This song was inspired by a collection of Stephen King short stories one of which was called "Everything's Eventual" (and actually, the collection is called "Everything's Eventual", fyi).
The music started as a collaboration pitch to Lake Oswego legend Daniel Work, but nothing ever came of it. So, I just finished it myself and have been rocking it ever since.
When you're alone then, your cover is blown
I come clean with the deepest part of me
I could be cool or I could be dead
I step step to the rhythm in my head
I slide in the road
but a temporary loss of control don't worry me
Only one way to go
and I'll get there or I won't, everything's eventually
gonna steer me right
I slide in the road
I could be three, or, more, people a week, or
I could sit around naked in my head
Two could be worse, or better
I take chances in passing weather
A little bit of me, for a bit of you
I slide in the road
but a temporary loss of control don't worry me
I got one way to go
and I'll get there or I won't, everything's eventual
I slide in the road
I'll be the man that I can be around you
When I'm on my own, hope that's still true
I see myself floating above this dread and you
below
I slide in the road
but a temporary loss of control don't worry me
I got one way to go
and I'll get there or I won't, everything's eventual
I slide in the road
but my own distraction is all I think about
Only one way to go
Even though we live together I know, I'll die alone
I slide in the road
but a temporary loss of control don't worry me
Only one way to go
and I'll get there or I won't, everything's eventual
gonna steer me right
I slide in the road
