I’ll make you laugh you won’t have the option
Inherent needs from days at Reed
If I’m not cool at least I’d be humorous
Thick glasses, parted wave and all
Cause the truth is I knew I’d always be
A younger brother
I hope I feel this pride in the morning
It’s unfamiliar in my chest
And if I do I pray it affects me
Please let me leave my mark as well
Cause the truth is I don’t want to just be
A younger brother
I’ll pay my way one day in the future
And when I do I hope you’re there
Misunderstood and I understand why
Upstream I swim between the bears
Cause the truth is I won’t always be
A younger brother

Yours Truly

I keep on running
Until you get to following me
You said that you could change the world
What happened to your optimism?
You said that you would change the world
Starting with, starting with yours truly
I keep on running
Until you get to following me
You said that you could change the world
What happened to your optimism?
You said that you would change the world
Starting with, starting with yours truly

Little Voice

I don’t want to spend my time,
Watering down this flame
I need a pick-me-up
Rationalizing “wait,”
I’m getting good at this game
I need something to stray from
Cause I know what you want from me
And I swear one day that’s what I’m gonna be
That little voice you have inside your head
Is gonna be me
I don’t like time in between,
It’s hard to kill while I’m
Staring at clocks all day
But when I see this room,
I remember the reason I
Started at all in the first place
Cause I know what you want from me
And I swear one day that’s what I’m gonna be
That little voice you have inside your head
Is gonna be me

Lights out let’s see who gets into their bed first
We’ll end up fighting just as soon as the light’s turned off
Let’s head to Lauren’s I’m sure she’s got friends there
Or start a fire in the backyard what could go wrong?
Well here comes Friday, rolling along
Let’s take Big Red for a spin
Don’t wake mom and dad, they’d kill us if they knew
What we’ve been doing
Over the weekend
The backyard’s hungry for the taste of a baseball
I’d rather sit inside and play my new guitar
Now that we’re older we’re like bearded men now
Maybe not bearded but we’re old enough to drink now
Well here comes Friday, rolling along
Let’s take Big Red for a spin
Don’t wake mom and dad, they’d kill us if they knew
What we’ve been doing
Over the weekend
Don’t you swing at me,
If I spit at you
I’m not angry,
It’s just what brothers do
Well here comes Friday, rolling along
Let’s take Big Red for a spin
Don’t wake mom and dad, they’d kill us if they knew
What we’ve been doing
Over the weekend

October Colors
03:34

I remember when rhymes meant nothing
And now I need them to breathe
I remember making my brain numb
Cream soda on the ground to left of the kick drum
Now I’m where I belong
Sitting on the ground in my bedroom
Writing out chords and lyrics to a childhood love song
October colors won’t you stay?
You remember me of my Adam Joshua days
Where everything was cool
Everything was cool
October colors don’t you fade
You remember me of my Matt Christopher days
Where everything was cool
Mellow-esque breeze, skeleton trees
And the sun’s only giving us half of his attention
I crunch leaves and I think about nothing
I think about nothing, absolutely nothing, yeah
I could live with days like this forever
But without the sunny highs and the cold lows
How would I know what I was living for?
October colors won’t you stay?
You remember me of my Adam Joshua days
Where everything was cool
Everything was cool
October colors don’t you fade
You remember me of my Matt Christopher days
Where everything was cool

Louisiana Bound

There’s a pillow, between my head and the window
Discman spinning Atticus, Pokemon and Peach O’s
Fourteen Barney’s away, we’re Louisiana-bound today
Exit Vider at the Dairy Queen, so mom could get her iced cream
Dad would get mad and the kids would all laugh
Eleven more Barney’s away, we’re Louisiana-bound today
You know us Montalvo’s, we gotta get some Salvo’s
Oyster shells are turning underneath our blue Suburban
Eight more Barney’s away, we’re Louisiana-bound today
An American flag will be waving
Just before the Shell Gas Station
Footrace up the driveway
When we Louisiana-bound
Fried shrimp, oranges
Tossing round the pigskin
Giving thanks to God for the olive bread
We’re all gonna eat and drink and laugh
And then we’ll solve a puzzle
Or play a game of Scrabble
Who knows?

You probably get this all the time
Did you say my name before you said, “Goodbye”?
Were you angry? That we didn’t speak
Cause I always kept you in my dreams
Please don’t let me lose my memories
I should have called you when I had the chance
Now that you’re gone I want to so bad but I can’t
Release this guilty conscience I can’t clear
Cause there’s nothing to fear
There’s nothing to fear from here
I miss you sweet brother
I miss you already

Wake up to the morning cold
The sun staring at me
Breakfast cooking on the stove
But I’d rather sleep
And we all hope, that we have something special
Some always know
One day, when you see the way the world works
You can choose if there’s another place like home
Football in the backyard where all the neighbor’s children would grow
We heard all the voices change
As the years passed
One by
And we all hope, that we have something special
Some always know
One day, when you see the way the world works
You can choose if there’s another place like home
Hide and I’ll seek you
If I hide will you come seek me, too?

Give me red shoes, a yo-yo that sleeps
A catcher’s mitt or a skateboard
The time to relax, was all day long
Cause there was nothing to be late for
The neighborhood, gathered around
For a game of hide-and-seek
Run as fast as you can, don’t forget to remind them
They’re not allowed to peek
Whatever happened to young?
Cause I feel old right now
Give me a blue van, a Friday night
A little bit of grass and a six-pack
Fire in a can, beer bong in hand
An abandoned street and a cul-de-sac
Laugh all night, watch for the cops
Go to Landon’s if they’re called
The biggest problem we had then,
Was how we would get alcohol
Whatever happened to young?
Cause I feel old right now
When can I say, “When you’re my age?”
When can I have good-old-days
Cause “old” is a state of mind
Some measure with age and time
There’s always something I will wonder
Whatever happened to young?
Cause I feel old right now
