Turn back Turn back Turn back now if you're sick of all the love songs I could of chose to sing about thousand other things But I choose to sing about this Cause sometimes it's something that I miss I still see the 727 Riding to the airport I still remember my impatience To get to you to give you some comfort But you would always end up in frustration I still remember the 747 Flying to your home land The travel opened up my eyes To the world But I'm so exhausted I'm moving too fast I'm so exhausted From rushing in love Turn back now if you're sick of all the love songs I could of chose to sing about thousand other things But I choose to sing about this Cause sometimes it's something that I miss But we're all so close Yet so far away I hope the distance Doesn't destroy our souls I'm glad you haven't turned back So you can share this moment with everyone Don't turn back now Don't turn back now I'm glad you haven't turned back So you can share this moment with everyone

Drive 05:01

So I have arrived And You're looking as beautiful As I remember you The last time I saw you in person So I am stunned I can't believe I've even made it here I don't see how this can even worsen (My time here in the sun) We're driving down the interstate And the trees are blooming With shades of green That blind out my eyes The long ride keeps me relaxed While I watch the sunset The night looks different here Cause the starts shine brighter in your eyes Because my drive is driving me crazy With you around you have me feeling lazy My tired eyes are looking hazy And all I wanna do is keep you happy Driving through the town in the night again Finding ourselves enjoying the night sky But could ya please don't tell me when This will all come to an end I wanna lose myself tonight The moon looks wonderful Just like your pretty face But you never want to believe me So I'll just carry on I really enjoy it here This is such a wonderful place So lets just drive home At a slower pace Cause my drive is driving me crazy With you around you have me feeling lazy My tired eyes are looking hazy And all I wanna do is keep you happy (Because my drive is driving me crazy) Happy (With you around you have me feeling lazy) Happy (Because my drive is driving me crazy) Happy (My tired eyes are looking hazy) Happy (Because my drive is driving me crazy) Lets just get out of the house Lets drive down Broadway I wanna see the vast space Between it all I wanna feel The ambience of the day Small city Remember-able roads Lets just drive around

Moving On 03:04
lyrics

I'm fine just moving on Starting a new chapter Even though I'm missing you bad It's for the best for now Everything came crashing down But I'm ok now Just finding my feet And myself I know that I said that I'd still be here in two years Doing the same But I'm back at square one Still doing just that Although things have changed You won't be coming here Any time soon I'm fine now I'll just keep myself busy With everything I'll just sleep Or get my head stuck In some work Or i'll just wonder around the woods Getting stuck in its glaze But I'm ok for now Just finding my feet And myself I know that I said that I'd still be here in two years Doing the same But I'm back at square one Still doing just that Although things have changed You won't be coming here Any time soon I'm moving on I'm moving on I'm moving on and on and on

Rush 05:58
lyrics

If there's anything I've learnt the past few years Is that I should always follow my heart If you know something will end wrong Don't try to imagine and follow along Remember when I said that feelings could change And that come a few months down the road Our lives could have been rearranged And we wouldn't feel the same Just try not to rush You could hurt yourself Try not to run before you can crawl You could trip and hurt your feelings Take your time and learn the path Cause maybe one day You'll reach the higher ground If there's anything I've learnt the past few weeks Is that you can't force things to happen Good things come to those who wait Just do your best just don't be late Just try not to rush You could hurt yourself Try not to run before you can crawl You could trip and hurt your feelings Take your time and learn the path Cause maybe one day You'll reach the higher ground

about

This EP is inspired by a small city in South Carolina.
In this release, I've been toying with having more drums/purcussion in my songs.
The meaning behind the front cover is of a (matching) tattoo that was done on my back during a visit to Sumter.
Enjoy!
