If you said you were sorry I probably wouldn't mind at all I've been looking for your letter I've been waiting for your call Before it comes to nothing Too far gone to make it right I'll crack a window open Just apologize already Cuz it's not too late for sorry If it's weighing on your mind Just apologize already The good we had between us It does nothing for me now All the bad stuff made me bigger And my fear is getting smaller And I wish that you were better At putting up a fight Over something really righteous Not just petty cruel projections Cuz it's not too late for sorry If you're hoping for forgiveness Just apologize already So if somehow you happen To catch a song I wrote I hope that you really listen And try not to get defensive Cuz I've been looking for a reason And I'm pretty sure I've found it And it isn't in denial And it isn't in derision And it's not too late for sorry If salvation's what you're missing Just apologize already Just apologize already

Dreams 03:50
Call the lawman! Look what you've done Made a door with a stranger's gun Walked right in from the back to the front Calling for two what can only be one I'm drinking in more than I know I should But eyes don't listen when you look that good You wanna come real close and lock in tight But keep it to yourself tonight, babe Stop! Stay in my dreams forever Stop! Stay in my dreams Go ahead and stand just right where you are If you can see my face than you've come too far Let me dream Red hot nights overgrowing my head Lazy mornings in the middle of my bed Hanging right up and calling right back It's way too soon and it's way too fast to be Wanting you in that driver's seat Riding all night just to get to me And if praying for the rain is the sweetest part You better run now before I break your heart Better run now before I break Your Heart Call a friend, get a ride Call anybody who can take you home tonight Call a friend, get a ride Call anybody who can take you home tonight Call a friend, get a ride Call anybody who can take you home tonight Call a friend, get a ride Call anybody who can take you home tonight Go on home now, let me be (Call a friend, get a ride) Before you make a fool outta me, yeah (Call anybody who can take you home tonight) Call your daddy on the telephone (Call a friend, get a ride) Call whoever you want, just leave me alone! Who'da thought it'd end up like this Your heartbeat under my fingertips My breath all over your lips I can't get enough of your kiss, so Stop! Stay in my dreams forever Yeah honey just stop! Stay in my dreams Go ahead and stand just right where you are If I can feel my heart then I've gone too far Let me dream

The dreams in our hearts They're the blood that moves us Think we're gaining on them But it's they that pursue us The house and the car Summer, spring and fall The kids and the yard Yeah, we want it all This is how we do This is how we say This is how we wish This is how we pray This is how we live This is how we waste Our time They take it without giving Our very lives The skin and bones we live in The boy in the park Spilling over the ground The girl in the stream Surrenders her last to the sound This is how we get This is how we buy This is how we steal This is how we lie This is how we live This is how we die The swelling sea Lifts and breeds and gyres The islands we made Without even trying The bears in the yard Begging on the scraps we give 'em The fish in the sea They never knew what hit 'em This is how we hold This is how we bend This is how we lose This is how we end This is how we live This is how we end This is how we live

about

I had a lot of irons in the fire at the start of 2020—festivals, tours, recording my first full-length studio record—and when Ohio's shelter-in-place order came down, all those plans turned back into pumpkins. The three songs on "Dreams" were the last ones I finished after lockdown, and were recorded in the band members' separate home studios during that time. In its own way, each song grapples with the tensions we experience as our dreams come head-to-head with reality.
