Gonna send my brain on a brain vacation Gonna send it on a plane to a peaceful destination And when it comes home (When it comes home) I’m gonna tell it all the things that I missed about it (I’ll tell you everything) When it comes home (When it comes home) Gonna send my brain on a brain vacation Gonna send it on a plane to a peaceful destination When it’s burnin’ in my cranium, I get the sensation Gotta send it on a plane to a distant location And when it comes home (When it comes home) I’m gonna tell it all the things that I missed about it (I’ll tell you everything) When it comes home (When it comes home) If it ever comes home (If it ever comes home) I’m gonna tell it all the things that I missed about it (I’ll tell you everything) When it comes home (When it comes home)

Left Behind 05:57
Heading out for another trip Next time around nothing’s As big as it ever once was I guess I took it for granted then Not quite as monumental When I see you eye to eye So Well I can do anything with that love I left behind I wish I’d done anything that time And I could do anything with the love I left behind So can’t I do anything this time? As I walk around familiar rooms My body wanders as you come looming Towards my mind And in a dream, it seems You still got your seat next to mine On the fast, approaching line Though at times I lose my sight I’ve never seen better If she’s gone I gotta get her Or I’ll go blind So baby won’t you turn my way Get off the highway Don’t you think you left something behind? Ok And I can do anything with the love I left behind I wish I’d done anything that time And we could do anything with the love we left behind So can’t we do anything this time? Maybe someday we’ll find a home where we feel like we belong ‘Till then I hope you get along just fine I’m never scared of the open road winding down my mind I’m scared of finding you and leaving you behind I know you’re the answer My feelings can’t come down I’m holding the weight now Afraid I will fall down I don’t get an answer I say, “See you later” I can’t grip the wheel While wiping the tears

Running Dry 04:06
When love runs dry When love runs dry I know where I’ll be I know where I’ll be In my life My love runs dry I know where I’ll be I know where I’ll be I don’t want to die ‘Cause a simple song keeps me alive When I go to sleep It’s a sound that gets me on my feet I’ll never run dry No I’ll never, I’ll never, I’ll never, I’ll never I’ll never run dry No I’m never, I’m never, I’m never running dry I might lose sight But I know where I’ll be I know where I’ll be So are you lost? Or are you free? Listen to me You’ll know where to be You don’t want to die ‘Cause a simple song keeps you alive When you go to sleep It’s a sound that gets you on your feet You’ll never run dry No you’ll never, you’ll never, you’ll never, you’ll never we’ll never run dry No we’re never, we’re never, we’re never running dry

Love comes so quick Was it you who found it first As you grow, the music stays You can’t forget the songs they played Through the haze, you’ll find your way Back to the sounds you once embraced I’m gonna stick With you on every turn Songs go in and out your ear But you know me: I’m staying here Because I’m right behind you When you’re dreaming, I’m there too Look inside I need your light I need you to find The heart in your mind C’mon kid, I’m your one way ticket To a mind that knows how you can kick it I’ll show you show you show you how to do that trick Like hawaii five-o or karate flicks But for know I’m still lost I’m still lost I’m still lost I’m still lost Help me I’m lost I’m still lost I think I’m lost I think I’m lost yea I’m still lost in your mind I am lost in your mind I am lost in your mind I am lost in your mind and I’m tryin’ to find

about

Staples is BaLonely’s second full-length album. It’s the first the band has recorded with multi-instrumentalists Alex and Adam Smith. Many of the songs were written between Norman and Alex when they lived together in 2017. The album shows respect to the music that lingers in one’s life, while attempting to be a staple itself.
