Left my glasses in your glove box
Now i’m sitting picking up socks
Thinking about how we went upstate
Your cousin took care of what we ate
Took the bridge over lake huron
Counted miles that could fit on
The long stretch stay inside the outer lane
You can stare out the window pane
Talked about if we could survive
If we jumped off
Would it be concrete or water
Could you swim to shore
There are times when we’ve all wondered
Took the wrong road to the trail
Wasted hours
Didn’t matter we still got there saw
The cliffs covered in pictures
Made me wonder what i’d do
Without you
What i’d do

I wanna meet river
I wanna meet piper
Watch them grow older
Watch them grow closer
I wanna skip this part
Go where it gets better
I wanna understand
Why tragedy happens
When you cry
I can hear it
When you feel
You can show it
It’s ok not to know it
When you don’t
Someday i’ll meet river
My sister will raise her
And i will hold piper
And so will my brothers
When you cry
I can hear it
When you feel
You can show it
It’s ok not to know it
When you don’t
Walked with you this winter
Watched you go back to work
I promise you someday
We’ll get why this happened
When you cry
I can hear it
When you feel
You can show it
It’s ok not to know it
When you don’t

You were working at the metro park
And you got me in after dark
And we laid in the grass
And watched the lightning pass by
You said don’t worry if we get wet
I’ve got some towels in the back
And we stayed there ‘til 4
Then it started to pour
Oh Annie won’t you stay around a while
Yeah I could make do with only a smile
We were walking through Hamtramck after eating shitty tacos
And you asked to hold my hand
Just so you could crack my knuckles
Yeah I like your little quirks the way that you tug at my shirt
And how your always taking trips
And you never wash your denim
Oh Annie won’t you stay around a while
Yeah I could make do with only a smile
When I called you out you pulled me in
And said that you meant everything
You ever said to me
Ever since that dinner party
Annie I’m sorry I love you
come sit down and let me hold you
I just get stuck in my head
but you always help me get out
Oh I want you to stay around a while
Yeah I want to keep waking with a smile
Oh I want you to stay around a while
Yeah I want to keep waking to your smile

Sing For You

I’m sitting at the corner table
A little drunk a bit unstable, tonight
But I leave my house with hopes to clear my mind
Of all those memories
Yeah you and I we went to Paris
We went to Kona
And I showed you where my parents grew up
And i held your hair the first time you threw up
But now I sit alone
When I followed through You looked the other way
If I sing for you Would it make you want to stay
But when I see the truth I know that you are not the one for me
It’s 3am and I’m not sleeping
just wondering how you enjoy your evenings my dear
It was so sudden it was so cavalier
What was it I did wrong
So when will I start to feel better
When will I enjoy the summer again
Think that’s on me think I should phone a friend
I’m coming back around
When I followed through You looked the other way
If I sing for you Would it make you want to stay
But when I see the truth I know that you are not the one for me
Come on pick your head up
Come on make your bed
Come on pick your head up
You’ve got plenty of rest
When I followed through You looked the other way
If I sing for you Would it make you want to stay
But when I see the truth I know that you are not the one for me

The night i went to see
The oakland golf course green
My finger’s cracked at the crease
Wintertime skin was dry
Ooh
Ooh
The stillness of the sky
Could not keep my mind
All i am is who i’m with
I realized, i realized
Ooh
Ooh

If We Ever

If we ever got together oh i’d take you by the hand
Oh we’d drive to california drive wherever we wanted
Wash our hands with bottled water
Spit our toothpaste in the grass
We could sleep in the backseat or on the couches of our friends
Watch the sunset in sedona
See your cousins in bay point
Maybe see a band or two that never makes it to detroit
And if you ever get tired you know I would take the wheel
Or maybe we could slow things down and buy a house up on a hill
You are hoping that if you wait around I might start to change
Maybe I should cause you’d be there whenever I call your name
But i know you’ve got a few things you should work through I do to
So just take a step back and think about you
If we ever got together oh I think we’d be alright
We would probably make it 40 years and live a decent life
Yeah I know that you are patient
And I know that you are kind
Even better I like all your friends and you like all of mine
And if I ever said I loved you you would look me in the eyes
And you’d ask me why it took me so much time to realize
Well i wanted to be certain yeah I wanted to be sure
That if I took you out to dinner
I’d want to take you to the church
You are hoping that if you wait around I might start to change
Maybe I should cause you’d be there whenever I call your name
But i know you’ve got a few things you should work through I do to
So just take a step back and think about you

