Everybody

from Feelin Far by Old Joy

about

B-side to Feelin Far, Old Joy guitar player Mike Molitor & I recorded this in his practice space on one of my rare days off in March. We both really like this song. I wrote it back in 2012 when dealing with a sad turn of events. Updated the lyrics to be able to sing it with a straight face in December of 2021, demoed it in december while I had Covid. Mike & I played everything on it.

lyrics

I've been missing you & I don't know why
Heard you're getting married to a pretty good guy
I got some letters to remind me I was loved
But if I read 'em I would wanna give up

Had a dream last night you were in concrete
Half of you buried and half trying to get free
You cried & screamed & writhed & I tried to help you
Some other guy was lookin' at us too

You've been buying flowers only fake ones are cheap
You've invited everybody but you haven't called me
I've been climbing towers only tall ones for me
So I can look down on everybody

I got depressed & started doing lots of drugs
Everybody told me I should grow the fuck up
I didn't listen I just grew out my hair
I went from being sad to being really scared

Love is the dumbest thing I've ever tried to do
But nothing's dumber than trying to love you
You've got a good life now, you're out there on your own
Guess I can't help it, so I'll leave it alone

You've been buying flowers only fake ones are cheap
You've invited everybody but you haven't called me
I've been climbing towers only tall ones for me
So I can look down on everybody
