Gray invited me to join the song-a-week club with a small group of musicians. A title is proposed and everyone writes a song with that title. This week it was: Anybody Else?
Anybody Else?
I’m been talking through my mask
Tryin to see through foggy glass
Anybody else tired of tying to see and be heard?
I’ve been taking lots of walks
Tryin to get out of my box
Anybody else diggin this life differed?
I’m givin up on all the news
Cuz it was givin me the blues
Anybody else lookin for someone that understands?
My forearms are always sore
From guitars and keyboards
Anybody else just thankful for their hands?
I feel like I’m gonna make it someday
But what if that day is today?
What if it’s never getting better?
I’m never gonna make a lota cheddar
I’m just so glad we’re still together
Anybody else woulda been long gone
I’ve been wanderin round the yard
Lookin kinda avant-garde
Anybody else walking the dog in your robe?
(How’d it get in your robe?)
I’m seeing concerts on the lawn
Dreamin a stage to put them ’em on
Anybody else wanna be in the show?
One day I’m gonna make it all come true
Summer livin somewhere warm with you
Sailin away for a season, forgettin about all this treason
Until then we’re gonna power through
I feel like I’m gonna make it someday
But what if that day is today?
What if it’s never getting better?
I’m never gonna be a trendsetter
I’m just so glad that we are still together
Anybody else woulda just moved on
I feel like I’m gonna make it someday
But what if that day is today?
What if it’s never getting better?
All of my prayers are dead letters
I’m just so glad that we are still together
Anybody else would be sick of my songs
