon of social norms Dictating our lives I’m mess, I’m a joke My life’s gone up in smoke But as long as I keep saying that I’ll always feel alone I’m so gone I wish I could feel ten years old There’s this girl And you wouldn’t believe She’s a constant in my life And she keeps me on my feet Someday I wont be as Distant as I seem But at least I have her And I hope that she has me I’m quiet and I’m nervous I don’t mean to let you down But as long as I keep breathing I’ll keep figuring myself out I wish life could be as simple as when I was ten years old Like before I got weighed down By the truth of growing up When I could talk to anyone Before I lost my trust Nothing is easy and I’m not ten years old
10.
Well I guess that I’ll keep going Another dollar, another day And I guess that I’ll keep doing What comes natural to me Well I guess that I have no idea What I’m supposed to do To get this train on track so I’ll keep trying to make it move Woa-oa-oa I’m gonna do more tomorrow than I did yesterday Woa-oa-oa Life’s about getting up and doing it, you can’t live for the wait Woo!
