about

The title track and first single from the upcoming album BUMMER, out Fall 2023

lyrics

I know I've been a bummer
I'll be better by summer
The winter did a number
But I'm crawling back with all that I have

I'll get up early
To a world that has hurt me
And the lines are still blurry
But I'm drawing a map doing time and a half

It's difficult at best and impossible the rest
And I know it's been trying and I know when you're lying
So don't even think about it
But once I find my feet I'll be exactly what you need
I know that you don't believe in gambling
But honey you can bet on me

I know you're keeping track of
My bad habit back up
But it's not all it's cracked up
No you're just wasting time on impossible rhymes

It's never been worth it
Searching for perfect
But somewhere in the middle with a little room to wiggle
Well I think we'd make it work yea

It's repetitive at best, retracing all your steps
And I know it's been trying and I know when you're lying
So don't even think about it
But once I find my feet I'll be exactly what you need
I know that you don't believe in gambling
But honey you can bet on me

It gets so loud just as you're losing it
Quiet now you weren't even using it
All that it did was make you sick
You don't have to pretend there was value in it
Some things just hurt there's no lesson to learn in it
Get too close, it'll just end up burning you down
And salting the ground
Til there's no getting out
Til there's no getting out

So you gather up your breath like it's all that you have left
And I know it's been trying and I know when you're lying
So don't even think about it
But once I find my feet I'll be exactly what you need
I know that you don't believe in gambling
But honey you can bet on me
