Over Again (24 Hour Album 2023)

There I was, on the pier In the middle of the turn When the body becomes different And the heart beats for another moon I said goodbye to you I said goodbye to you I said goodbye to you I said goodbye to you Little fish great big sea You were insignificant Hard working against the tide You become something complete I said goodbye to you I said goodbye to you I said goodbye to you I said goodbye to you All that matters now is changing After I looked in the glass Something stays and something fading Letting go of what has past I said goodbye to you I said goodbye to you I said goodbye to you I said goodbye to you Simple thing so innocent We were a drawing in the sand When I let you swim away Water slipping from my hands I said goodbye to you I said goodbye to you I said goodbye to you I said goodbye to you

The group of men sat at the table Fingers rigid on the cards In their hands my fate was fabled Bellied up now to the bar Bluffing just to get a word in Choke on the smoke of the cigar So I showed a little too much heart That’s the shape of my new scar I’ve got other cards to play I’ve got other cards to play So I’m walking away Living in a kind of stupor Wondering if I played it wrong Would some different kind of future Be the place that I belong? Tangled up in roots of regret I got growing round the room Need a spade to dig up now Joker played me like a fool I’ve got other cards to play I’ve got other cards to play So I’m walking away Tricksters, hustlers Betting all my luck sir Knuckle down, trickle down Full house on the fence, girl In my own defense I swore That I was giving you the right one Even though it felt wrong And if that’s the beauty When will I see Kings and and queens got nothing on me Back where I started What I always wanted stuck up my sleeve So let it be I’ve got other cards to play I’ve got other cards to play So I’m walking away

Turning on, the tv glow And we’re on our phones Cause we need a little rest Washed ashore, on our own Just decompressing In this modern romance Love on a Tiny Island It’s just you and I The world’s just making noise But I don’t hear a thing Except your heart beat I watched the film how to fall in love in every season Sweaters decking the hall It’s dangerous because I might Being setting expectations But our love is out of sight Love on a Tiny Island It’s just you and I The world’s a naughty noise maker But I don’t hear a thing Except your heart beat And the world turns slower When were together on the couch Love on a Tiny Island It’s just you and I The world’s a naughty noise maker But I don’t hear a thing Except your heart beat

Feelings from the little town parade And when the thunderstorm speaks your name Warm fire when the dusk is laying down Family when we’re gathered all around Didn’t think I’d feel this way at all Got back something I didn’t know I lost Biscuits in the breakfast nook I got bees and my niece on my property, living like I should Whiskey on a summer afternoon I got the wind in my hair, honey in my glass, and I’m feeling food Feelings from the flowers in the spring The sweet smell of the bread I’m baking Watching the windmill in the rain All the little birds singing out your name Didn’t think I’d feel this way at all Got back something I didn’t know I lost Biscuits in the breakfast nook I got bees and my niece on my property, living like I should Whiskey on a summer afternoon I got the wind in my hair, honey in my glass, and I’m feeling food All around the world I’m searching for bliss 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.“ All around the world I’m searching for bliss 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.“ Biscuits in the breakfast nook I got bees and my niece on my property, living like I should Whiskey on a summer afternoon I got the wind in my hair, honey in my glass, and I’m feeling food I got the wind in my hair, honey in my glass, and I’m feeling good I got the wind in my hair, honey in my glass, and I’m feeling good

All the cranes, on their way to the south west Rest for grain in the dry cornfields Carry you, on their backs and in their feathers Over plains, and the wide Sandhills You became something new to me When I lost you All the roads the look familiar Could’ve sworn I was here when I was younger In the car you’d play us Eric Clapton In the backseat, I’d look up at the stars You became something new to me When I lost you And what’s left My letters sent And art projects that you kept Storing up for another long winter Pull the coach into another campground

We Grow Up 03:36
ndustry woe is me Back in the basement again Falling in to where I started Hitting myself on every branch on the way down Advertisements so enticing Gotta get on my feet again Did it all for the right reasons This is all they said I wanted So why don’t I like the feel of it? We grow up Fall down and Get old And do it all over again Man on the moon, it’s not up to you When your parents get old(er) I got a clue, so I had to get out And drive back home to you-ou-ou We grow up Fall down and Get old And do it all over again Internet I doubt you get it Until you’re in my shoes This bittersweet symphony of Spending this time with you Here’s money for the tooth And all the other things you loose I don’t recognize this room I don’t recognize you We grow up Fall down and Get old And do it all over again
