about

Written in 2014.

This track is about overcoming inhibitions and mental blocks, finding something that seems too good to be true and letting go of those inhibitions to try and pursue it.

lyrics

Want to express what I should not say
The words will simply get me carried away
And I would love to play
Up and down I swore that I would never let me feel this way
Way, way, way, way better than I should
Untethering my heart could never be this good
Hoping that I haven't misunderstood
But just in case, I better knock on wood

How much more time 'til I'm sober?
Maybe it's real after all
Why did I want to jump over?
How much further do I have to fall?
I find a four leaf clover
Maybe it's real after all, oh

Is risk the only thing that makes me feel? Whoa
Unwrapping bandages because I'm head over heel
Never had considered purple with teal
It's coming out of nowhere, but the moment is real
The here and the now are what I have to hold
The past defined us, but the definition is old
If the future were known and the future were told
Only without precognition could an action be bold

Risk yourself upon intention
Risk yourself not knowing
This, the perfect catalyst for
Understanding, learning, growing
Moving in the direction of a fuller wiser love
We must cultivate affection for the purposes above

Get out of my own way, whoa
Get out of my own way, whoa
(Get out of my own way)
(Get out of my own way)
(Get out of my own way)

How much more time 'til I'm sober?
Maybe it's real after all
Why did I want to jump over?
How much further do I have to fall?
I find a four leaf clover
Maybe it's real after all
Never want this to be over
Falling, I might as well fall

Get out of my own way, whoa
(Get out of my own way)
Get out of my own way, whoa
(Get out of my own way)
(Get out of my own way)
Get out of my own way, oh
(Get out of my own way)

about

Austin R. Scott Seattle, Washington

I grew up in a small town near Carson City, NV. At age 15, I was introduced to Irish session music which became my favorite activity. When I began struggling with depression, songwriting proved itself a valuable outlet. Over the years I've honed the craft, learning how to record, edit, mix and master tracks to professional standards. I'm in the process of building a career on these skills. ... more
