Backstage Pass (feat. Kopko) Video (MV)

I may never play the garden, but if I do, I want you there
I may completely lose out, but sometimes life just ain't fair
I used to play out in the garden, but good things, they never last
I may never make it big, but if I do, here's your backstage pass

I'm coping with my mortality, coming to terms with this reality
That this is just a season, and it's moving way too fast
But I gotta save now if I wanna make it to Paris
But it'll all pass me by, so I gotta save Ferris

I said, doctor, I think I'm sick, and he said, no, you're just nostalgic
Take a picture of who you used to be, and keep it in your wallet
So when they try to steal from you, you remember who you are
When you feel a little lost, you remember you've come far

Sometimes I call the hospital, just to ask for the time
Sometimes I'll ask my favorite movie, if I can't think of a rhyme
Will I wish to go back to now, if I'm wishing to go back to then
I won't remember it all, that's why I take notes with a pen

I may never play the garden, but if I do, I want you there
I may completely lose out, but sometimes life just ain't fair
I used to play out in the garden, but good things, they never last
I may never make it big, but if I do, here's your backstage pass

Art is subjective, we've all been rejected
But what's the perspective of hating without retrospective
I take the elective with no thought objective, but it's not what they want
So they take the objection like, whoa, just a kid, I'm new at this

Trying to hold on to a little bliss
Too many trips around the sun, some moments I don't want to miss
Got the discipline and the drive, and I'm trying to stay alive
So I can make some things to show my kids and maybe then I'll be proud of me

I may never play the garden, but if I do, I want you there
I may completely lose out, but sometimes life just ain't fair
I used to play out in the garden, but good things, they never last
I may never make it big, but if I do, here's your backstage pass

Tell me how long till I get to you
When am I there? When am I through
How much longer till I'm no longer
Confused

I'm not ready to turn 20
I thought time, there was plenty, but I spent it all on me

I may never play the garden, but if I do, I want you there
I may completely lose out, but sometimes life just ain't fair
I used to play out in the garden, but good things, they never last
I may never make it big, but if I do, here's your backstage pass

(really long silence to signify the end of the EP)
