she made it hard to breath made it hard to sleep hard to change my mind I didn't know I was scared didn't know I could care about someone else I cut my hair and I do not care what you think You'd never been the same not sure who's to blame did it hurt that bad? I didn't feel the pain I guess it didn't hurt did I love you back? I cut my hair and I do not care what you think I wish I could tell you now it'll be ok you'll make it out just fine

Bryce Canyon 02:25
I have a rock to remind me of the day I walked through your lungs. It was July and it was cold but I felt warm in your sunshine didn't know that I could love you I needed time time to get away. When I learned that i could love you couldn't get you out of my brain. On our first morning I saw the sun rise Saw perfection for the first time Wish I had told you I love your eyes Can't pretend I don't think about you late at night We laid on our backs for a while just trying to get this right I wanna remember your smile and the way you clear my mind didn't know that I could love you I needed time time to get away. When I learned that i could love you couldn't get you out of my brain.

Zion 03:57
I was in the desert when it rained and you were so far away that I couldn't predict the pain the water was brown and milky and I wasn't seeing clearly but I thought it would be ok we're all staring up at the same sky but the stars are shining brighter here tonight wish I could capture the light -instrumental- The rain stopped falling and I stopped crying and the pain washed away Then came the sunshine and washed the tears from my eyes and I was ready to stay we're all staring up at the same sky but the stars are shining brighter here tonight -instrumental- we're all staring up at the same sky but the stars are shining brighter here tonight wish I could capture the light

Came up from the ground guardian of the canyon They were the only ones to stay and protect their sacred land We only stayed the night left to keep her warm Came to push them out forced them from their land we stole their home I never thought this would be the end We've got so much to learn why won't you let them teach us Thought we could make it up if we returned what we stole we couldn't see that the damage was done can you say goodbye to someone you never knew We've got so much to learn why won't you let them teach us the last thing she said was it will be ok

Mammoth Cave 02:17
I'm not sure I feel anything at all I don't know how to be myself it's cold down here and I'm all alone Are you sacred you can't climb out limestone labyrinth buried deep underground I don't know how to be alone There's no one here but my echo Just wanna feel safe again I feel empty on the inside Can't see even when I open my eyes there full of tears but no one knows Are you sacred you can't climb out limestone labyrinth buried deep underground and I'm losing myself again When the walls cave in what happens next when I'm stuck down here and it's all a mess will you grab my hand and pull me out so I can feel at home again

These hills are growing old you don't know my middle name Did you think this was gonna work? You cant get rid of my pain But the road is long up ahead and I promise you you'll love again All these rolling hill are full of hope His heart is not the same You wont guess his middle name. I feel safe in his arms It's hard to be apart But the road is long up ahead and I promise you you'll love again All these rolling hill are full of hope

about

A Time to Get Away is a collection of songs written across my last two years of high school. These songs draw inspiration from the national parks I have visited, and attempt to gesture at the awe I feel for both music and The National Parks.

Thank you to everyone who has been with me throughout this project, namely Joe Jankowski, Ben Kolk, The Accidentals, all my teachers and many more. Your support has been immensely impactful to me on this journey.
