This will be the last track on the album, currently titled BRIGHTON. There are two more songs I'm working on for it, so it'll total out to 10 songs.
I’ve grown tired of writing songs about you
Letting you live inside my head
It was helpful while my heart was hurting
But now there’s nothing left unsaid
This is the end
Carving space and asking who I am
Digging in graveyards, giving up control
Chasing shadows and living in airports
You made me better, you left me alone
And this is how heartache goes, fall fast and move on slow
The day comes that we accept the setting sun
Holding on while letting go
We didn’t know the things we didn’t know
I learned more in the aftermath
Than I did along the way
All the same, I’d say I’m grateful
I stayed in Brighton for five whole days
And this is how heartache goes, fall fast and move on slow
The day comes that we accept the setting sun
Holding on while letting go
We didn’t know the things we didn’t know
And I might end up here again
Writing songs when my heart breaks, when something ends
But for now I can say there’s nothing left to say
‘Bout the man in the mile high state
And this is how heartache goes, fall fast and move on slow
The day comes that we accept the setting sun
Holding on while letting go
We didn’t know the things we didn’t know

Yeah, this sounds like a good closer to an album. Sounds like there's quite a story being told in the previous 9 songs! I like how Brighton is clearly a character in the story as well.
