Track 3 from "Every Day and All at Once" by Jasper Sloan Yip.

Lyrics:


I wander these streets with my head in my hands
and I stare at my feet so I know where I stand.
Every step followed up by the next,
I move with my feet while I breathe with my chest.

I don't feel alright, but I think I'll be fine.
If I just keep on moving I can kill all the time
between the place I just left and where I'll see you next.
I hope that's enough but I'm not holding my breath.

There always will be space in-between where I find myself and where I want to be.
I miss you, I miss you, I wish that I could kiss you.
This distance between us has become an issue.

I feel such a mess ever since I left, and I'm doing my best.

But I can't, I won't, let's just elope
and head back to the coast where I know we could cope.
Let's washed our hands, let's make amends and let's not think of anything else.
So please, Madeleine, understand that I've already lost all of my friends
and I just can't lose you as well.

Regarding those two-hundred-ninety-odd days:
there's no way either of us could articulate
what happened between us, what changed in our hearts,
now that we're home we are farthest apart.

I'm at my best when I walk all alone.
I don't need money, or drugs or my cellular phone.
These feelings of mine that I cannot describe
are leading me on to leave everything I know behind.

But I can't, please don't leave me alone.
I am so sick of the road, I've got nowhere to go.
I have washed my hands, I have made amends
But I can't stop thinking of everything else.
So please, Madeleine, understandthat I've already lost all of my friends
and I just can't lose you as well.

My friends don't know how much I miss them tonight.

I've got nothing but time and a big hole to fill,
And if time doesn't kill me that emptiness will.

I saw you with said the whale in February! You were absolutely fantastic, and I got my first autographed album from you too. Here's hoping you win the peak performance project. I'll be astounded if you aren't world famous a few years down the road. Anyways, best of luck, and cheers.

Saw you gusy at the Jazz Festival in Vancouver last year, whilst visiting from the UK. Bought your album straight afterwards, and will always serve as my soundtrack to that holiday! Fantastic memories, you guys deserve all the success in the world!
