I travel down this lonely street
Say hello to anyone that I meet
But it seems like life ain't what it used to be
They walk around with their heads to their feet
They try to escape with phones to their cheeks
And when I walk passed them they don't acknowledge me
It's like life's just a rush from A to B
It's like life's just a rush from A to B

Sipping coffee on Boliver beach
Near Corpus Cristi where the sands are sweet
And it feels like life ain't bad and I just cry
Driving up and down i35
Stop in towns with at least one good dive
And I wish you were here one more time
Instead of living another life
Instead of living another life
~bridge
And all this life we're living
Seems to be found
In the middle parts of the moments
Before hello and the dawn
But we're all too busy and we keep on dancing
To the beat of a different drum
There's a hundred infinity planets in the galaxy
We're on the same one
So let's pause for the cause so I can take a breath
And this don't run on too long
~verse
Now I'm old as hell but I still wanna get ill
Go down to the park to where the B boys chill
And listen to every track on Licensed to Ill
Take off my clothes and leave on my hat
Stumble up to the top of the hill
And watch this old world keep closing in on me
Because I'm cool that this is how it'll be
We're all searching for the simple life
And I know that this is simply life
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
