Peaks and Valleys
written by Kendall Patrick and Paul Cimolini
If you want / I could be the one you wanna spend your day with
or not / cuz if you want to be alone then I’ll be waiting
I won't stop / cuz I’m always gonna find another reason
to love / even though the world is telling us to leave it
Chorus
Wherever you go.... I’ll go
I’ll go with you
Are you scared of forgetting how it felt when we were brand new?
Out there are a million pretty people to distract you
I don't care / cuz even when I go and take it all for granted
I’m aware that be it peak of valley it don't matter where we're standing
Chorus
Bridge
When it's easy / when it's hard
When we're stumbling in the dark
Where you go / I will go / I’ll go with you
Chorus

Falling Rain
written by Kendall Patrick
You remind me of falling rain / when i'm alone
I pretend I don't think about you
cuz i don't want to be taken seriously
no i don't want to be taken at all
I'd like to stay here in my little hole
dim and warm and alone
nobody nobody knock on my door and follow me
trying to make me move forward
Chorus
you remind me of falling rain
when i'm alone
i keep pretending that i am a rock
and as soon as i finally softened up
she came along and you were on top of her
rolling around on the floor
i forget what i came here for
Chorus
Instrumental
i'd like to go outside
it might make me happy it might make me cry
i think i'm in a little bit of a cage
i wanna move out and move on and move away
Chorus

Cannonball
written by Kendall Patrick
When you don’t have time / When you fall behind / When your screws unwind
I will love you blind
When you miss your folks / When you burn my toast / When you make bad jokes
I will love you the most
Chorus
Oh the night turns to day and the brightness fades to the black skies again and again
and throughout it all I continue to fall deeper and deeper into this sea
like a cannonball
When your Italian slips / When I’m distracted by your bottom lip
When the Nicorette makes you sick / I’ll love you in all of it
When you wanna be strong / When you’ve already waited for so long
When you wanna carry your friends along / I’ll love you on and on and on and on
Chorus
Instrumental

Grocery Store Parking Lot
it hit me in a grocery store parking lot
i was about to grab some kale and an avacado with some money that i borrowed without asking
and i got the bright idea to post that picture from today
the one she took at lunch to celebrate and grieve the fact that you're going away
and it came on like a flashflood
i had no napkins or tissues to blow my nose but the important thing is, im sober enough to miss my friend when she goes.
but on the bright side, your leaving reminds me of when i was there
sitting under some big black sky smoking a cigarette and thinking, if i could do anything, go anywhere, chase any dream
well first id quit these things that are hurting me
and thats when i did what youre doing now
i jumped off that cliff, i let go of my ground.
i did the freefall. i trusted like my life depended on it that i could achieve whatever i wanted
and every few years i do it all over again.
and that's how i met you friend
so more than sad, i'm happy to say, go on your way, wide eyed wild child
i'll see you again someday.

Breaking Ground
written by Kendall Patrick
All verses referring to Brett Dennen, Chorus illuminating the authentic break up that I had. The last time I had a break up, it was a horrible mess that rippled out and had lasting effects on many people. This time we mutually broke up, and amicably lived together for months afterwards. No infidelity. No mess. And for me, facing every feeling head on like a BOSS.
Sing me all your songs / I need to know who you are
Bring me all your light / If only I could live in your heart
When I found you I changed / I rearranged the whole shebang
Oh it hurts so much to care / it hurts to let you go
Grieving in the open air / Need help to know I’m whole
Don’t wanna shut down in fear / Let’s do this thing real and sincere
Gotta feel it all to be free
Park bench in the city that I know
Transport me to San Francisco
When…
Oh…
It’s just something in the way that your voice sounds / I feel found
I will follow it all the way down the coast / Breaking Ground
I wanna be free like you
Dancing in your barefeet / I’ll be there soon

All Those Years
written by Kendall Patrick and Paul Cimolini
I heard you were sober / I heard you were alright
You know I never got over you and now it's got me up at night
Thinking.. What if I called you? / What would it be like?
Would you know it was me from the voice on the other end of the line?
Chorus
Maybe we'll wake up / Maybe we'll wake up one more time by the fire
Maybe we'll stay up late / Talking bout all those years as cheaters and liars
We can't go back, I know / But maybe we'll wake up
and discover each other's arms still feel like home
Ten years flew by / and I had a baby
I even got married / but it didn't work out
And I was afraid / afraid that you'd hate me
but I’m ready to take my chances now / and maybe
Chorus
Bridge
Home is where I miss you most
Sitting on the couch and dreaming of a life I could start
I see you there / even though it's been so long
You have never left my...never left my heart

i write, because there's something in the explaining that makes it all ok
Kendall Patrick recommends:
Go To Hell, Chris Thompson
by Ah, Venice
I got to do a schwack of live shows with Ah, Venice and at the time we were playing a lot of these songs. Aside from the nostalgia, Chris is one of the most talented songwriters I've ever encountered,
go to album
1st time I heard Max's voice coming thru the PA my jaw dropped. About time I heard some writing as raw and accurate as this. A brain is a battleground and some people just know how to write about it
go to album
Matt Chesterfield is out of left field. One time when I barely knew him, I asked him why he always sung with an english accent. "I don't". I've never met anyone who writes like him, or is like him. <3
