Your Needs, My Needs – Noah Kahan Lyrics, Letra:

Oh, well, who was I
Who was I to watch you wilt?
You ain’t gotta tell me what it means
Trace the outlines of your dreams
You’ll always be a flower on my skin
And the pain that I am in
Mm, it’s all the same
The losing touch, the waiting game
Cross that county line
I promise to be there this time
Alright?

You were a work of art
That’s the hardest part
Howlin’ like dogs in the light of the moon
Holdin’ our breath after 132
You asked me why I wasn’t sayin’ a word
I’m naming the stars in the sky after you
It was a work of art
That’s the hardest part

To spiral out, to try and float
To see a friend, to see a ghost
Bitter-brained, always drunk
Rail-thin, Zoloft
Subtle change, shorter days
Dead-eyеd, dead weight
Your life, your dreams
Your mind, your needs
My needs
Your needs, my needs

Spiral out, try and float
See a friend, see a ghost
To see a ghost, see a ghost
See a ghost

Dial Drunk – Noah Kahan Lyrics, Letra:

I’m rememberin’ I promised to forget you now
But it’s rainin’ and I’m callin’ drunk
And my medicine is drowning your perspective out
So I ain’t taking any fault
Am I honest still? Am I half the man I used to be?
I doubt it, forget about it, whatever
It’s all the same anyways

I ain’t proud of all the punches that I’ve thrown
In the name of someone I no longer know
For the shame of being young, drunk, and alone
Traffic lights and a transmitter radio
I don’t like that, when they threw me in the car
I gave your name as my emergency phone call
Honey, it rang and rang, even the cops thought you were wrong for hanging up
I dial drunk, I’ll die a drunk, I’ll die for you

I’m untethering from the parts of me you’d recognize
From charming to alarming in seconds
I’ll be bedridden, I’ll let the pain metastasize
But, that’s morning, I’ll forget it
And the dial tone is all I have

I ain’t proud of all the punches that I’ve thrown
In the name of someone I no longer know
For the shame of being young, drunk, and alone
Traffic lights and a transmitter radio
I don’t like that, when they threw me in the car
I gave your name as my emergency phone call
Honey, it rang and rang, even the cops thought you were wrong for hanging up
I dial drunk, I’ll die a drunk, I’d die for you
Well, I’d die for you

Thank you, sir, just let me call
I’ll give you my blood alcohol
I’ll rot with all the burnouts in the cell
I’ll change my faith, I’ll praise the flag
Just wait, I swear she’ll call me back
Oh, son, are you a danger to yourself?

Well, fuck that sir, just let me call
I’ll give you my blood alcohol
I’ll rot with all the burnouts in the cell
I’ll change my faith, I’ll kiss the badge
Just wait, I swear she’ll call me back
Son, why do you do this to yourself?
And I said

I ain’t proud of all the punches that I’ve thrown
In the name of someone I no longer know (I no longer know)
For the shame of being young, drunk, and alone
Traffic lights and a transmitter radio
I don’t like that, when they threw me in the car
I gave your name as my emergency phone call
Honey, it rang and rang, even the cops thought you were wrong for hanging up
I dial drunk, I’ll die a drunk, I’d die for you

Paul Revere – Noah Kahan Lyrics, Letra:

County line, I’m countin’ down
Mailboxes until my house
This place had a heartbeat in its day
Vail bought the mountains, and nothing was the same
Yes, the boys are drunk, the Sun is high
Their license plates: Live Free or Die
But it just ain’t that simple, it never was
We’ll drink till New Year’s, then they’ll leave me to clean up

One day, I’m gonna cut it clear
Ride like Paul Revere
And, when they ask me who I am
I’ll say: I’m not from around here

I’ll leave before the road crew’s out
Before those joggers, looking way too proud
And I’ll turn up the music and I’ll forget
Until it ends, that I’m not ready to let go yet

One day, I’m gonna cut it clear
Ride like Paul Revere
And, when they ask me who I am
I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear
It’s typical, I fear
Folks just disappear
And, when they ask me who I am
I’ll say: I’m not from around here

I’ll say: I’m not from around here

But I’m in my car, and I see the yard
The patch of grass where we buried the dog
And the world makes sense behind a chain-link fence
If I could leave, I would’ve already left
But I’m in my car, and I see the yard
And the patch of grass where we buried the dog
And the world makes sense behind a chain-link fence
If I could leave, I would’ve already left
I would’ve already left

No Complaints – Noah Kahan Lyrics, Letra:

I thought I had something
And that’s the same as having something
I get mad at nothing, blame my dad for something
I pull no punches, then feel bad for months
Mm, thought I was raised better, tried to fake better
Tried to blame weather and escape better
Hope the skin heals where the pain enters

Oh, but I finally got sewed up
I set a time, then I showed up
And, now, the weight of the world ain’t so bad
Mm-mhm

I saw the end, it looks just like the middle
I got a paper and pen and a page with no space
I filled the hole in my head with prescription medication
And forgot how to cry
Who am I to complain?

