we spend a lot of time at the kitchen table or laying on the lawn staring at the neighbors we might feel things too much i don’t think i mind cause the grass is too green and our lives feel so wide i’m takin off my shoes i’m closin my eyes i’m takin off my shoes i’m stayin for a while we drink too much wine get drunk and laugh it off dance around the room feel like nothing could break us i’m takin off my shoes i’m closin my eyes i’m takin off my shoes i’m stayin for a while i’m takin off my shoes i’m hangin around i’m takin off my shoes i’m settlin down i'm takin off my shoes i'm closin my eyes i'm takin off my shoes i'm stayin for a while we spend a lot of time at the kitchen table

hefty ticket fines and rain almost every day i've been living in an orange cave the mornings here are just a cloud today i swear i'm getting out of town get out of bed pack a bag or just bring yrself move yr body, hand in mine we're driving to the coast we lie on floors with buzzing heads and heavy hearts dream abt west virginia, a brand new fucking start it's not new but i think i've found what keeps my body mine being in a car and always crossing state lines so get out of bed pack a bag or just bring yrself move yr body, hand in mine we’re driving to the coast near the end there it was pretty hard to leave the house too much rain too many people that i didn't care about we all found pockets to hide ourselves in and i know even if we're spread out, we'll find each other again get out of bed meet me back east or along the way move yr body, hand in mine we'll make our very own place get out bed meet me downstairs we've got a lot to do move yr body, hand in mine our dreams are comin true

See You 03:20
sitting in my room all my things around me all my things around but you i'm packin up my life for the 3rd or 4th time this year but i can't really see straight thoughts of waterfalls we drove to, cold water on our heads dancing and whooping thru the night let’s keep on making plans til our bodies burst wide open from all the maybes and can’t waits take me to the redwoods one last time we know this is hard, but we also know it's right so take me through the gorge one last time we know this is hard, but we also know it’s right take me to the pacific one last time it’s been one hell of a year, see you on the other side it’s been one hell of a year see you on the other side

Uncurling 04:43
can’t i find a way to get out of this bed i’ve been here all day i might as well be dead it always starts this way with me just a simple little slide into the dark gimme one more minute i swear i’ll call you back come over once this coffee’s done it’s job can't i find a way to get out of this bed i've been here all day i might as well be dead do you know what i mean when i say i wanna feel surrounded cause everyone’s away and that’s including me we’re spread so thin you can almost see thru us and all i wanna do is find my own way out of this old bed cause i’ve been here to long and it’s messing with my head i’ve curled inside myself and i think it’s been long enough it’s time for me to step out into the sun i’m ready for a yellow summer and to finally find a way out of all these beds i’ve been stuck in for so long now i’ve risen from the dead i've risen from the dead

about

i drove from beaufort, south carolina to portland, oregon with a couple friends in january/february 2015 + lived there for ~ 8 months before figuring out i needed to go back east. the trip there was beautiful and important, living there was cool and weird and hard and important, and leaving was harder than i thought it'd be and, you guessed it, important.

these are a few songs i wrote to process all my pdx feelings.
xoxo gg
