about

"This was the second song I wrote after Cold Morning and came together super quick. It’s half story telling, half a stream of consciousness that jumps between smoking too much weed and trying to get good with God, which is kind of funny I guess. At the core of it is feeling your actions are inconsequential no matter how hard you try. I like that even though it’s pretty heavy subject matter, the arrangement feels fun and has these kind of 70’s Petty-esque guitars in it."

lyrics

She seems set on watching the morning sun
I just feel like hanging round
I guess you figured out that I ain’t much fun
Always gotta drag me out

Driving from my place to the city
Years passing through me now
You say something like ‘baby ain’t this pretty’
As I roll the window down

We’re just watching sun hit the skyline
You’re pulling at my sleeve
I’m hoping maybe to bide time please

Give up this dream, be a better man
Sometimes I feel more like a boy
Could put my faith in Jesus and be alone
I’m so sick of driving the long way home
You say I’m too high in the morning
‘Think of all the money you’ve blown’
I’m so sick of driving the long way home

The sky it starts to bruise, the clouds collide
I'm ready to call it a night
Maybe in the morning it will be clear
Maybe there’s nothing to fear

I don’t feel I know much of nothing
I don’t feel much at all
Tired always thinking of things that passed
On the road I go when I drive too fast

We’re forgetting all of the good times
This isn’t what we need
Whisper to me your dreams

Give up this dream, be a better man
Sometimes I feel more like a boy
Could put my faith in Jesus and be alone
I’m so sick of driving the long way home
You say I’m too high in the morning
‘Think of all the money you’ve blown’
I’m so sick of driving the long way home

She seems set on watching the morning sun
I’m waiting ’til it’s coming down
Guess you figured that I ain’t much fun

Give up this dream, be a better man
Sometimes I feel more like a boy
Could put my faith in Jesus and be alone
I’m so sick of driving the long way home
You say I’m too high in the morning
‘Think of all the money you’ve blown’
I’m so sick of driving the long way home
I’m so sick of driving the long way home
