From the recording Shapeshifting
We all change, we all stay the same. Written with my friend Grant about that longing, and misremembering, of the old days when things seemed simpler.
Lyrics
Spent our best nights
Watching stars burn out
I turn to see you
But you’re not around
Hey there I know it’s been a while
I’d blame the time zones or the miles
But now we’re back circling this town like tired vultures
We went all out most every day
You thought it’d always be that way
Before we scattered cross the map and changed our phones
Shapeshifting
Spent our best nights
Watching stars burn out
I turn to see you
But you’re not around
Whatever happened to the magic feeling
Up all night neighbors pounding on the ceiling
Whatever happened to all of us
You forgot this place when you stepped on the bus
The world keeps spinning
Our heads are spinning too
It’s all shapeshifting
But so am I and so are you
They turned the place we used to bowl
Into a bank for old people
And every spot in town is closed by 9pm
You said it’s always been that way
But it looks different now to me
Something about the way it used to be
Shapeshifting
Spent our best nights
Watching stars burn out
I turn to see you
But you’re not around
