lyrics

Way Back East
Sick and tired watching mornings come
as I lie down
Exit Stereo
Slippin' Through my fingers
as I swear
I got it this time
Begging please

remembered to fall in love
forgot the elbow
grease back East
and now the sun
is setting
heading West now
not West enough
it's always Dark
around here

and it's never too late
to reInvent yourself
bury the old you
inside of new
walls to heal
I am the oldest
dog new trick
I still love
to feel like this
never
seen that smile before
Old
GlOry's
nEW Again

time's a lie
it feels so good
to cry
fade
right into
the next scene
this is
just the beginning

think we been listening
long enough
it's time to speak up
use this voice
there's still
so much
room
endless melody
written
by posterity
to pave us
into the future
choking on
the same train of thought
in darkest tunnels
I know where
I'm not
a sip of water
and a new destination
where I'm content to walk
go as slow
as I please

can't live your whole life
planning for a rainy
day in the sun
Run Sally Run
If you live long enough
it's as hard to quit
as it is not
to give up

Time's a lie
it feels so good
to cry
fade
right into
the next scene
this is just the beginning
use that pain
to hold
the next one hurting
don't you let that go
that's what makes you

I am
the oldest
dog new trick
we don't
have
to feel like this
you've
been working
on that smile
since way
back
East

about

High Pony Brooklyn, New York

Never in style but never played out either. Honesty, rawness, sincerity and real instruments are always pretty cool.
