Drawing in to learn how to draw Color shines as the sun it falls Promising to have no end The more you pull the less it bends Looking your way I'm looking your way On the highway In all this rain I came to see You are you but just like me With a hundred desires and no room to burn I spin the wheel but nothing turns Useless to help a trophy on the shelf You only stare one way If only tomorrow was today Nothing good would get away In the end I came to see You are you but just like me With a hundred desires and no room to fade I thought of light but only found shade Looking your way I'm looking your way On the highway On the highway I'm looking your way On the highway I'm looking your way On the highway Useless to help a trophy on the shelf You only stare one way If only tomorrow was today Nothing good would get away On the highway On the highway

I think I'll go to find some air Through the hallway and down the stairs With a feeling that I won't care For anything that I'll find out there No where no where I'm going no where tonight No where no where I'm going no where tonight I hear them barking down the street As our baby tries to fall asleep Late at night I do my work for the week For everything that matters And from the bedroom I can hear the cars Buying something from the liquor store I think about who I was before And now I know it doesn't matter It doesn't matter it doesn't matter It doesn't matter who I was before It doesn't matter it doesn't matter It doesn't matter it doesn't matter I think I'll go to find some air Through the hallway and down the stairs With a feeling that I won't care For anything or anyone out there No where no where I'm going no where tonight No where no where I'm going no where tonight

The bridge was sparkling like restless stars The hustle of the evening cars This is where I asked for your hand in mind Remembering all the bonds we tied So hold on love hold onto me This path out east heads where the hungry Lead to the feast It heads where the hungry Lead to the feast As our edifice no longer stands And we've moved on to separate land We still talk from time to time But your voice has changed and so has mine Your voice has changed and so has mine So hold on love hold onto me This path out east heads where the hungry Lead to the feast It heads where the hungry Lead to the feast

Joelle 03:15
You drank too much again Lost your common sense Now there’s no more money left As you're climbing the neighbors fence Before you’re home to bed Home to bed Home to bed You drank too much again Lost your innocence Just take off all your clothes for him After all he is a gentleman Before you’re home to bed Home to bed Home to bed Oh Joelle Oh Joelle Oh Joelle I know the name too well Oh Joelle Oh Joelle Oh Joelle I know the name too well You drank too much again Now I know the end Go find some lonely passerby And climb inside his head I think you know how Just take him home to bed Home to bed Home to bed Oh Joelle Oh Joelle Oh Joelle I know the name too well Oh Joelle Oh Joelle Oh Joelle you can go to hell

Paramedics 03:54
Counting lines on city blocks Counting cigarettes left in the box Counting couples on the shore Everyday I'm counting more It's all I can do To keep my mind off you It's all I can do To keep my mind off you Call the neighbors call the cops It makes no sense now if I stop To end the counting is all I want Kill two birds with two shots It's all I can do To keep my mind off you It's all I can do To keep my hands off you Counting lines on city blocks Counting cigarettes left in the box Paramedics keeping score Making jokes and everyday counting more It's all I can do To keep my mind off you It's all I can do To keep my hands off you

I see it here in the way the leaves are moving A hurricane will be coming Though I don't know how soon I close the window and try To get some sleep ‘til the morning While the clouds outside are forming Will I ever feel prepared? Somewhere in Colorado I am drowning in a bottle I see the sun but I know it don’t see me Somewhere in Color ado I am drowning in a bottle I see my home but I know it don’t see me A thousand miles could I make it any farther I don't want to be a martyr Is there something I could trade? There was a time when I thought that we were something Now we’re a little more than nothing Can you blame me for my fears? Somewhere in Colorado I am drowning in a bottle I see the sun but I know it don’t see me Somewhere in Colorado I am drowning in a bottle I see my home but I know it don’t see me Somewhere in Colorado I am drowning in a bottle I see the sun but I know it don’t see me A thousand miles from the edge of California I see my home but I know it don’t see me

about

This album was recorded with guitar and vocals live together. One mic configuration, whole takes, no edits, no comping. It's filled with imperfections. And for that reason, I hope you enjoy.

Nathan Reich Nashville, Tennessee

"In addition to being a technically brilliant guitarist, Nathan's lyrics put you in a specific place and mindset - it usually has something to do with heartbreak, late nights, and waking up the next day in some new city." - Flavorpill
