My friend Dan sent me a song about
His kids and his dead brother
He said I inspired him and he’s buying a house in Oregon with his beautiful wife and his growing number of kids
He’s teaches mathematics
To be precise topologies He gave me confidence
When I was a young no one else believed in me we listened to vinyl and watched the Simpsons on repeat
Took another trip to 15 Lafayette
To talk to Gary about some new pickups I wanted to get
For my blue guitar
I picked up my new guitar from Danny the other day
Between takes of singing Our Lips are Sealed
It was worth the wait
The clean lines are beautiful and the sound
Is from outer space
I just need to consider what to play on it
Now I’m working on something new
I’ll put some words to this melody
I just came up with in the studio today
Live is never over, is it?
You gotta make time for the things in life you love
We gotta keep working
We gotta keep working
There’s much to do and we never know when our time is up
Ran into Brian Belknap on the street
Playin’ his old Gretsch resonator
I bought his album In Lieu of Flowers, he played a song for me it sounded great
Brian MC’d Aish and Andrew’s show the day before
At the lost church He’s a good host
And emphasized the lack of that kind of artist performance space these days
He said my music had inspired him
And it was refreshing to hear someone who has a voice of their own
And isn't just rehashing tired old tropes
I used to push my face to the window
And stare at the patterns of frost in the glass
Watching the snow fall from the spruce trees and the naked birch branches so silently
Live is never over, is it?
You gotta make time for the things in life you love
I do my thing you do your thing
Isn’t it easy?
I could feel the moisture
Coming though the windows
With my every breath pressed up to the frozen glass
What do I do with my days?
I stare at the hills and watch san francisco fog and mist, it’s good for my allergies
No thanks, I’ll pass on the four-hour bacon restaurant horseshit money sink
Avinash said I inspired him
We’re gonna make music together
He’s a good friend and a killer shredder
Live is never over, is it?
You gotta make time for the things in life you love
Live is never over, is it?
You gotta make time for the things in life you love
Avinash said he hurt is knee
Right before a marathon
I said don’t worry my friend keep running there’ll be another one
I said I’m scrunching towels with my toes
Stepping up onto a box and stepping off
And moving my foot in circles clockwise and counterclockwise at my local gym
I watch the clock
Count the days and mark the seasons
I wonder when issue two of Lyrics as Poetry’s gonna come in
Here I am a year later after Parque México
A summer later
After I made a record with Maryam
His kids and his dead brother
He said I inspired him and he’s buying a house in Oregon with his beautiful wife and his growing number of kids
He’s teaches mathematics
To be precise topologies He gave me confidence
