about

Originally, this little project was just going to be 4 songs. I wrote this one maybe 12 hours before recording it and ended up liking it so much that I named the rest of the EP after it.

This song is for the dozens of friends we've made traveling abroad and visiting new places, and for those we've yet to meet.

lyrics

we hatched a plan in early hours of the morning. i called favors in from family and saved enough to quit my job and there i was, lying to customs agents, trying to get through the border from my hometown through a snowstorm to an airplane to a shuttle to an airplane to a taxi to your door.

and now that i’m here, i couldn’t imagine being anywhere else. and i swear i’ll do my damnedest to express how good it felt to be so welcomed and looked after when i usually bring disaster to wherever i may stand. i know i lucked out when i touched down on dry land.

and we sweated through our t-shirts in the february summer. my amazement riding shotgun. yes, i think i’ll have another because even though my vision’s blurring, i’ve never been so clear on where to go.

now i know that it’s “everywhere i can” and now i’m back home making plans. i'm caught in cycles, looking for some work where i can use my hands. and though our schedules may not always line up, no matter where i am, i would be lucky to call someone like you “friend” wherever i might land.

Man. Grew up listening to this album non stop in like 7th grade. Spent a lot of nights falling asleep to this and know every word. Lost that iPod and just rediscovered it and this album. Love it and so many memories associated with these songs. Don’t buy much, but bought this and 100% worth it. robes360
