And Everything Remains Possible 01:56
lyrics
Try to stay Just put the maps away, they're pulling you in the wrong way I fold them in a prayer and I yell out "August, catch me, I'm here" You know refusing to choose is a choice It makes me comfortable all the same Trying to convince the dread away When every morning's an ocean to tame Leave it open for friends or for thieves Lazy persuasion of a mess unmoved Built from values and goals with a stutter Under the guise of a life improved And there's a place in between our words In the inhale before you shout Where I feel like I'll make things better Where I believe that I'll work this out

The Failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two 02:35
lyrics
It's a great day to be young, complacent and spry Empathetic to the grown ups just trying to get by I've been lying face down with a smile And the weight on my back pushing back for a while I'll try Don't you think that my resume packs a punch? What is your name? What do you do? Taking a break for lunch. This is this life / this is life... Don't you think it's about time to go settle down? Get your feet on the ground! College, career, marriage, a house and a car You build this fucking game up like it's all that there is I see myself and my friends and my family "fail" And think that life's not worth living anymore. Fuck that, man

What's Your Spirit Bug? 02:53
lyrics
Hey I was thinking about when we got in the van We drove down to the beach, waves filled our shoes right up with sand You cut your fingers on a can last night The blood didn't make much difference in rain and the beer but it might We catch a little bit of sleep in the afternoon I know that we don't keep much distance but we should and it's good I'm gone soon I'd hoped you'd stay for one more summer Maybe I will leave before you do, I'd like to think I could Hey, I was thinking about when we lived in that house When you stole bowling shoes, when Tom and Dan slept on our couch Where we played drunk guitars, and stumbled down the frets Rode bikes in moonlight down the block, then said goodbyes and placed our bets
