about

this is the first song i ever finished writing and will be the first song i ever release. the acoustic version is a special release to tide people over as they patiently wait for something bigger...
i wrote this feeling like i was outgrowing the space i took up; i was absolutely desperate to know what was up ahead, what was good, what was right, what was worthwhile. i felt like couldn't see way forward; i only knew i wasn't doing it right.

lyrics

RAILWAY ST

VERSE 1
We hide behind our freshly painted fences
Lock the doors of our two storey homes
Comfort is all we’ll ever hope

CHORUS 1
As I watch through the windows
Of doors that have closed
On the road that is emptying out
I think to myself what I’d leave on the shelf
If the landlord kicked us out
The sun seems slower to rise
And it takes us longer to drive
On Railway St

VERSE 2
I place my best foot forward
They think I’m going places
Straighten the frames of pictures on our walls
I’m taking longer to get out the door

CHORUS 2
They are patiently waiting for nothing at all
Growing up has let them down
Have the time of your life
But nobody taught me what that would look like
The way the world has become
The street will wait for the sun
On Railway St
On Railway St

BRIDGE
It’s all i know
I can’t soften the blow
How boring is
Everything I ever did

VERSE 3
Started small now I can reach the top shelf
Undefined there’s trails to be blazed
Once I make it through the haze

REFRAIN 3
I see my street differently now
And I watch as the sun will go down
