I got a one-way love with nicotine
And I reek of cigarettes
Ashes fill my fingertips
And lines show from the stress
I got lovers up in Calgary
Who tell me I'm depressed
And whisper through their hollow lies
"It would be just the best"
But I don't know if I believe
That everything is meant to be
I just don't know if I can believe
And I don't know if I believe
That time will heal eventually
All of my wounds feel permanent to me
Oh I'm stuck, I'm stuck living in the
I'm stuck, I'm stuck living in the
I'm stuck, I'm stuck living in the in-between
So it ain't no news I'm no Goody Two-Shoes
I'm sorry to confess
That most nights I'm just lonely now
With whiskey-stained regrets
Oh I keep searching but I'm getting older
And older breath by breath
And getting old is getting old for me
It burns down in my chest
That I still don't know if I believe
That everything is meant to be
I just don't know if I can believe
And I don't know if I believe
That time will heal eventually
All of my wounds feel permanent to me
'Cause I'm stuck, I'm stuck living in the
I'm stuck, I'm stuck living in the
I'm stuck, I'm stuck living in the in-between
Oh I'll be 21 in just a year
My father used to tell me
"Son, music's no career" so
I'm a little old but it's my only way of coping with the fear
I'm stuck, I'm stuck living in the
I'm stuck, I'm stuck living in the
I'm stuck, I'm stuck living in the in-between
(Yeah I don't know if I believe
That everything is meant to be
I just don't know if I can believe
And I don't know if I believe
That time will heal eventually
All my wounds feel permanent to me)

Two new songs from the Nashville musician (and drummer in Sad Baxter) reveal a talent for rock hooks and anthemic power pop aesthetics. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 11, 2022
All the instruments used in these songs are so well chosen to add that spark that sends as shiver down my spine or give a skip in my step. Another winner. :) k760
