about

A friend was misinformed about an occurrence at one of my shows when I played Stupid Haircut live for the first time and got very upset with me. I thought everything was good and when I went to invite them to my tour kick off show a month or two later, they did not exist. The words of this song are the result of a rant that I wrote in Notepad within moments of this discovery.

lyrics

that moment when you feel every emotion coursing through your body at
one million miles an hour
but at the same time, time slows down to a creep and a crawl like the tortoise from that tale
and all over the stupidest of things
like getting defriended on facebook
or your roommate drinking your last red bull
or the person that you're talking to no longer wants to talk to you
so they jsut hang up the phone

I write all of these songs about the things that I feel
and the people who make me feel them
like my ex girlfriend or my other ex girlfriend or
the girl that I wish was my girlfriend or
my former best friends or my friends that got married
or just hating myself or
my overbearing father or my lack of a mother
or the loss of my grandfather

So please don't be offended if I write a song that mentions you
especially when you hear the song second hand because
I would never write malicious words about a friend or
anyone that I ever cared about at all so
don't believe everything you hear because
even your best friend lies
and it would be my advice to not say goodbye to a friendship
over a song you never heard

Don't ever let anyone make you feel like you're not allowed to
express yourself, express yourself -- any way that you want and
Don't ever let anyone make you feel like you're not allowed to
express yourself, express yourself, express yourself
any way you want
