about

This is arguably the most personal song I've written to date and the one that I was the most nervous about sharing in any capacity with anyone, especially my friends who are familiar with the story.

I wrote this song on the 10th anniversary of my friend Robert Nason's death while sitting in the family room of my parents house, which is why the lyric "10 years" surfaces repeatedly throughout.

Driveway is about reflecting on this experience from my own perspective, living with it and the remorse, pain and grief that comes with losing a friend who was so young.

lyrics

Ten years to the day
I hold it in
I keep it safe

An engine idles in the driveway
Upholstery still stained

Ten years to the day
I hold it close
I take it with me

Replace the breaks
Oil the chain
An engine idles in the driveway

Put pencil to the page
An outline to trace
Deep rest and a dotted eighth
Breathe it in here with me
Tell me what to say
I let it ring
I let it ring
Why wait
Why wait

Ten years to the day
I hold it in
I keep it safe
Ten years to the day
I hold it close
I take it with me
Ten years to the day
I hold it in
I keep it safe
Ten years to the day
I hold it close
I take you with me

Replace the breaks
Oil the chain
An engine idles in the driveway
