about

The first single off the album, "Songs for Grownups." Out 2021.

lyrics

This is a song
For when you’re bored and cruising Tinder
Swiping left and right
And it's far too late at night
And you don’t know where you been
Or where you’re going

This is a song
For the ride home from the party
That you didn’t want to go to
In the first place
You saw your ex there
Doing lines in the bathroom
And you felt like a looney tune
When you said hey that’s not good for you
And they said who let you in

Ooo I been there
Man I been there
You know I been there
Too

This is a song
For when the plane’s been delayed
And you don’t want to engage
With some dumb lyrics

Yet here you are
With my voice in your headphones
And the pilot on the microphone
Saying you better buckle up folks
It’s gonna be a long night
I been there
Man I been there
You know I been there
Too

This is a song
For your all Sunday scaries
The why should I even caries
The quiet neighbor staring
The black hole as it’s glaring
To which I say

If you need some time take it
I swear you’re gonna make it
Or at least maybe fake it
Even Einstein had some off days
He was flat footed and uprooted
At least you’re not flat footed
And even if you are
You’ve got the internet in your pocket
That’s more than Einstein did
Maybe it’s all relative

Maybe the universe is cooling
And the economy’s unspooling
Maybe your future's in the blender
While you’re stuck here cruising Tinder
And your ex is doing coke
And you’re way too young and broke
Maybe your plane’s been delayed
And all your edges frayed
Maybe the wrong guy got elected
And you’ve been downright disrespected
Maybe you wish you were a stone
But I’ll say this
You’re not alone

Because we all been there
Oh man we all been there
Sure we been there
Too

This is a song
Clearly a very uplifting song
A down out and drifting song
A wish to belong
To live in the along
It's a little right and mostly wrong
But I'll say this
It's a song for you
