I remember the day you discovered your shadow
You were in the back garden by the apple tree
What's your favorite color
What songs do you like
What makes you angry
And what makes you cry
You know that I mean well
But I missed your call & I forgot to return it
You gave me your love
Even though I've not earned it
Because you're good to me
And I deserve to see
How it makes you feel when I always leave
I hope that you miss me
There will be time someday
Apologize, I'll compromise
Avoid my eyes
I'd rather go back into your shade
But I'll miss your progress
From the mess that I made
Tell mom I'm alright
And tell dad I'm okay
Did you get the last card I sent on your birthday?
I wish that we were closer
I wish that you had known me
When I was younger
And understood the choices
That I've made
I'm coming out of a decade long musical hiatus. The last punk band to really move me was from the Bay (American Steel), so it's no surprise that I returned there for inspiration. Can't Swim is absolutely worth a listen for fans of Lawrence Arms or Taking Back Sunday. I'm sure there are much better comparisons - if that's you thing - but as I said, I've been out of the game for a long time. Thank you to Can't Swim for inspiring me to play again. Dave Wreckoning
