lyrics

I woke up with the stints again
I dreamt if I abbreviated every word
You’d still know what I meant
So I only feed you samples and just give
Another perfect example

Nothing I make into a secret
Really needs to be labeled as such so

I loved you like Pangea
I see where things could’ve fit
But all I remember are the continents
I wish things were centered back in the middle
And I wish I knew you when you were little

At ten I moved out of the apartment I grew up in
And I couldn’t see my best friend every day
You said you knew what it’s like being a lonely kid

At least our lives happen when they do
I owe a thank you to your childhood

I loved you like the universe compressed to a speck
Before any signs of movement
I wish we were before things existed
And I wish I knew you when you were a kid

about

Randy's Got a Playdough Face image

Randy's Got a Playdough Face Queens, New York

Having almost always recorded in a full band setting, Randy has allowed every instrument to mature with each release using influences that lend to the indie rock sweethearts like Death Cab for Cutie, Wilco, Modest Mouse, Slint, Sunny Day Real Estate, R.E.M.

Randy has a heavy focus on the “album” format, long chord progressions, and suspending song structures.

Thanks for being here. ... more
