| Lyrics: | Red cup, think I drank a little too much Stumble out the bar into the cold and get lost Trippin’ on words that I try to say Forgetting names while toasting to Chardonnay It’s hard to keep up with a certain look My heart has a problem telling bad from good Still I don’t listen enough cause I sell feelings out like drugs And I ain’t over, I ain’t over, I ain’t over All the times you built me up, to be your love But every time that I get closer to some closure I get stuck on whether I was good enough So are we over, are we over, are we over? Cause I need to know if I can give you up And every time that I get closer to some closure I get stuck on whether I was good enough I know that I’m healing But I still miss those evenings We’d stare at Blank ceilings Talking shit and sharing feelings Wake up naked on a stranger’s floor No clue how I don’t remember anymore Beyond the seventh shot Somewhere around our local spot Grab pills and some water with a coffee, Then my keys and my wallet Now I’m leaving the apartment Wondering how I let this get so out of hand again PC CH |

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
