about

Two part track which was the first one I wrote for this project that got me out of quitting music. I put my heart and soul into this track to purge myself of the feelings I had inside of me. the You Say song lyrics came to me the night before i was supposed to record new pavement and we made a bridge happen.

lyrics

New Pavement // You Say

I’ve been right here before
And nothing’s changed except my wonder wonder
Left my hearts fear exposed
And they took my head and pulled me under
Underneath my serious cracked exterior oh
I know I’ve gotta pull myself back up oooh
In my experience no one’s hearing it
If I’m inside my room with words locked up I

I’m stepping on new pavement
Tryina turn my pages
Burn up my complaining
Even when the rain hit
I’m stepping on new pavement
Tryina turn my pages
Burn up my complaining
Even when the rain hit

I’m back to where I was
where I was
Back to closed mouth open eyes and broken lungs
broken lungs
I went through hell and needed help but few were showing up
So what’s up
I need to take apart the structure
Clear out all the snakes in the rain with my thunder
Though my pain isn’t numbing
Novocaine couldn’t cover up mistakes and the blunders
I’m ashmed that my love was so displaced
From the ones who made space for me
It wasn’t their fault I let the others take from me
I need to make some amends
To get this chapter filled with action after breaking some bread
I love my family friends acquaintances awaiting what’s next
On my journey know I’ve learned to put some faith in these steps

I’m stepping on new pavement
Tryina turn my pages
Burn up my complaining
Even when the rain hit
I’m stepping on new pavement
Tryina turn my pages
Burn up my complaining
Even when the rain hit

Ooooo
I’m stepping
I’m step I’m step I’m stepping

You Say

Oooooh ooooooh oooooooh
Dreams
Sunlit eyes still filled with hope
Moonlit sky smell of bonfire smoke
I’m not tired of this place I know
Tell me that I’m lying
I don’t care what you say
I’ve held dreams too big to hold
Let the doubt of some people control
Get me out it ain’t feeding my soul
This is my zone and I don’t care what you say
Oooooh
Ooooooh
Will he ever learn
I don’t care what you say
You should know your worth
I don’t care what you say
This is planet earth
So show em what you’re worth
Your flow within will pull you in
So only care what you say
