lyrics

give me winter, give me colder weather
amber poison on my tongue’s receptors
a cold wind for my skin, warm whiskey for my insides,
warm my heart

‘cause it’s December so give me that cold weather
a modest glass of that golden liquid splendor
sentimental conversations with my friends in the places
that we’ve known, we’ve loved, and we’ve shared
for all these years

let’s sit and hear the sun sink down,
then listen to the Gaslight’s sound
singing songs about stories so close
to my heart so that I don’t feel so alone
and ones about how that moon and those stars
will capture our hearts
yeah it’s a sound that crackles
through these here speakers now
singing we’re too goddamned young right now
to be carrying such heavy heads
so if you’re too tired my brother,
I’ll take that wheel instead
so you can sleep tonight,
brother can you sleep tonight?
And find a place to rest your,
rest your heavy head.

hey can you hear those songs
crackling through the speakers?
and does it lead you to a
sound that’s so familiar?

so bring December, yeah bring that colder weather
a gaslight to make my sight a little clearer
when those dark clouds roll on in
and the sun begins to sink, sundown

and maybe then we can all get together
around that place where the light’s a little golder
and capture for future eyes
a polaroid picture

yeah a polaroid picture

for when we feel a little stranger
as those gaps just grow on longer
for when we see one another.
and then 5 years feels like forever.

for when you wanna remember
the way we looked when we were younger.
and how we held ourselves together
in those incandescent winters.

for when our hearts
yearn for some...
something familiar.

Revisionists Austin, Texas

I wear my influences on my sleeve and I hope it comes out in the music. I know what I like and aspire to write like the bands and songwriters that inspire me while at the same time putting my own personal stamp on the music. In the words of Frank Turner, "I know I don't break new ground, many have travelled this sound, but I try to make it sound like home..." ... more
