about

A classic Americana style road trip song about...uh, staying put and working on yourself.

lyrics

South on 1 ‘til I see the sun
There’s nothing more for me here
That’s why I’m running
But the troubles keep coming
Great escape was a big mistake
Folly down the interstate
It’s useless – immature BS

Somebody told me there’s nothing the road cannot heal
Well you might like the nomad life, but it’s no ideal

‘Cause whatever you run from
It’s still there
You’re gonna find pieces of your ghosts
Everywhere

Used to find a beacon in the stars
And hop into my car
Destination: nowhere
Bearing: I don’t care
But halfway there I’d run out of gas
And find the moment passed
Then look up –
With the stars calling my bluff

Heard someone say on the highway there’s a million places to disappear
Well I won’t spend my days in hiding – I can’t live my life in fear

‘Cause whatever you run from
It’s still there
You’re gonna find pieces of your ghosts
Everywhere

And every place I land is full of possibility
‘Til I settle in and find my troubles came with me
So I’m gonna practice blooming where I’m planted
Cause I gotta recognize every opportunity I’ve been granted

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? ... more
