about

This is the first single off of the upcoming full length album, "Canton and Field."

lyrics

Connecticut Avenue feels like a radio dream
When the Taft Bridge has no agenda
And portraits of our Presidents
Are portraits of a Saturday
The lions on the bridge directing you home

Comfortably cautious, cautiously uncomfortable
When making waves is for the horizon
A sounding board in a sweatshirt
Our Sundays in solitude
In a marble city building a home

Waving like an error semaphore
Frantically under control
I'll love you as the waves crash around
I'll love you when they settle down

Bus trips with all of your belongings
Resignation letters bound
To hoping it could be better
And stepping off solid ground
To Avenue B
In the snow

Late nights in dark rooms screaming at something
Sidewalks robbed me blind and saved my life
A certain way of walking
The art form of New York
To five flights of stairs
Leading you home

Waving like an error semaphore
Frantically under control
I'll love you as the waves crash around
I'll love you when they settle down

How I've noted the way
That the sun moves through our room
And how all these little moments
Are the big moments too
And how one day next year
They'll be flowers in your hair
And we'll say all those things
That the state needs to hear
