Name: Linden Street
Duration: P00H03M04S
Description: I wrote this song in 20 minutes in February of 2021. I experienced a setback in making my album, and after overreacting out of sadness and anger, this is what was left. When I wrote it, I was thinking about the absolute bangers that opened the second side of Game Theory's albums as well as Scott Miller's ability to pair a snarky lyric to a sunny melody.

lyrics

A set list folded like a football or a love letter
Cut out the Other Music price tag and the hype sticker
A pen and notebook, your Christmas gift to me
A Sharpied, pin-pricked Polaroid from old home week

You got the story
You got the glory
You got the world
And I got Linden Street

Your record was the first I'd heard from you
It had been a year since you left school
Our insider joke was the title to track 10
What would you say if you saw me again

Chorus

Can't throw it out, can't cash it in
Like a storm, this mood will pass
One day it will please me to remember you
And I might want your old words back

Chorus, fade
