about

I wrote this song for One Year Later, which was the short-lived band that Einstein formed a year after Einstein broke up. I recorded the drums in 2005. Abby was pregnant with Vala, and I had no place to record. So I set up the old Einstein drum kit in my sister's room at my parents' house, and started recording some tracks. But Vala landed and my parents needed the space back before I could finish. I dusted them off and finished the track 14 years later. Big thanks to Rich for coming down to record his vocals for this song.

lyrics

You’re the only thing that kept me from sleeping through this year.
So let’s read into that.
Let’s explode.
Sell everything we own.
Let’s bail,
and trade all these failures for something unknown.

Run away,
and pretend we’re brand new.
Forget each other’s last names.
I could reset everything but you.

We’ll find a place to be,
where we don’t speak a word.
As if I care what they say.
I don’t want to talk to anyone but you.
Let’s live on a beach,
or some cliche.
We’ll remain in reach through all the glorious days,
through all the glorious days.

You found something in me,
that wasn’t a failed attempt at something that no one understands-
something that could be.
So let’s put that space between our lives and us.
I’ll buy you a third hand wedding dress.
We’ll have a honeymoon until we’re dead and gone.
Until we’re dead and gone.
