lyrics
The alarm’s going off at 4am and I guess it’s a new year again
I would have stayed up until midnight five years ago sleeping in with my friends
Used to sit out in the dead end road under the streetlight with you
Life was so long, out for the summer with nothing to do
Ever since I was a little kid I get this feeling I’m drawing the shade
Before the day’s really over just so that I don’t have to watch it fade
Sun’s going down in the lonely sky and it burns like a used cigarette
I lost your lighter, I’ll buy you a new one, I won’t forget
But I don’t remember the street that you live on
I just remember the turns in the road
Feels like a ghost town tonight with the paper mill lights burning holes in the cloak of the dark
Back when your dog and your sister were seven
You called me over and I always showed
Yet to be found, walking around Clearwater Park
I know you’ve been trying to reach me
Since you left school and I moved out of state
Used to think by now we’d each be raising our babies and clearing our slates
I want to be the same person but i feel myself slipping away
I saved your voicemail just in case I need to hear it someday
I have this dream I’m in high school waiting for you in the parking lot, stoned
Watching a butterfly landing, reincarnated on a traffic cone
Sun’s going down and it’s beautiful but I don’t want to watch it alone
I try to call but I don’t have your number saved in my phone
And I don’t remember the street that you live on
I just remember the turns in the road
Feels like a ghost town tonight with the factory lights have gone out and the road’s getting dark
Back when your dog and your sister were seven
You called me over and I always showed
Yet to be found, walking around Clearwater Park
The alarm’s going off at 4am and I guess it’s a new year again

Maybe shaking just a little of the country dust off for this album, but still with the on-the-nose, clever, relatable lyrics, this is Esther’s most innovative album yet
P.S. really missin ol’ Matt Bell on the lapsteel James Champion

So delighted that Angel is finding that "hard won acceptance" that she sought and hope that her future path is one of authenticity. This work is one marked by melodious but not overwrought emotion, striking an intuitive balance of warmth and skill. hailhumanists
