this song was written over the summer of 2005. It involves whiskey, red eye flights, heart problems, and an overall inability to communicate.

knee deep summer's lazy heat
i bet it all on the company i keep

things i promised all still hold
the pavement's hot but the whiskey's cold

as for me, i'd rather be
in miles over my head
than runnin scared and unprepared
i'll come to you
instead of some other alternative i'll learn and live, your hero at the end of the day
they say you never know unless you try
cuz movin forward's easy when there's not much left behind
so what i'm still standing here
i'm awful at goodbyes

bought a ticket for the red eye l.a. bound
pilot made ohio and he turned around

good thing too i heard it rained
but i would have liked to seen her all the same


goodbye goodbye goodbye
there i said it
i hope you're happy now
i hope you're happy now
i'll see you again soon

they found me with a headache coming to
i didn't tell which scars came from you

they told me that i'd have to see the nurse
i told em that they'd have to catch me first
