about

Wander was written after we got back from our first tour as a band. We had the time of our lives, learned a lot about ourselves as a band, but felt very out of place when we got home. Wander is about having a hard time relating to your surroundings, not being able to deal with what's changed since you've been gone, and wanting to do nothing but get back on the road.

lyrics

I went away and came back feeling incomplete
as the concrete sets around my feet
I picture you in a place you feel at ease
I hope the air is so sweet that it rots your teeth out

Come down on me, I'll keep my tongue held back behind my teeth
until I bite the hand that holds my leash
I'll stay all night 'til the candle burns out
How should I be? I keep my bags half packed, still half asleep
All the stories coming out of the bars we frequent
have never been as boring as they are to me now

I don't ever want to turn into a person I don't understand
I've seen it happen to people I'm close to
their demons got the upper hand
The ink is gone, I'm scratching out the words
I've been given things I don't deserve

You're tearing at the fruit
Wring it out and cut me loose
With freedom comes a loneliness, I wanted one but I got two
All I want to be is away for a long time, an overwhelming truth
but if you'd seen the places I've seen you'd feel it too.

If I sit upstairs in the summer heat
while the words you said play on repeat
should I keep my job and quit my dreams
or let go of you and feel at ease

If it wants your ghost can come for me
I've learned to save myself get off my knees
motion sick, hell bound, but found my peace
in late nights long drives and tearing seams
