lyrics:
Snowy static floats around like dead leaves in the air,
and tangles up your mind
Words get crossed out and misplaced and tumble down the stairs,
into some other life

But don't you ever,
don't you ever dare
Don't you ever,
don't you ever try to go back there
Just leave them there

Fishtanks in the waiting rooms of doctors offices
can leave you hypnotized
And that place back in middle school
that you smoked with your best friend for the very first time

Don't you ever,
don't you ever dare
Don't you ever,
don't you ever try to go back there
Just leave them there

Silhouettes of people that you always thought you knew
can turn out to be wrong
And there are going to be times that you forget the words
to all your favorite songs

But don't you ever,
don't you ever dare
Don't you ever,
don't you ever try to go back there
Just leave them there

about "Dishes"
Recorded in the winter at a hospital in Michigan. In the middle of a tour, I had to come home early to be with my grandfather who was dying, and at his request, and I sang and played guitar, violin, and banjo for him during the last few weeks of his life. During the nights, when I couldn't sleep (I slept at the hospital), I recorded on a 4-track recorder to pass the time in the waiting room. After the funeral, I resumed the touring. I forgot about these recordings until it came time to record my 2nd full length. Choosing to record this project with Darin Rajabian (Nightlife), who asked if I had any rough cuts of the songs I intended on recording. After listening to the recordings from that winter, he insisted that these were, in-fact, the album tracks. I added bass to some of the tracks, and he set about the task of mixing the tracks and turning them into a cohesive record which we titled, "Dishes".
