about

Recorded in Kathi & Pete Sclafani's basement
Andrew sent me this demo on August 23, 2013, I remember listening to it for the first time when I was in the hospital with my wife, Chelsea. Our daughter Quinn was born in the middle of the night (8/24).

The song is based on a short 8-page comic I wrote - Drawn by the very talented Sean Von Gorman @VonGormanArt. I've included a free download of the comic here so you can all finally get the whole story

I've sat on this story for years waiting for "the right time" to release it. In a lot of ways, this being one of them, I am very much so the main character in this story.
Learn from my mistakes - DON'T BE AFRAID TO GO OUT AND LIVE YOUR LIFE!

Love,
Michael

lyrics

Once I met an older version of myself
I asked him, "What should I do?"
How could I be him?
Then I disappeared, and now I'm freaking out
I don't know what to do with myself

I thought I should not leave I might come back
then I figured, well I'll know just where I am
because I lived it once and I'll know what to do
oh man I'm freaking out
lost myself
I don't know what to do with myself

But if I want to be you
then all I have to do
is wait until the time comes true
I'll take all my leads from me
then surely they will see
the time it takes is all I need

if I thought in 20 years I might come back
I would have thought of all the questions I would ask
you'd think I'd leave a clue
there's too damn much to do
go on enjoy the view
don't freak out
the world depends on you
don't freak out

But if I want to be you
then all I have to do
is wait until the time comes true
I'll take all my leads from me
then surely they will see
the time it takes is all I need

tick tock I've lost track of time
watch winds while I lose my mind
science fiction is getting the better of me
but I'm not blind

I still exist and that's a good sign
the past is gone and we're right on time
but how can I transcend what I can't understand
I know I was there
now it's part of the plan
I hold all of the world in the palm of my hand

...maybe I'm not real


But if I want to be you
then all I have to do
is wait until the time comes true
I'll take all my leads from me
then surely they will see
the time it takes is all I need

you'd think I'd leave a clue
there's too damn much to do
go on enjoy the view
don't freak out
the world depends on you
don't freak out


I don't know the way to yesterday
