I was supposed to tour with my good friend James Ikeda and then his car blew up in Altoona Pennsylvania. So here is this dumb ep of some songs in standard tuning that I was gonna play before James’s dumb car was ruined but it’s cool, here are those tunes

A room full of people reluctantly put up hands when you ask if they like folk punk c f c am You sing defiance Ohio and you see it makes them smile but you feel kinda empty about it c f c am Is this what growing up means, detachment from the things you loved? g am A shield of irony protects your ego c f from the weight of disappointment g f now c f c am c f am g f c g f you sit and watch the world go by c and maybe try to cry a bit f but nothings coming and you’re sick of trying am g f your mother calls you up and you’re too drunk to give a fuck c f you let it go to voicemail am g f she tells you “you had a chance to change this place am c you have a chance to change your life now, f g but you continue to move on and you’re growing old so young c g am f at least give me a chance to talk it through” am g f but you don’t know what you do am g f no you’ll never think this through c g f you just get older c

Little jokes about death turn into full fledged freak outs no concealing morbid thoughts that cloud my mind and I'm reeling from the thought that you could be gone completely in an instant and leave an incomplete me // so lets talk about you and me and our possible future are we gonna dance are we gonna keep our sense of humor i want to see your face under a veil and when you fail i’ll drive the four hours to burlington to fail with you // cause there's nothing that compares to an evening with you and the bare truth is that I couldn't bear to spend another minute alone i'm not prepared to // yeah and I can't fight the feeling that we're constantly healing old wounds and soon we'll be fighting for the right to each other's nights yeah I bet we'll stay together until it feels like forever and after we've weathered all the storms we'll still come back for more // and nothing quite compares to an evening with you and the bare truth is that I couldn't bear to spend another minute alone i'm not prepared to

It's Cool 01:55
I know we're ten years out of high school But the truth is that I miss you The way you always were so real with me you had no clue, I was always just a stranger to you Now I'm moving into Boston and I'm simply terrified Will I lose myself in whiskey or a haze of static pride I know I'm stubborn to hold on to all the feelings of the past But these feelings are so fleeting so I try to make them last Because soon all of our memories of our high school will be fading And I'll just be a face that you erase and never dated I guess that's cool, but I'll always think about you, I hope that's cool I hope you’re doing well. I know it seems that way online but you can never tell
