Get me out of here I want to get out of here It’s time to go to work The Boss is such a jerk I want to quit my job Fake that I’m sick Get me out of here I want to get out of here I’m going for a walk Just around the block Wallet keys and phone I’m leaving home Get me out of here I want to get out of here Dishes pile high You wash I’ll dry Domestic circumstance I want to die Get me out of here I want to get out of here I’m going for a walk Just around the block Wallet keys and phone I’m leaving home Get me out of here I want to get out of here I miss the hum of a crowded bar Fill up the room packed wall to wall I bend the note like a desperate call Get me out of here I want to get out of here I’m going for a walk Just around the block Wallet keys and phone I’m leaving home

Till there was you Slept until noon Under a fog Of heavy gloom Till there was you I was alone No messages On my telephone A lonely blue A faded hue Till there was you Till there was you Thought I might die No shoulder To lean on and cry To share the joy And the dark defeat A crown of thorns Worn like a wreath Truest of true One longed for two Till there was you To share the joy And the dark defeat A crown of thorns Worn like a wreath Truest of true One longed for two Till there was you

I’ve been out walking I don’t do too much talking these days These days These days I seem to think a lot About the things i forgot to do And all the time I had the chance to I stopped my rambling I don’t do too much gambling these days These Days These days I seem to think about How all these changes came about my way And I wonder if I’ll see another highway I had a lover Don’t think I’ll risk another these days These days And if I’m seem to be afraid To live the life I have made in song Well it’s just that I’ve been losing for so long, yes I have I stopped my dreaming I don’t do too much scheming these days These Days These days I sit on cornerstones Count the time in quarter tones till ten Please don’t confront me with my failures I had not forgotten them

about

“When life feels meaningless or monotonous I think it’s easy to check out or cope with entertainment or drugs. But I think it’s really important to also learn a way to feel your feelings and get grounded. I started getting mild panic attacks over the pandemic and convinced myself I was going to actually have a heart attack. So, I started running. At first I could only run a mile. But little by little I noticed I could run further and further without needing to stop. It doesn't matter how you get out of your head, but getting outside has been really good for me. I cook most days, get to the beach by my house most weeks, and still find so much joy in listening to records and making music. I hope my song inspires someone to go outside and also create their own healthy coping mechanisms. Being healthy is fucking awesome. You can use that extra energy to create stuff or play and feel like a kid again. If someone could please make a skate video to Get Me Out of Here my life will feel super meaningful.”
