about

I'll be embarking on a 5 week immersion program in Poland beginning Tuesday July 3rd with my best friend Alex. It will be a huge cultural transition for both of us, leaving the comfort of our homes to visit a foreign world with out any familiar people. I'm excited. I wanted to wish you all the best of summers. Have fun and enjoy yourselves. Be safe, and wish me luck!

lyrics

Lyrics:

[It's not a Poland Spring, I'm going there upon a wing. My feathers may have fallen but I know I can do anything. Traveling and growing fast, going passed the choking past, I think I'm just a kid, but I'm a boat and the world is my mast.]


By the time you all have heard this I'll be out in Poland.
Across the ocean with a friend and languages unspoken.
I'm gonna learn about the land of my mother and all.
I'm gonna go there and study a bit and never fall.

What if I'm in love it so much I decided to stay?
What if I come back a different kid than I'm being today?
I guess I won't be wise and smart enough to know it, so I'm going over there, but for the moment I'll be flowing.

Living and wishing and hoping summer's not a wisp of hair.
A kiss of air upon my forehead deserving of stares,
Climbing up a mountain and swimming across an open sea,
I know that life's beginning and I'll never be a broken me.

A token key of smoking trees and doing teenage things,
I never had a need to fit in, so I sit here and sing,
I make this music so my story will ever be told,
And when I'm old, I know that I'll be warmer and never be cold.

[Hook]

The future's coming close, in fact I think I feel it's eyes,
Watching me and stalking me about to say "surprise".
The future lurks and winks at me and sees me cringing nervously,
But still I find amazement in the man I'm growing up to be.

The world is creeping closer and I know that I could touch it now,
But I try to stay away, to stay a kid someway some how.
College coming fast and music's slipping through my fingers,
So I write another song before I'm replaced with better singers.

Insecure but oh so proud,
Sitting here beneath the clouds,
I try to act a fool, but when I clown I find a golden crown.

Be yourself and you'll succeed,
Believe me how it's worked for me.
And when you try to front, you'll find that nothing seems to be lucky

[Hook]

Finally the final verse,
I'll leave you with a rival curse,
If you plan to party try to leave in something but a hearse,
Staying out and bumping tunes,
Smoking there with blunts you cruise,
Slamming down the drinks because you only have one life to lose.

I'm sick of this new motto, an excuse to try to risk your life.
YOLO let's the people think that any act is justified.
Just as I have said before, have a safe summer,
And before you down another drink attempt to think or wonder.

While I know I'll miss my friends and my family and girl,
I'm glad that I can finally go out and see the world.
I know that in the end I'll be a better person here,
So a toast to life, a toast to Poland, a toast to everybody here.

[Hook]
