Originally from *to Keep Us Close* EP, Fall 2016.

My brother Greg calls this "The Brother Song"; Megan Cronin always calls it "The Friend Song"

When I have gotten a chance to do a solo song in a rock set over the years, across the bands...this is often the one that I choose.

The lyrics are about the difficulty of staying in touch (or close communication) with the people we love.

Sometimes, I can’t pick up the phone
You’re on my mind
But I feel alone
I know you’d understand
I know you’d listen in
You are my oldest friend
But I don’t call in

Burdens left to contemplate
I know that you'd would share my weight
But I never ask you to
Something I’m afraid to do
The heart can turn a thousand times
The string is taut, the height is high
The fall would surely end it all
But the time is ripe for us to try

Soul, collisions, and signs do me very well

You and I, and both our lives
intertwined and close defined
Future, past, and present tense
can pass between us with a glance

The heart can turn a thousand times
The string is taut, the height is high
Future, past, and present tense
can pass between us with a glance

Soul, collisions, and signs do me very well
