Ernest Hemingway 03:20
lyrics

Careful now Ernest Hemingway thoughts in my head Make it stop Electricity tears em to shreds Overwhelmed Sweet simplicity makes me feel sane Come around maybe later, let's do this again And I start to see Bullets floating on the breeze And I start to hear Bells ringing in my ears Sleep it off Ernest Hemingway dreams in the night Fifth of scotch drowns the memories, lime on the side And I start to see Bullets swimming out to great me And I start to hear Bells ringing in my ears Saw him in the bar Drinking after dark Unkempt and lonesome I couldn't stand to see him that way Said "Mr. Hemingway tell me everything I'll take you home if you want" And I start to see Bullets shooting into me And I start to fear THE BELLS RINGING IN MY EARS Oh my god Ernest Hemingway, Gun's in my mouth Steady now, trigger finger let's work this thing out...

Gia Can you make room for two The bouncer doesn't seem to like you Oh girl it's just so good to meet ya Gia I need the story of your life Just tell me anything you'd like Just lie and i'll have no idea Gin Rummy nights, I hate to fight with you Louisiana's nice San Bernardino's good too I hope you'll be alright Cuz it gets awfully cold at night when your alone Oh Gia hurry back home! Gia Oh now you're whining all time And now it's time to say good night Nah nah you're not leaving with me Gin Rummy nights, I hate to fight with you Louisiana's nice San Bernardino's good too I hope you'll be alright Cuz it gets awfully cold at night when your alone OH GIA HURRY BACK HOME Here, take my coat...

One Step Ahead 03:54
lyrics
buy track
You've been around for just too long now cuz when i look into your eyes they make me tremble, make me fall down the falling counteracts the high Makes me feel alright I'm doing just fine And so I hover in the darkness Caught in the limbo of your life But when I couldn't stand the closeness I had to give it one last try Make me feel alright I'm doing just fine PLEASE don't go I had to do it but what it was I did I still don't know Would stop at nothing but of course I stopped when. you. told. me no You're always one step ahead of me Always one step ahead of me What makes you slower than the other guys? What makes you think they're worth a bit of your time? You're always one step ahead of me Always one step ahead of me You're always one....

Mile to Go 01:56
lyrics
buy track
I've got a mile to go Showered for a while Senses in denial (Keep your eyes on the road!) I've got a mile to go! I Keep my eyes on the road Students cross walking Looking for some parking... (You've got some places to go!) I'll Keep my eyes on the road! I've got some places to go Teacher: apathetic Book: I haven't read it (But there's so much to know!) And I've got some places to go!

The Cold Shoulder 03:20
lyrics
buy track
Mommy's afraid for her boy So easy to upset and annoy Now he ignores her The Cold Shoulder Starting to question some things Detaching some of the strings He's taking over Nobody told her And it makes me feel older x2 AND IT MAKES ME FEEL OLD Oh mommy's afraid for her boy So easy to upset and annoy How it destroys her The Cold Shoulder And it makes me feel old (you sent him off and now ya lost him He's coming home a little different) And it makes me feel older (you sent him off and now ya lost him He's coming home, just keep your distance) AND IT MAKES ME FEEL OLD

about

Partly cloudy, indie pop/rock. The Sun From Both Sides is chock full of tasty treats and hearty meats. Alex writes about weird thoughts, eccentric dining companions, unrequited love, and college-life conundrums. Recorded in a bedroom closet during his senior year at the University of Miami, this EP is a musical graduation ceremony.

"To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides"

Listen to it loudly/on repeat.

La Villa Marina Family : Taylor, Nick, Joey, David, Reed, Dylan and Luke for putting up with all the noise I have made over the past two years

Joe Maccarone for the incredible album art. I mean look at it. IT IS A WORK OF GODDAMN ART. APPRECIATE IT. Also check out his website for more: joemaccarone.com
