about

I wrote this song around 1 AM on New Years Day on our roommate Crystal's banjo. I had been home from tour for about 5 days. Bob Dylan wrote the line “Blood on the Tracks.” I tend to bleed on most instruments I play, and yes I am addicted to my phone.. but I'm trying not to text and drive.

lyrics

Chorus: New Years Day and there's blood on the banjo
there's blood on the banjo and blood on the tracks

Well I'm feeling disconnected and I've probably just neglected too many things to ever fully know

Chorus: New Years Day and there's blood on the banjo
there's blood on the banjo and blood on the tracks

See for six months we’ve been living on the road
and I know I didn’t call you even though I am addicted to my phone

Chorus: New Years Day and there's blood on the banjo
there's blood on the banjo and blood on the tracks

so now it's time for awkward conversations for seeing friends I never get to see
and now it's time for awkward situations I wish you knew how much you mean to me

Chorus: New Years Day and there's blood on the banjo
there's blood on the banjo and blood on the tracks
