about

This is track 4 on my album written and recorded during the month of February 2021 as part of the annual February Album Writing Month challenge, asking participants to write 14 songs in 28 days. Rules can be found at fawm.org/help/.

The album A Million Boxes is inspired by personal life events and plays in chronological order. All of these tracks were recorded in one take using my phone and the DolbyOn app. Most songs were written in under an hour.

lyrics

Wait a minute
Could have sworn the weather called for rain
Is it out there
Making music on my window pane

I know you
Found you waiting at the bottom of my steps
And I know you
Only stayed cuz you thought you had nothing left

And the stories said that nothing would change
But I don't believe all that
Here we are at the start of the game
Just trying to make the rent

Can I help you
Pouring out my heartache over tea
In a hallway
Where there's only room enough for me

Did you see that
Smoke and mirrors and an aviator ghost
I know you
You like to say that they talk to you the most

And the stories said that nothing would change
But I don't believe all that
Here we are at the start of the game
Just trying to make the rent

And the stories said that nothing would change
But I don't believe all that
Here we are at the start of the game
Just trying to make the rent
