about

Another weird tuning where it came all at once, music and words. Though, that verse progression actually utilized an old idea from sophomore year of college, 2004, come to think of it. Solitaires supports recycling. Love it when song comes together all at once, inspired, like a gift, which for me is probably only about 1/3 of the time. This one's about trying to accept and appreciate the changes that parenthood brings. A lot of the album circles around that theme, which of course is why this is the title track.

lyrics

I drive us down to the Park of Roses
This is as close as you’ll get to the ocean today
I guess I wouldn’t have it any other way
Me and the boys stroll down to the river
Sometimes I forget that I’m more than a father
But today I wouldn’t have it any other way

All the late bloomers
Have a strange sense of humor
Mosquitoes fan out from the water
And land on the stalks of our arms
As we laugh and run through them

We put our days into the feed
They fade into the screen
Will they mean a little more if we share them with our friends?
(What’s happening with them?)
I’ve got this recurring dream where I’m falling asleep
You know what it means- they wake us in the middle of the night
It means you’re getting tired

Bleary-eyed babble
Schedules unravel
I’ve got a square foot of quiet protected for a song
You’ve got a longing for travel

And all the times I pulled apart
And all the times I just forgot
And all the times I failed to start again

Well I’m starting again today
It’s a brand new day
I guess I wouldn’t have it any other way
I wouldn’t have it any other way
