lyrics
I was at the ocean
With a troubled mind
There was something that I can’t forget
But I can’t remember what it is
We froze our asses off
And watched the floats come in
Then blue margaritas
At Guy’s American Kitchen
I’m the ghost that’s been let go
They talk about me like they know
Doing much better now though
Moved to Orlando
I’m the joke when they see my face
They don’t know shit
Making time to see the family
In Tallahassee
I’m the one you think you know
We just met an hour ago
I know you’re not shy though
You asked me for a smoke
Nearly broke when I heard your song
Well, for Auld Lang Syne
Just you show them what you saw
Out in Holopaw
As I listen to this album more and more I start discover aspects that I hadn't felt before. My love for every individual track continues to grow, but Change has remained in my heart as a deep drive to get me through the day. seonghi

Some catchy tracks on here, and my guy is not afraid to rip a guitar solo. Sounds like Daniel Johnston country at times, and the album cover looks like a hip-hop record. Cidimon Arustavi
