When I was writing Dragging the Coast, I felt like I was at a very bad place. Adjusting to touring and staying gone as much as we did really strains everything in your life around you. I know it’s said a lot, but you really can’t describe what it does to you.

You leave for a few months and you come back, and so much has changed. But it doesn’t hit you all at once, it’s almost like a fog lifting. Everything feels familiar, feels the same, but somethings changed. And then it hit me, the world always changes, that’s what happens. Businesses open and close, people move away or get married or have kids, friends pass or move on to new friends. But this is no different than regular life. The difference is in the perception.

While I was in the van, I would always be thinking away to home or somewhere else. Maybe the next city. I’d be thinking about my brother, or mother, or my girlfriend. I would miss them. I would miss things like Chinese food. Or the fact that the gas station up my street has slush puppies still. Or a 24 hour Mcdonald’s right by my house. I would miss it all. And then when I came home, I would expect everything to be just as I left it. But it wasn’t. The world, and the people in it, change and evolve whether you’re around to watch it happen or not.

So I guess this song would be that realization. That humbling feeling when you realize the world is just fine without you. No matter how important or unimportant you might be. Coming home and realizing the home you spent all your time missing was just a passing fancy. A facade we placate to make ourselves feel secure, no matter how far away from our bedrooms we get. And I feel like that’s ok. There’s nothing wrong with hope, even if it comes from nostalgia. And there’s nothing wrong with not knowing where you are going, as long as you’re happy.

I’ll post the link to the video below if you want to check it out. I will say this is my favorite song we have ever done.

How long would you say I’d have to wait? I’ve been feeling around these white washed walls watching the time slip away. They think I’m strong, they think I’m brave. But the walls around me are closing in, its getting harder every day.

I know this isn’t me, or who I’m supposed to be. I’ve been weak for weeks. I’ve been losing sleep trying to stay up on my feet. You see I hate these streets, they just remind me of defeat. Home could never mean anything if it never wanted me. How can I believe in anything.

I’m sorry, its just the way I have to deal, because I’ve been searching for something real, and dragging the coast to see where I left myself and I figured out that each new city takes a piece of me. I’m spread way too thin, I swear you wouldn’t believe, but I would never change a thing.

It’s never been hard for me to make excuses for this life I lead. Without these sleepless nights I swear I couldn’t breathe they are the best and worst of me. I need to find a place to store my piece of mind. A way to face the worst of days, when no one’s on my side.

I’ve got to find a way to believe.

I’m sorry, its just the way I have to deal, because I’ve been searching for something real, and dragging the coast to see where I left myself and I figured out that each new city takes a piece of me. I’m spread way too thin, I swear you wouldn’t believe, but I would never change a thing.

Where do we go from here? I need to find my way back. And find something to call my own.

I’m sorry, its just the way I have to deal, because I’ve been searching for something real, and dragging the coast to see where I left myself and I figured out that each new city takes a piece of me. I’m spread way too thin, I swear you wouldn’t believe, but I would never change a thing.

Where do we go from here?
