Brother 03:01
you were born five years after me in a town in northern Kentucky and you loved to climb the maple tree and you lived to scare and impress me like when I was 13 and you chased me with a butcher knife down the alley through the maple leaves the light shone green on your face the dirt was split by streams of the tears you cried I know that I should not have lied I told you I’d be right back home but then I left you all alone for the whole night maybe two or three it hadn’t crossed my mind you might be lonesome just like me ooo when you’re a little older I’ll explain it all to you why the good will never stay and all the dark and scary things will never go away but we’ll be bigger than them someday ooo

Dog Days 04:08
I ain’t worried about nothing it’s the dog days of summer take my shoes off at the river slip into the water pine wood smoke from the back yard drifts up to my window cold night air through my bedroom hide out under the covers ooo I don’t feel ready stumble over my feet trying to face myself ooo I do my best pray the summer lasts while I feel it turning and I’ll be heading back before long I hope everything is different you let go of all that went wrong and i want to hear you say you're giving it your best it ain’t that bad anyway like back when we first met and you didn’t run away ooo I don’t feel ready stumble over my feet trying to face myself ooh I do my best pray the summer lasts while I feel it turning ooo I don’t feel ready stumble over my feet trying to face myself ooo I do my best pray the summer lasts while I feel it turning my mama called me up Mrs. Nickell lost her fourth son and now I’m heading down to lexington to put him in the ground and I hate that you’re out of sight I love you, keep her in your prayers tonight and search your whole life long there ain’t nothing strong as a Kentucky woman ooo I don’t feel ready stumble over my feet trying to face myself ooh I do my best pray the summer lasts while I feel it turning ooo I don’t feel ready stumble over my feet trying to face myself ooo I do my best pray the summer lasts while I feel it turning

Trouble 03:09
I had trouble sleeping the dawn does pursue in the still of the morning all cornflower blue and the chill April air, rolling all ‘round the room let the golden light kiss me I’m all brand new and it’s blowing all through it’s blowing all through and I kept it to myself he, for his hunger knew nothing of me laid us down, one by one all beneath the old willow tree my back in the sand busted glass in my knee felt the fear for that man as he tore into me now it’s blowing all through it’s blowing all through and I kept it to myself and I held your hand shut your sunken eyes, the cancer ate your muscles all up from the inside your skinny bones now frailer than mine and your tangled legs cling to sheets, bleached white and when you left I kept you with me, still smell your sweat when I least expect it your skinny bones, hair all cotton white and you ain’t so tough as you was that night, now.
5.
your bed was so tall I needed you to lift my small body to lie next to yours and the night was all quiet but the tree frogs and crickets and the glow from the street poured in over our feet and I liked it better before you were weathered and the walls of our house caving in when through all the helplessness, hopelessness, doubt, was a light in our hearts that held out did it give out? mother, I know you’re doing your best you stand tall in spite of the mighty tempest and I never think less when you show me your fear, nervous laugh at the darkness, or swim in your tears when the world ain’t crumbling will I have a place in your heart and when the world ain’t crumbling will we recognize anything and when the world ain’t crumbling do you think we’ll stop fighting and when the world ain’t crumbling will I let you in, will I let you in

Thank you to everyone involved in making the album - all the players in present and past incarnations of Strawberry Runners, who helped shape these songs and motivated me to keep playing, writing, and recording despite myriad mishaps and boundless uncertainty: Jacob, Brennan, Steven, Chris, Eli, Tomas, David, and Olivia. Thank you to Rachel, Marco, and Nathan for your patience and dedication and for making sure this album found a place in the world, to Oliver, Otto, and Cole for your invaluable support, inspiration, and feedback through the years of incubation and creation. Thank you to everyone at the Sugar Shack (RIP) for tolerating incessant band practices. Thank you to the sweetest friends in Denver who always came to our shows and listened and danced and sang along with us! I am lucky to have had the opportunity to be surrounded by such a talented, hard-working, patient, and generous community while bringing this project to fruition. It’s been a long time coming!

Thank you to my dad for sharing his life and love with us and to my mom and my brothers for teaching me to meet difficulty with strength, compassion, wisdom, creativity, curiosity, and if all else fails, a sense of humor.
