lyrics:
There are places in the city that you've always lived,
that you've never been before
And there are pages of your memory that you've always skipped
Like a bill taped to your fridge that you ignore
But it's not gonna get paid now on it's own

And I've got a sink full of dishes that are never clean
Cause I can't quite seem to set aside the time
And I've got a long list of good friends that I never see
And I'd hate to think I know the reasons why

There are days you can't stop thinking of how awful you can be
And there's times you feel pure as the fallen snow
And there are days that you feel pity for that bum out on the street
but he's better than you'd know,
but the past few days have been a little cold

And I've got a sink full of dishes that are never clean
Cause I can't quite seem to set aside the time
And I've got a long list of good friends that I never see
And I'd hate to think I know the reasons why

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".
