Light of Day

Lost in the half-light
Flying from lamppost to luminary
Paralyzed by stage fright
Some time ago, the future got scary
Stuck in permanent hibernation
‘Til you had all of the information
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
and let in the light of day
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
and let in the light of day
Sealed all the cracks up
Kept out the air, kept out the sun
Made it so easy
Hiding away from everyone
And your friends couldn't say they know you well
You're just a shell, so
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
and let in the light of day
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
and let in the light of day
It takes a while
To adjust to the blue and the white
Once you stop squinting
You'll see it's gonna be alright...

Grand Central Station

Stepped off the bus, looking like a lonely suburban boy who just
Stepped off the bus, with no idea what he was stepping into
Looked all around, saw nothing familiar, and my heart started racing
Scanning the crowd for a welcome from you
I’ve never seen so many people shuffling in and out of one place
This would be so much easier if I’d ever seen your face
I’m here in the concourse at Grand Central Station
I hope that you get this OK
What am I doing here in Grand Central Station?
Feels like I’m running away…
Thinking back when we chatted all night and into the morning
Losing track of the minutes and miles
I said “I’m right here,”
You said “Maybe that’s true, but I’m still hugging my pillow,
I just want you next to me for a while…”
“Well, if it isn’t too expensive, I could visit over break.
It’s seeming crazier every second, but it’s a chance I want to take.”
Did you get my last message? I’m at Grand Central Station
And I think I’m gonna like this town
You said you would meet me at Grand Central Station
And from there you would show me around
Now there’s a dude in torn up t-shirt trying to sell me hash
And an old punk, earbuds bleeding a song by The Clash
Crowds of people ebb and flow, a travelers’ tide
There’s no sign of anything like you, but I’ll wait here ‘til the nervousness subsides
I’m here in the concourse at Grand Central Station
Departures, arrivals, and me
There’s stars on the ceiling and marble below me
But they’re not what I came here to see
Anyway, you’ve got the number
Give me a call when you get this
I might check out the shops or just roam
But if I never see you, I’ll think of what could have been
As I catch my connection home

Haunted

one more mile out of town
one less sorrow left to drown
one more person that I never thanked
one more way to walk the plank
so let the sun bleach this memory
and the vultures pick it dry
there'll be nothing left to bring a tear to my eye
is there a part of my life that you haven't haunted?
not a care on my mind
not another glance behind
not a chain to drag me down
not another soul around
so let the sun bleach this memory
and the vultures pick it dry
there'll be nothing left to bring a tear to my eye
there's no part of my life that you haven't haunted
I hope you're happy
'cause it looks like you got what you wanted
it's just another sleepless night
another gnawing appetite
one more frozen sun to set
one more day to forget

Hi. I’m Andrew. I play keyboards. I also sing. Occasionally, I do both together. What does that sound
like?
Imagine Ben Folds, Joe Jackson and the members of Death Cab for Cutie meeting at a party and forming a supergroup. Divide that by 7. If Ben's train leaves the station at 3:30, how much fuel will it have burned by the time it’s passed Joe’s house? Wait, what were we talking about again?
