Only If 01:11
meet me at the corner, on the stuytown side you're my big city date tonight only if that's alright only if that's all..
3.
add up the damage i must owe you something for the holes i put in your wall drunk and oblivious, i’m always so courteous but best friends get the worst of us all she just wanted to see the other room- it was off limits to you i hope i’m wrong, but they seem to only miss me when i’m leaving or on my way gone even the days start to get on without me they’re taking a lesson from you.. unleash your feelings there must be a reason for the way you’re avoiding my call the effort has been made, though, i doubt you ever paid attention to what i had to overcome i just wanted to show a side to you that i was scared i outgrew you get the bed, the apartment, the pillows and i wield the wounds that still sting when the wind blows i know you’ll hear this song, how the words go while you smoke your cigarette off by the window did you hear it yet? oh, did you feel it yet?

Oval Park 03:41
what do you really need to call it “home”? where do you see, where do you picture me, am i just meant to roam? the car is parked on a dark street and you can’t find your phone… what does it really mean to be alone? i was tracing my old treading grounds waiting for the sidewalk to give until i found you in the oval park outside the building we used to live i still see you by that windowsill in your favorite seat to get stoned- back before i knew, now, what it means to be alone. walked myself down through numbered streets until the miles hurt my feet i had ended up on B to see a glimpse of rex or bethany because they still see a side of me that used to live over on 14th… back before i left, oh, what it used to mean to feel free…
5.
take your tiny hands and grab me by my big plans take me from this borrowed room and carry me with you to anywhere let’s pack and we’ll leave right now we’ll take the roads that lead south and drive them all out of here legs, don’t fail me now let me get up before you give out on me.. it’s all adding up- the years in acts of our love the lonely buzz and the panic-that-was got lost in the flood of so many truths and the words that we used and I feel brand new at every thought of you

about

I went through handfuls of personal practice takes that had been quickly recorded- either in my own bedroom or borrowed ones, between CT and NY, on two different cellphones and a 4-track tape machine.
Each one was documented in its earliest stage of completion, directly after being written. The quality may sound a little bit raw to some, but it was a conscious decision to opt for emotion over perfection, so I hope you can appreciate it for what it is.
