If You're a Lifer

Time is wasting away.
All was quiet on the morning we met on a hot June day.
Yeah, it won't last too long.
It's a real cheap hit, if you blink you could miss it,
a real cheap hit, it's gonna go by quick,
then we're gone.
(Then we're gone).
If I'm James Dean
you're "Easy Rider."
If I'm "Led Zeppelin III"
you're "Holy Diver."
If you're Keanu in "Speed" I'm your Winona Ryder.
Why hide from history if you're a lifer?
You know I can't stand the waiting.
But it's hardly the hardest part.
I was born in the 80s.
Too late for the good shit, too early to get over it.
Too young to be dull, to old to be sharp
like James Dean.
But you're "Easy Rider."
Barely "Led Zeppelin III"
you're "Holy Diver."
You're Keanu in "Speed," I'm your Winona Ryder.
Why hide from history if you're a lifer?
When I'm forgetting my place you are the reminder.
Why hide from history if you're a lifer?

Out of Reach

Here we go, it's a Monday.
I'll carry on doing all of my Monday things.
I'll do them all again in seven days,
I've got big goals, but growing up isn't my scene.
Ooo-ooo-ooo-oooooh
so they're out of reach.
At least that's what I think.
Let's make a baby in a year or two.
(Nature willing) when there's a little less on our plates.
If I'm lucky it will be like you.
Cuz if we stall 'til my hearts peaceful, god, that's gonna be a wait.
Ain't it just like they told me?
Ooo-ooo-ooo-oooooh
but it's just out of reach.
At least that's what I think.
It's woefully dystopian, it's a leaky little boat we're in.
And the channel is wide.
I'll count your strokes, keeping track of it, before I really put my back in it:
a mutually assured bummer vibe.
And in the sad event we don't see the other side
ooo-ooo-ooo-oooooh
it was just out of reach.
At least that's what I think.

Matter of Trust

Chariot drivers let me know
if you can just hang tight on swinging low.
I'm not that worried about my soul
but I can't just Irish out and go.
It's just a matter of trust
to let me love you.
It's just a,
it's just a matter of trust.
Forgive me William, I don't know,
I must have heard you on the radio.
So sue me like you need the dough!
You wouldn't do that to me Bill Joel...
would ya?
No.
It's just a matter of trust
to let me love you.
It's just a,
it's just a matter of trust.
I'm trying to tell you the truth
overhearing me on the other line.
It's hard to sing you the blues
when you're looking me square in the eye.
But I'm never lying to you valentine.
It's just a matter of trust
to let me love you.
It's just a,
it's just a matter of trust.

Back to the Start

There's a room I keep under lock and key,
walking by it ten times a day at least.
Absentmindedly touching the door knob
expecting it to be cool or hot.
But it's not.
I can’t change,
and lord I want to.
Might seem strange,
but it’s hard to go back to the start.
It's hard to go back to the golden age now
that we are so far apart.
I’m waiting for curtain call from side stage while
wishing I had one more shot.
Today I drilled a peep hole,
the racket raising every damn soul.
Saw shapes that made it hard to breathe,
things I know are there but try not to see:
all the ugliness inside me.
I can’t change,
and lord I want to.
Might seem strange,
but it’s hard to go back to the start.
It's hard to go back to the golden age now
that we are so far apart.
I’m waiting for curtain call from side stage while
wishing I had one more shot.
I can’t change,
and I don’t want to.
I just want to go back to the start.
Might seem strange
when moving on to
just want to go back to the start.
Maybe tonight I’ll set them free
and let em get their yayas out on me.
Roll my eyes at some while they give me grief,
let others stare me down while I beg and plead ,
"Get back in there by morning please."
I can’t change,
and lord I want to.
Might seem strange,
but it’s hard to go back to the start.

Lost track of these guys for a couple years, then saw the Tiny Desk concert come up in my feed. I've had the album on loop on Spotify since Friday. This song in particular has been stuck in my head all afternoon.
