about

An homage to Jackson Browne's classic 'These Days', features Darryl Purpose on vocals.

lyrics

The first thing I knew that drew me to you
Was the fact that you didn’t seem to care
Much about anything
You’d once put me down for liking Jackson Browne
You said that his songs were too slow and overly serious

And who knew no I didn’t have a clue
It took me a while to see
Then it was clear it was all just veneer
You were breaking inside just like me

Let the grass grow high
Let the leaves lay down
Watch the stars roll by
In their own sweet time

And we’ll sing These Days
And we’ll choke on the line
Don’t remind me of my failures
I have not forgotten mine

Then as you know, a couple of summers ago
We got lost walking in some bog
Somewhere in Florida
Covered in bites, we sank to new heights
We didn’t make it back to the car til somewhere past midnight

We still had to smile, though it took us a while
Til we’d showered and turned out the light


So maybe it’s a false sense of well being
But I think that my favorite thing's when 
we’re Wasting Time,
Wasting Time

Let the grass grow high
Let the leaves lay down
Watch the stars roll by
In their own sweet time
