Description
This is a song about the advice I often try to give myself but so rarely take. I recorded it in my living room doing all the playing, singing, drum programming and mixing myself.
Lyrics
When I get There It’s coming up on midnight And it’s been coming down for three hours straight Boy, Narragansett sure does empty out this time of year I’ve got the perfect view of nothing ‘Cept the rain that’s kept me company And it won’t be letting up soon Well at least that’s what I hear Refrain: Slower steps’ll get you there And still leave precious time to spare It’s nights like this that truth takes me away But as clarity comes crashing in Like the waves it’s pulled back out again I guess I’ll get there when I get there And that’s o.k. Now you can capture any moment But there comes a time to set it free You can’t blame me for hanging on to this one for a while This night could last forever You know that’d be just fine with me ‘Cause I’ve been rippin’ through these days As if they’re going out of style Refrain Now I’ll take one last look before I go ‘Cause something here just talks to me Soon it’ll fade into the background as if time’s covered it dust If life is just a scrapbook of pages filled with memories Then I wonder if we choose them or if somehow they choose us Refrain
