Can't Wait No Rush

Send you a message on my telephone
Hey can you tell me how the future goes
You're out there banging drums in Tokyo
We're not quite sure when you'll be coming home
And these messages you're sending
They make me blush
And I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait
But no rush
I try to keep it cool but I'm a wreck
To think I haven't even kissed you yet
So we write a thousand sweet vignettes
When you said let's take it slow, was that in jest
Though I've never even felt it
I crave your touch
And I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait
But no rush
No rush
The day we met, you sat down at the drum set
I said I don't know what I want
But I'll know it when I hear it
Do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do
Didn't know at the beginning
I could feel so much
Now I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait
But no rush
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait
But no rush
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait
But no rush
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait
But no rush
No rush

It was wonderful to live out west
Fun to kid ourselves I guess
Back to the ones who love us best
No longer for to roam
Now it's white dashes yellow lines
And the radio blaring about divided times
I get misty when I see the sign
That welcomes us back home
Pennsylvania, it was never easy to explain ya
Sometimes home's not just an easy chair
Lately home feels like a cross to bear
A cross to bear
At a truck stop out by Ligonier
You said I don't feel so welcome here
Should we pretend that we're just friends
That old familiar fear
When we pulled into Nazareth
We were long past half past dead
Turned off the radio and said I think he might just win
That fucker's going to win
Pennsylvania, it was never easy to explain ya
Sometimes home's not just an easy chair
Lately home feels like a cross to bear
A cross to bear
You're barely getting by out there
And I know you'll miss the weather
But that city doesn't need you
Go back home and make it better
Your folks are getting older
You feel the pulling of the tether
Rent a row home, grow a garden
Get the old band back together
Pennsylvania, it was never easy to explain ya
Sometimes home's not just an easy chair
Lately home feels like a cross to bear
Pennsylvania, it was never easy to explain ya
Sometimes home's not just an easy chair
Lately home feels like a cross to bear
A cross to bear

You know I'll always have a soft spot for you
My mind cannot undo the year that I adored you
I know you said don't ever be a stranger again
But I won't offend if I need a couple months on the mend
Because I took some time, I'm almost sure
My intentions here are pure
I took some space, now that heartbreak
Is just the slightest little ache
And I think I'm almost ready to be friends
And I think that one of these days we'll make music again
I think I'm almost ready to be friends
So if you see me at a local show of a band that we both know
Don't be surprised if I say hello, hello
Because I took some time, I'm almost sure
My intentions here are pure
I took some space, now that heartbreak
Is just the slightest little ache
And I think I'm almost ready to be friends
And I think that one of these days we'll make music again
I think I'm almost ready to be friends
I think I'll call you when you're back from Texas
Now that the ball is sitting in my court
I mean half of my best friends are practically exes
Not like I've never done this before
And I think I'm almost ready
And I think I'm almost ready to be friends
And I think that one of these days we'll make music again
I think I'm almost ready to be friends

I Guess I'm Moving On

Surprise, surprise I got too excited again
Swore it'd be different this time, so I dived right in
I am learning to have no expectations
To not get my hopes up, have more reservations
Because I reached out to hold you
Just to find that you were gone
Well okay then, alright so
I guess I'm moving on
Oooo, ooo, ooo
If you want me to chase you down, I'm not gonna
I'm turning the phone off now, I don't wanna
Play any games with you
And I hope that you understand
You're a grown-up man
And I'm not someone
that you can string along
Well okay then, alright so
I guess I'm moving on
Oooo, ooo, ooo
Because love isn't made of
A user and a loser
Love is the game that both people win
If I'm gonna fall any further
Well it won't be for you sir
So if you should ever come my way again
And you reach out to hold me
Well, honey I'll be gone
Well okay then, alright so
I guess we're moving on
Oooo, ooo, ooo
Oooo, ooo, ooo

We Could Be Comets

The night I met you
Old hotel, two doors down
I heard someone singing
So I went following the sound
To a room full of bodies and bottles and bliss
I remember the way you smiled when I sang the fifth
And eight years later
You have drawn me back again
Across all these miles
Through recordings that you send
From a room in Chicago
A city I have never been
If I bought a ticket, would you pick me up at Berwyn
I know we're both tangled up right now
If we're being honest
I won't ask to be your constant lover
Maybe I could be your comet
So when you're out my way
You know you always have a place
Where it's warm and there's music
So bring your guitar just in case
And you're welcome to kiss me
You're welcome to stay
I'll save us a bottle of whiskey
We'll make it happen someday, hey
I know we're both tangled up right now
If we're being honest
I won't ask to be your constant lover
Maybe we could be comets
Bright, it's so bright when you fly by me
Fly by me one more time
I just delight in the sight of you
I don't have to call you mine
I know we're both tangled up right now
To be completely honest
I won't ask to be your constant lover
Maybe we could be comets
I know we're both tangled up right now
If we're being honest
I won't ask to be your constant lover
Maybe we could be comets

Headwaters came as a Bandcamp recommendation being Human the first track I listen to. It really hit home and I downloaded the full album but did not believe that the rest would be as beautiful and brilliant as Human. However, during my first listening I realize that all the songs are really impressive, so now I could not choose my favorite... although I listen to it time after time since then! Now Headwaters is decidedly part of my life. It moves me and streghtens my soul. Thanks Alexa!

You're Not Alone

This is a reckoning, steps through a person’s growth out of bad and into good. Every song reflects transformation. This album is incomparable. Nothing compares to its brilliance.

Forever Only Idaho
by Harrison Lemke
Big, strummy songs that recall the heart-on-sleeve earnestness and lo-fi glory of early Mountain Goats.
