Boxen - Same Old Dream 03:47
lyrics
I'm sick and tired of the same old dream it seems everybody wanna be up on a big screen, wanna be seen, and be green, confidence is a thing that you need. Cover your ear to the poser cry, catch my ear and you will catch my eye I wanna find rest, and be blessed, capitalize on the only thing that we have left. Love me, everyone please. Love me, I please everyone. She waits for me, a little while on her own She waits forever and I won't let it die Hide for a while in the bright stage lights, lazy days and hazy nights I wanna live fast, and get cash, fill up my pockets cause it's never gonna last man. No, it's never gonna last man She waits for me, a little while on her own She waits forever and I won't let it die I'm sick and tired of the same old shit, it's like everybody gets what everyone's gonna get, you can't change it She waits for me, a little while on her own She waits forever and I won't let it die

I heard the wind was blowin' in, I've got a foreign place in mind, and I would take you with me, and I would leave this world behind So don't you waste your time now, Chasing things that lead you nowhere Cause if you need somebody, There is love almost everywhere We're not too old for this my love, We're not too old just yet My mind was out, comes in, crushes I know now, what I must do yeah I can feel the struggle, It's washing over you and me, You wanna meet everybody, I wanna feel everything So I will fill my days now, Turn my life into a song, You gotta love just a little, You gotta try to get along We're not too old for this my love, We're not too old just yet My mind was out, comes in, crushes I know now, what I gotta do yeah We're not too old for this my love, We're not too old just yet My my, she was out, comes in, and blushes I know now, what I gotta do

I wonder what's coming next, You know six feet down that's a common depth, Do we sit there forever, or do we leave the ground? Do we leave the ground, or no?

about

The songs on Boxen's debut release 'Young Soul, Old Soul' hearken back to feel-good alt country influences to make each one sound fresh yet familiar at the same time, perfectly capturing all the pangs and possibilities of the tumultuous twenty-somethings. Inspired by 90's staples like Third Eye Blind and The Wallflowers, as well as indie rock from Brand New and The Format, they effortlessly nod to these influences while evoking something that is all their own. Boxen is the soundtrack to nights at your favorite bar, sharing a beer with your best friends and feeling so alive it hurts. Songwriter Tyler Cox has a voice that's raw with feeling, and pours out songs like journal entries such as, 'I can feel the struggle/ It's washing over you and me/ You wanna meet everybody/ I wanna feel everything', making you wonder if he's writing about his life or yours.
