lyrics

last night i looked through
the evidence
a life i lived
without much permanence
in the beauty
of unchecked innocence

miss the days when i would take a ride
just the battle in me by my side
and all i needed to survive
i threw

in my car
where i see
and unfenced reality

miles are no longer
what they mean
shoves a trigger
into all my dreams
i am riding inside the palm
of god's right arm
i'm a surface
i'm a moving point
a broke-in army jacket
smoking joints
i'm away to a place
that i have never been
and i'm seeing again

if there's a reason
it's to untie up my mind
it's just fuel

in my car
where i see
unrehearsed reality

i never want to try and understand
this beats the life inside me
out again
looking through my left hand
to mexico
and no matter what i have
built since
it's the distance that's
the monument
when i look backwards
and i repent
for all of the beauty
i missed along the way

about

David Waingarten Portland, Oregon

David plays music to keep himself company. He digs records that sound like they were recorded in bedrooms and basements, and is inspired by the raw intimacy and honesty of Paul Simon, Elliot Smith, Blaze Foley and Gillian Welch. His songs are about healing, living in your car, longing to be found, gratitude, riding subways, finding silence, and stumbling along your path. ... more
