One way or another, it’s gonna make its presence known
From one monkey to another, you can’t lose what you don’t own
It’s ok if you get anxious, just please don’t call the cops
There’s a couple things I’m sure of and a whole lot more I’m not
There’s a sentimental value to the memory of love
It’s a pretty looking rainbow, what does it remind you of
Is it somewhere there’s a heart of gold that’s never gonna rust
Or it’s a hard rain honey but it’s never gonna flood
Despite all my reservations, I’ve been doing this for years
Hoping that some magic touch would finally make it clear
But when it all comes crashing down, I’m still standing here
Looking at the same face, in the same place, just a different kind of mirror
Nothing lasts forever and every other trope
I guess it just depends on how much DMT you smoked
But when I think of Robin Williams at the end of his rope
It makes no difference what you’re making, the reaper makes the final joke
So I gather my impressions of the universal sigh
And hope that someone’s listening to their radio tonight
Though it doesn’t really matter with so many come before
And who the hell are we fooling, no one buys records any more

Lover (Acoustic)

I don’t need no lover
I need a mother to come to my room
I don’t need no father
I need an ocean to carry my mood
i need your love
I don’t need no one else around
i need your love
i need to get the hell out of this town
I don’t need no lover
But I sure like keeping you around
I don’t need no lover
I’ll try not to let you down
I don’t doubt it
I got a feeling
I’ll keep seeing you around
I don’t need no lover
But I sure like keeping you around
I don’t need no lover
I’ll try not to let you down
I don’t need no lover
But I sure like keeping you around
I don’t need no lover
I’ll try not to let you down

Lose You (Acoustic)

Lose You
She was ghosting on a high note
Like a halo from a gun
She disappeared in smoke
In the last light of the sun
I was burning my eyelids
Trying to stare into the blaze
Trying to see around the edges
But the light got in my way
I’m desperate for a message
Calling out your name
I’m sending up a raven and a dove
Trying to quell the panic
Rising in my chest
Like a mother at a missing person’s desk
‘Cause I don’t wanna give you up
I don’t wanna lose you now
Now that we’re falling
I wanna follow you down
If you’ve got something to say
Say it now
I’m dying to hear you
I don’t wanna give you up
I don’t wanna lose you now
I found your letter
The first one of your name
In the bedroom window
Where your fingerprints remain
They were saying come find me
You know where I am
So I hop a plane to Paris
Each night when I’m dreaming
Think about you every day
Wonder how you’ve been
Wonder what you’re doing now
Red wine on canvas
The color of your hair
Maybe we can make it somehow
‘Cause I don’t wanna give you up
I don’t wanna lose you now
Now that we’re falling
I wanna follow you down
If you’ve got something to say
Say it now
I’m dying to hear you
I don’t wanna give you up
I don’t wanna lose you now

So What (Acoustic)

So What
No one said it would be easy
No one said it would be this hard
I thought I’d get it right after the first few tries
But I just keep coming back to the start
There is a lesson in motion
Gripping the wheel as you steer
You gotta look through the turn as you’re starting to swerve
‘Cause nothing burns faster than fear
So slow down
And look up
Stop acting so tough
Say I love you
Way too much
And if it kills you
So what
Thousands of tiny explosions
Are keeping this thing on its wheels
But it’s a limited metaphor
You gotta give it a minute or you will never properly heal
Someone’s deciding my future
Someone decided my past
Somebody said man it’s all in your head
You’re the only one that’s making this last
So slow down
And look up
Stop acting so tough
Say I love you
Way too much
And if it kills you
So what
So slow down
And look up
Stop acting so tough
Say I love you
Way too much
And if it kills you

Little Cup (Acoustic)
02:24
|

|
Little cup
Sugar baby spoon
Staying up
With a werewolf and the moon
Hanging’ tough
Just please don’t ask me where I’ve been
Playing rough
Fragile little bones
Staying up
In the smell of your new home
Where you come
And unravel like the fabric of our song
Say you won’t ever leave, ever go, always stay
Through the changes the heart stays the same
Same as it’s always been
What can I say?
I melt upon the altar of your grace
My mouth is pretty desperate for a shape
So I can say
That I remain
Forever yours

Kamikaze (Acoustic)
04:21

|
Wait
She said I can’t wait
For your payday
For your love
Wait
More problems
Now I’ve got ‘em
And I’m so fucked
A scarecrow
Hanging from a wire
Silver and gold caught fire
Pump me full of drugs
‘Cause now you’re
Asking for an anchor
A suicidal savior
A kamikaze love
Send me
A dirty picture
And say it’s over
One more time
You are
Above all others
Under covers
My favorite one
A scarecrow
Hanging from a wire
Silver and gold caught fire
Pump me full of drugs
‘Cause now you’re
Asking for an anchor
A suicidal savior
A kamikaze love
Now you’re
Asking for an anchor
A suicidal savior
A kamikaze

Yellow (Acoustic)

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah they were all yellow
I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called "Yellow"
So then I took my turn
Oh what a thing to have done
And it was all yellow
Your skin
Oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
You know, you know I love you so
You know I love you so
I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do
'Cause you were all yellow
I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow
Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
And you know
For you I'd bleed myself dry
For you I'd bleed myself dry
It's true
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine
Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do

Noah Gundersen Washington
For a musician just a few years shy of 30, Noah Gundersen displays a remarkable sense of self-awareness. He’s not really an “old soul,” so to speak—but someone who conveys a keen sort of cognizance of himself in the way one does when the act of questioning belief, of questioning the world around him, has been ingrained from childhood ... more
