about

This one, in my opinion, brings the album together. We had the music all worked up before I even thought about lyrics, (which is how it usually goes in The Deep End), so I wrote these lyrics on a hammock at Alex Robinson's house...Ya know the dude on the cover of our last album? So once Dillon came up with his saucy compliments on the guitar I thought it would be great to get our friend Izzy Johnson on the nylon string. Her unique style of playing brought a really cool dynamic to this song.

lyrics

I’ll travel eastward, you head westbound
We’ll meet up along the way
Let’s share some stories until it gets boring
Then we’ll drive away

We’re not the same kids in the basement
Why did time change who we are?
I don’t mean to be a burden
I don’t mean to pry

But you should know
The cards that we are dealt remain face down

One too many, or never any
I can never tell where I am ought to be
I just want to waste a day with you
Let the noise pass overhead

But we forgot
It’s lost
These thoughts wont follow through

You won’t be bothered
By pressure anymore
Your vines grow stronger
They tie around your door

We can mend
We can find a way
To keep our bridges high
Go against the cards you’re dealt
And drive on by

Or at least we will find our words again