And now the pain’s different
It still exists, it just escapes different
And evades vision, makes the rain different
Makes the news boring, and my rage distant
Yes, I’m young and living dreams
In love with being noticed
And afraid of being seen
But I can finally eat
And I can fall asleep
It’s fine, fine, fine

I finally got sewed up
I set a time, then I showed up
And, now, the weight of the world ain’t that bad

Well, I saw the end, it looks just like the middle
I got a paper and pen and a page with no space
I filled the hole in my head with prescription medication
Then forgot how to cry, who am I, who am I to complain?

To complain
Oh, oh-oh, oh
To complain

I saw the end, it looked just like the middle
I got a paper and pen, but I can’t feel the pain
I filled the hole in my head with prescription medication
Then forgot how to cry
Who am I to complain?

You’re Gonna Go Far – Noah Kahan Lyrics, Letra:

The only time I got to praying for a red light
Was when I saw your destination as a deadline
This is normal conversation, babe, it’s all fine
Making quiet calculations where the fault lies
This is good land, or at least it was
It takes a strong hand and a sound mind

The college kids are getting so young, ain’t they?
They’re correcting all the grammar on a spray paint
And I even gave up driving after nightfall
I got tired of the frat boys with their brights on
This is good land, or at least it was
It takes a strong hand and a sound mind

It makes me smile to know when things get hard
Ooh-ooh, you’ll be far
Ooh-ooh, you’ll be far from here
And, while I clean shit up in the yard
Ooh-ooh, you’ll be far
Ooh-ooh, you’ll be far, far from here

So, pack up your car, put a hand on your heart
Say whatever you feel, be wherever you are
We ain’t angry at you, love
You’re the greatest thing we’ve lost
The birds will still sing
Your folks will still fight
The boards will still creak
The leaves will still die
We ain’t angry at you, love
We’ll be waiting for you, love

And we’ll all be here forever
And we’ll all be here forever
We sure will

We’re overdue for a revival
We spent so long just getting by
That’s the thing about survival
Who the hell, who the hell likes livin’ just to die?
You told me you would make a difference
Well, I got drunk and shut you down
It won’t be by your own volition
If you step foot outside this town
But it’s all we’ve had
For always

So, pack up your car, put a hand on your heart
Say whatever you feel, be wherever you are
We ain’t angry at you, love
You’re the greatest thing we’ve lost
The birds will still sing
Your folks will still fight
The boards will still creek
The leaves will still die
We ain’t angry at you, love
We’ll be waiting for you, love

And we’ll all be here forever
And we’ll all be here forever

You’re gonna go far
You’re gonna go far
You’re gonna go far
You’re gonna go far
Yes, you are
(Ooh-ooh)

If you wanna go far
Then you gotta go far

The View Between Villages (Extended) – Noah Kahan Lyrics, Letra:

Air in my lungs ‘til the road begins
As the last of the bugs leave their homes again
And I’m splittin’ the road down the middle
For a minute, the world seemed so simple

Feel the rush of my blood, I’m seventeen again
I am not scared of death, I’ve got dreams again
It’s just me and the curve of the valley
And there is meanin’ on earth, I am happy

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh

Passed Alger Brook Road, I’m over the bridge
A minute from home, but I feel so far from it
The death of my dog, the stretch of my skin
It’s all washin’ over me, I’m angry again
The things that I lost here, the people I knew
They got me surrounded for a mile or two
The car’s in reverse, I’m grippin’ the wheel
I’m back between villages, and everything’s still

When I, for me personally
I found a town big enough for anything that I want
I mean, I’m not a city girl, ha-ha-ha, by any means
Strafford, it still has a lot of meaning to me
Because I grew up there
Well, I guess it’s a small (ah, ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
A small community of, uh, people that really look out for each other (ah, ah, ah)
And that’s the same way with anybody that needs anything
This, this community is there to help

Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ooh (Woah)
Ah-oh

The things that I lost here, the people I knew
They got me surrounded for a mile or two
Left at the graveyard, I’m driving past ghosts
Their arms are extended, my eyes start to close
The car’s in reverse, I’m grippin’ the wheel
I’m back between villages, and everything’s still
