I've Got a Friend

​lyrics:

i've got a friend who thinks she's Jesus
but only when she's starting to climb
if you take away the storm she's braving
i think she does enough saving on her own time
she don't need the divine

i've got a friend simply known as V to us
she gives music away for the joy that it brings
she lives beautiful verse after verse 
and sometimes that chorus can hurt
but she's gonna play anyway
she's gonna sing

she's got a friend who'll stand in her corner
round after round swing after swing
i've seen some scary shit 
but i'm not afraid of it
cause she gave that gift to me

i'm in a band with my friend veronica
sometimes she's in command 
sometimes i tow the line
so V i'm gonna wait for you
in every single waiting room
i don't care how many times
cause time always takes time

i've got a friend
and she's got me

Rubber Band Gun

Lyrics:
she is a mother who gave me a father
her name is norma jean
bill was a deacon after he quit drinking
he married her when she was sixteen

moved her out west when the greatest depression 
chased them, they escaped by the skin of their teeth
i watched him adore her, do everything for her
he carried her purse, and he watched her sleep

64 times they circled sun til he shot off the earth 
like a rubber band gun
her soul folded up like a thin paper plane
waiting for takeoff to see him again
the man of her dreams
the man in her dreams

i’m a granddaughter who lost my grandfather
my name is lindsay ann
meaningless moments turn into memories 
he picked me up from school in a mercury sedan

what I’ll most miss is the forehead kisses
cause I grew up taller than my family tree
he left me a lesson that kindness is best you can
survive a hard life with no enemies

32 times we circled the sun til he shot off the earth
like a rubber band gun i got no right to complain, no reason to cry
he told me to relax, let the world go by
the man of my dreams (x3)
the man in my dreams

1. hope springs eternal
or so i've been told
but i know it's terminal
even hope gets sick, gets old

oh faith you fickle friend
you bargain and seduce
disguised like a goddamn godsend
just pretended to know the truth

ch: if it was lies why have I been 
holding all my breath in
waiting for the big exhale
i guess there comes a time to say goodbye to
throwing pennies in a wishing well

2. they say you can’t miss what you never had
here’s my objection
i’ll never miss something half as bad
as relying on the lie of reconnection

hope keeps a journal
but words are cannon fodder
grim reaps maternal
grim reaps daughter

repeat chorus
