lyrics

I’m falling in love with you
I never said I wanted to
But now I’m in too deep
I’m going back to sleep

Soldiers swirl in my head
They tell me that they wish
They weren’t dead
And I say yes I wish that too
Then I hand the soldier
The laces of my shoe

Confidence and hope are key
There’s nothing that they’ll give us
For free
Except a little more load
On our backs
Though I’m not sure it’s really them
That gave us all that

The careless lovely life
Of the breeze
Reminds us that existence
Is a tease
Here and then gone
So fast
Only this heirloom and this memory
Will last

Joe Dickinson Chicago, Illinois

Hi, I’m Joe Dickinson.

I'm a DIY singer/songwriter from Chicago, IL.

It's not easy, balancing the external demands of work/life with the internal demands of creativity, but I'm working toward a set of sustainable internal systems that will allow me to continue to write, record, and release songs. Hopefully for the rest of my life.

I appreciate you taking the time to listen. ... more
