lyrics

I missed another autumn
the Vermont maples
leaves under my shoes

by the time I touched the runway
the trees showed their antlers
in the Scandinavian moon

I missed a cold October
my fourth Halloween
across the ocean with my songs

try to stoke the fires of my friendships
from Iceland to Vienna
some move and some I gotta push along

and I only think about it when I’m sleeping
it only haunts me for a moment when I wake
I watch my parents age as they approach the holidays
that I’ll join in through a screen if I catch a break

I was something, I was something
you should have seen me on that stage, I had ‘em all
that is something, boy, that’s something
the phone said unknown number when you called

I missed my third Thanksgiving
to play a beer-soaked venue
and walk streets of cobblestone

and I wonder what I’m after
vanity or validation
chaos or control

I’ve never had enough success to make me bitter
never had an agent to scream at on the phone
it’s a blessing and a curse, and I don’t know which is worse
that I don’t care if I ever have it, or that I won’t

I was something, I was something
you should have seen my on that stage, I had ‘em all
that is something, that is something
I thought it was a salesman when you called

and I was scared to lose it all at once
and I was scared to lose it all at once
