Liner Notes

This one's pretty personal. It's mostly about my sister. I'm still in the beginning stages of learning to write lyrics and it felt like I chose a more serious topic than usual here. For some reason I also struggled to get a good take and I wish my voice sounded a little better.

Lyrics

I wish I could carry us a river
That would wash you up on the shore
Maybe next year we'll find ourselves a place
And make us closer like before

Have you ever seen such a forest
The birds on the rocks in the hills
We can run around and hide in the woods
The way we used to do when we were kids

45 came down
Rearranged my life
Told me you were perfect
Stopped me getting high

55 can wait
Til we're around that long
I'll save you jars of spices
And silly looking bones

Your body is constantly changing
I hope it doesn't make you change your mind
If the river comes and washes us away
We'll swim back upstream in time

A nice story. Seems like an important relationship. I came here for the fingerstyle hashtag. I was not disappointed...Well played.
