The Follow Through

(album: Whenever You're Around I Hate Everything Less - 2018)

I stay awake
Like when I was young
Can't close my eyes
Till I see the sun
And If you're still there by
The time we hang up
Some thing is up
With affection
Wishing all my thoughts could match my actions
I can close my eyes to break the tension
Rushing around
Unfamiliar ground

My courage is sick
My stomach is shot
It's all in your head
Least that's what I thought
And I'll still be able
Till I scream and shout
I gotta get out
Of Vancouver
Montreal just feels a lot smoother
Rent is cheap and the air's a little cooler
Rushing around
My new burial ground

Amazing
It takes him
So long to acknowledge
His own right
In hindsight
Swallowed up in the carnage
Now I've won
The freedom
To do what I want to
I won't waste
My instincts
Persevere and follow through

Hangover ends
A fuzzy embrace
I feel the sun shine
All over my face
And before I pass out
Into the daze
My heart is replaced
With sad emotion
Maybe love is better left unspoken
Maybe I sing to you because I'm broken
Now that I've found
My original sound

Amazing
It takes him
So long to acknowledge
His own right
In hindsight
Swallowed up in the carnage
Now I've won
The freedom
To do what I want to
I won't waste
My instincts
Persevere and follow through
