#killitcutitdown #songaday / 11. LOSING YOU
Track 11: Losing You
I wrote this song for my manager and friend Nick. Girls come and go, but it’s the ones you want to stay that always leave right? Dang.
You can buy Kill It Cut It Down now at parachutemusical.com
I don’t know how to stop this
All I know is how to restart
I don’t know how we got here
All I know is you’re breaking my heart cause’
Every time I reach for your hand you’re
Reaching for the hand of some other man
Am I losing you? Oh, am I losing you?
When should you start counting
The last days of your life
Why not just start with
The first time you see the light
In the eyes of the one you love start to fade
It’s over as soon as it’s begun
Am I losing you? Oh, am I losing you?
Oh, am I losing you?
Oh, am I losing you?
#killitcutitdown #songaday / 10. ON THE GROUND
Track 10: On The Ground
Ever felt trapped in an unhealthy cycle and can’t figure out why you refuse to get out of it? Me too!
You can pick up our new record Kill It Cut It Down now at parachutemusical.com
When is this gonna’ stop I got a head full of knowledge and a gut full of knots, OH!
When is gonna’ end I’ve had a hand full of lovers turn into old friends
A spark ignites a flame, I’m off in the air
But to my surprise you were on the ground waiting there
I’m fallin’ in (you try to tell yourself it’s what they said)
I always do (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Losing my cool (you try to tell yourself it’s in your head)
So nothing’s new as usual
When am I gonna learn I only got a few second chances left to burn
Looks like I shot it dead it was the story of a life that’ll never be read, oh be read
Oh god I’m going down in a ball of flames it’s out of control, WOAH!
I got a thing for you but right or wrong it won’t make me better
I don’t care to know you at all anymore
As day light is creeping up after a long night of losing life and all I
Recall is sensing I was gonna’ fall in you add then stir up all the
Mayhem your black cloud parts and you see nothing of consequence and then you
Repeat we’re done now that’s what all of my friends say to me, yeah
When am I gonna’ learn I only got a few second chances left to burn

#killitcutitdown #songaday / 9. HOMETOWN
Track 9: Hometown
A leftover song about my ex-fiance who still lives in my former hometown of DC. I love the place, but life brought me to Nashville. Enough said.
You can buy our new record Kill It Cut It Down now at parachutemusical.com
I’ll see you in my hometown, in my hometown, where you still live
Above all the ruckus that I miss, the city bliss
I’m hanging on a life change, a life change, I should put to bed
But I waited on a fast break from your wake that I misread
And things take time I’m well aware but this
Back and forth with you just gets me nowhere
I’ll see you in my hometown, in my hometown, where you still live
Overlooking all potential in the problems that give
An obvious obsession with the wrong place at the wrong time
Where we’re looking at the ceiling from the floor saying were fine
So get up get up go and dance around like a kid on too much sleep
We’re not slouching tonight as the room starts to spin
So get up get up yeah and wave your arms in the most peculiar ways
It’s quarter life crisis in full effect, we’re in full effect
I’m dying for your heartache, for your heartache, to shine through
So I can take a fast plane to DC to see you
Yeah but nothing ever happens the way that I plan because
Things take time I’m well aware but if
Patience is so virtuous then why can’t I just
See you in my hometown…
#killitcutitdown #songaday / 8. YOU COULD TAKE A LOT
Track 8: You Could Take A Lot
There are people in life who can, seemingly, destroy your well-being more effectively than your average everyday well-being destroyer. You Could Take A Lot is a song about that master well-being destroyer and the lamb they are ruining. The poor lamb just doesn’t stand a chance.
Pick up our new record Kill It Cut It Down now at parachutemusical.com
You could take a lot from me I know it’s true
Cause’ all I do somehow gets to you
I fumble in my reasoning I’m all undone
I try to run but you keep catching up
Give me eyes, all I can see is I’ve been blind
I’m missing out and messing up on cue
Predictable you call me out a mile away
I’ve got my tongue but I got nothing to say
My passenger’s a little out of sorts today
Unbuckled and strangely confident
As the tiny speck grows into such a massive wall
I’m sweating as she grins ear to ear
I guess some things are better left unsaid
I shoot off my mouth and somehow wind up better off dead
I wind it up then drag it out
Buying time in small amounts
I try to run but you keep catchin’
I try to run but you keep catchin’
I try to run but you keep catchin’
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, up
BRING IT (Taken with Instagram at Nashville, TN)
