about

Recorded/mixed by Eric Arm at Headroom Audio, West Hollywood, CA

lyrics

Woke up on the sofa
Patterns on my face
Smacked my knee on the table
I’m not used to this place
Feels like a hotel room
That’s got all my stuff
But I’m still me, apparently,
And that’s still too much.

I wanna be ANYWHERE ELSE BUT ME today
ANYWHERE ELSE BUT ME
Anywhere Else but my sad sorry self

Woke up on an airplane
Lowering into LA
The questions come closer
And the answers go grey
Down a long one-way tunnel
I look back and go numb
The walls are full of pictures
And I keep hoping you’ll come

CHORUS

I might just sleep a little later
Or sleep a little longer
I might just sleep a little later
Or sleep a little longer
Maybe I’ll wake up with you

You have a thing about Canada
So I won’t call you when I go
After the labored recitations
There only silence. Don’t you know
I will always be a traveler
I’m still going everywhere
But if you’re not the home I come to
How will I know when I’m there

CHORUS
