about

This is actually a really cool rock song. I hear it all in my head but can't get it out in finite time so this is as far as we get for now. (But they're all unfinished, really!)

Written c.2004 on a beach in Del Mar, recorded a few years later.

lyrics

Put It Down - Gwade
===============
She's not coming back this way
Back to Southern California
What's done is done
Time to move on with movin' on

This time around
I'll stand up before I'm finished falling down
This time around
I won't pick it up if I can't put it down
Put it down
Put it down

Nothing hurts and nothing wears away
In Southern California
No boundary lies
Between what's real and surreal

This time around
I'll prune the vine before the fruit starts turning brown
This time around
I won't pick it up if I can't put it down
Put it down
Put it down

How could anyone see the darkness
when surrounded by the sun?

I'm never goin' back that way
Back from Southern California
I said all I had to say
And what's left I'll scream at the waves

This time around
I'll stand up before I'm finished falling down
This time around
I won't pick it up if I can't put it down
Put it down
Put it down
