My faults are not yours But I wish that they were I struggle to find middle ground I know how this ends But still I pretend That somehow it might work itself out Can you see Straight through to me? Or am I blocked by disguise? I'd give you my heart But will you depart If you find I'm not one of the same? The feeling is there It has to be shared We talk with our hearts in our mouths Tell me the truth We're still in our youth I want you to grow old with me Can you see Straight through to me? Or am I blocked by disguise? I'd give you my heart But will you depart If you find I'm not one of the same? For both of our sakes Just give me a break I tried not to take it this far But love's just a word Well, that's what I heard Until your speech changed my view Can you see Straight through to me? Or am I blocked by disguise? I'd give you my heart But will you depart If you find I'm not one of the same?

Unsaid 03:43
I heard you were leaving So I didn’t let you know That the things that I believed in I started to let them go So I’m stuck in a corner And I can’t shut my mouth You’re right on the border Of finding me out You’re finding me out Now I’m under fire I didn’t think this through You call me a liar But what does that make you? I yelled that I loved you At least in my head I’m sure if I told you You’d leave it unsaid You left it unsaid Take me back to the beginning When you weren’t just a dream

I promised I would settle down my heart for you But some things aren't meant to be Though I came to you with all my faults in hand I never planned to leave When I said I’d love you I didn’t make it up I just thought it wouldn’t be this hard Yeah, I told you things that I may not mean right now But I promise that I’ll see them through And when I think about my life I see you there You’re what my words will never live up to When I said I’d love you I didn’t make it up I just forgot how much I hate this fear Although, I was never one for arguments It made me show how much I care Sure, things aren’t how I had pictured them But what good is it to just compare? When I said I’d love you I didn’t make it up I just want you to know that I’m here
4.
Give me a minute to catch my breath I've been running my mouth off of a cliff And why does it feel like you and I Can open our hearts if we close our minds? I've been here before But I still can't decide If I follow through today Will I run out of time? I could turn and walk away Who would tell me what I missed? But maybe all my other failures Have just led up to this When I close my eyes to blink Does the whole world just disappear? Yeah I admit I don't know much I have questions about some things and other stuff But who really cares? We just look the part Keep trying to fix ourselves so we don't fall apart Something pulls me back That I can't quite comprehend If I promise something more What kind of message will that send? I imagined life As flowing water over rocks No collisions only detours Timed by the ticking of a clock So does it matter what I think Or does it matter what I say?

Castle Creek 04:47
I don’t remember the day I grew up, But I will not forget how it felt It felt like a bone was taken out of my back as I struggled through this change I'd been dealt But looking back often I see my old friends With their bats and their mitts and their gloves Sooner or later they'd all move away But the thing that remains is the love All the balls through the windows and our mothers' loud shrieks, I will always remember that street I think of the nights spent out under that light As we talk about how life will be With dreams of a mansion and four car garage We had goals, we had hopes, we were free As we hid in the bushes too scared to be seen We thought that we would never have to go But just like the grass mowed six feet from our face We just had to be cut to regrow With the man in the garage that was never asleep I will always remember that street From the first time I climbed up that mountain of stairs To the day that I tearfully left There are things that I leave here and pass on today Oh, my childhood belongs to you next Though the castle may tumble to the smallest of creeks I will always remember that street I will always remember that street

about

Each of these five songs were written in a different time, in different circumstances, and for different reasons over this past year. Some songs, like the title track, are entirely truthful stories from my life, while others push a basic experience I've had to its extreme.

Special thanks to:

Alex Ownejazayeri for being there when most of these songs were born and telling me I'm great (or not).

Brighton Forsgren for helping me write "For A Future Love" and for putting her angelic voice on the EP.

Randy Jones for making this EP sound incredible and making sure things look nice because I don't know what I'm doing with design stuff.

Carter Beavers, Ben Miner, Randy Jones, my parents, and rest of the original Castle Creek friends for inspiring the title track and, more importantly, for filling my childhood with great memories.
