Keys

(album: Eraserland - 2019)

I get lonely, I erase
I get scared then float away
The sun keeps getting lower every day
Then the train pulls up and there you are
The reason why I write my songs
I swear I'll have a hit and get paid

Then you lean in and you softly explain

We should just run away
Maybe to the beaches, maybe LA
You'll get a new job and I might lose some weight
It's a nice dream anyway

Got my tattoos, lost my band
My favorite one is on my hand
You're with me everywhere that I play
And what about you? It's always me
It's time we listen to your dreams
It's easy to let your life slip away

Then you lean in and softly complain

Man, we should just run away
I'll buy us a trailer down in the keys
I'll be that bartender with boring stories
And I gotta, gotta get my shit together before I'm 40
