about

Living Room Window (2018)
If you take the time to look, you can find adventure, interesting sights, sounds, imagination, and dreams just out your window. There are wonderful things to see and hear no matter where you are.

lyrics

just awake at a soft recline
in the afternoon sunshine
streaming through open blinds
making shadows and lines

someone's taking a jog
another walking their dog
someone's fixing their house
another restoring their car

as I look out I feel trapped inside
should I take a walk or a bike ride?
but it seems too cold and windy
just to see some birds and trees,
It’s warm in here with safety and a sense of ease

maybe I’ll go out to the car
and go somewhere far
for a different perspective
from being introspective

neighbors make rhythms and grooves in a jumble
with my car stereo and the train's rumble
they would complete a great score,
that I’ll only hear if I crack open the door

to where I don’t know
into a great and vast flow
of my imagination
and revelations

circling the clouds
above the crowds
into the beautiful rain calling my name
would it not be the same

as looking out the living room window
with tears in my eyes
a hazy view of the ground
a world with muted sound

cars and insects, land and trains
are those gravel mounds or mountains?
all these things are a way into my dreams
as the scenery passes by, it seems

like those car rides I took as a kid
old grainy film projected
onto a screen moving sideways
my gaze goes in and out of phase

moving around can grow tiring
looking upon town after town
hotels are not as charming
just another place to sit down

to be a witness
to a secret moment in stillness
is it really different from the glass and air
sitting on my worn sofa chair?

just awake at a soft recline
in the afternoon sunshine
streaming through open blinds
making shadows and lines