When my brother called and asked if I could join him on the road
I looked online to find a ticket to fly to colorado
Ethan I drove you to the park your sisters were on their phones
The next day we went to Lost lake and I saw how much they’ve grown
And I knew the truth
If at the end of my days
All i have is you
Its enough
I moved home from school you took me in
And I had my own room
You still call it my room though its been a few years since I moved
I’d play you guitar the same songs my dad would play for me
Natalie you’d sing the wrong words and then laugh and smile at me
And I knew the truth
If at the end of my days
All i have is you
If my accomplishments have all been torn into
I dont mind as long as I know I’ve got to
Its enough
And I’m just hoping I don’t change
I don’t change
There are times when I shut down and waste my mornings on the floor
Then i remind myself I have everything I could ask for

You were walking out the bar
When i came up and asked you where your headed this evening
You said your worn out but I was really being persistent
And asked you not to leave
You smiled and you turned around and we sat down
And then you started sharing your story
And we talked all night and we laughed until the light of the morning
And then we had to leave
Well I think maybe its you Yeah we could be alright
You came out of the blue And brought me into the light
Well maybe its you You give me something to write
Julia you’d hang around at all the clubs and venues whenever I’m performing
Well how did you get here I don’t do any promotion
But I loved to see your face
And then one night after a show out on the road
I asked you if you’d come with
And you said you’d love your job but you still quit it
So you and I could leave
Well I think maybe its you Yeah we could be alright
You came out of the blue And brought me into the light
Well maybe its you You give me something to write
I slipped up and lost my voice and you drove off in panic so i started to worry
Well how could I have done this julie why don’t you answer
I’m staring at the floor
Then I heard a muffler your at the door
And I see you’ve been crying
And you said it was just all about the timing
But your not gonna leave
Well I think maybe its you Yeah we could be alright
You came out of the blue And brought me into the light
Well maybe its you You give me something to write

Phone Call

And i flew to nevada
Where you showed me i loved you
You drove to every wedding
Despite the shape of your ring
Last night i got a phone call
My mom she shook while we talked
And I cried in my basement
About both of our regrets
Cause i thought about calling you
Instead we’ll talk at your funeral

Pistons

I can’t believe that you took savannah’s car out on the day of a snow storm
That mercedes could’ve cost you thousands
Driving past the palace do you remember when your friend’s dad got us all
Free tickets to the pistons
They’re tearing that place down to bits the walls have nearly been demolished
The nosebleed seats i knew the best are gone and the stairs underneath them
But I am fine
I haven’t folded
Just gotta keep looking where i’m going
Man I don’t know
I might be nowhere
Just gotta keep looking where I’m going
I can’t believe that you kept a calendar
Of all the things that you stole from the meijer
You know that could’ve really messed your life up
Driving past your parents do you remember
When we’d sit in the basement
Now those stairs only lead to storage
Last time we talked you were unemployed
You hung up the phone sounding despondent
I know I haven’t been around I’ve been to tangled in my own mess
But man we are fine
We haven’t folded
Just gotta keep looking where we’re going
Man I don’t know
We might be nowhere
Just gotta keep looking where we’re going

You can call me out
For not listening
For not taking time to recognize what you need
But I’ll come around
And I’ll lift you up
And I’ll take you to the places you want to be
You and me
We’ll watch black mirror and you’ll look the other way
And i’ll make you dinner If you help clean up the place
Yeah we could write music Or we could go out tonight
Yeah anything you want I will be by your side
Right by your side
You can call me out
For not listening
But i promise you you won’t have to tell me twice
About where you want
To be next year
We can move down south and dodge those Michigan winters
We’ll still watch black mirror and you’ll look the other way
And i’ll make you dinner If you help clean up the place
Yeah we could make music And get all the lyrics right
Yeah anything you want I will be by your side
Right by your side
Right by your side
(anything that you want)
(anywhere that you go)
(anywhere that you are)
We’ll still watch black mirror and you’ll look the other way
And i’ll make you dinner If you help clean up the place
Yeah we could make music And get all the lyrics right
Yeah anything you want I will be by your side
Right by your side

Miracle

I can feel it coming down
Watching you try to rest now
When the surgeon said to you
There would be no surgery
And christ is coming for you
For you
You were ok with the news
And I wish that was not true
But I can feel for you
For you
I wasn’t born long before it
When they split open your stomach
We flew to california
And they gave you five years to live
And your still with us now
And I’m almost 24
You were ok with the news
And I wish that was not true
But dad I feel for you
For you
You’re a miracle
Clothed in marigold
Safe inside his fold
Walking streets of gold
You’re our miracle
