You're redecorating in June
But we’ll be out by mid July
Don’t get too sentimental
It happens all the time
It happens all the time
It's just a midsummer goodbye
Pack up all your secrets
We'll store them in your parents basement along with all the arguments we had in this house
But we'll hold on to our favorite moments
We'll drive til we stop feeling guilty
For all the friends we've left behind We'll stop at thrift stores and buy all their used cds
Even ones that we don't like
We'll move into a new apartment
Where there's nothing on the walls
We'll feel like giants we’re so cramped, yet so small at the same time
We'll go down to our new favorite bar
The mayor’s there he’s playing cards
While you're asleep I grab a paintbrush
Paint a landscape cross each window pane
So you might wake up in Alaska or New Mexico
But you won't wake up alone
Is it too late to bring up that
I'm not sure that we've ever met
You're thinking of someone else who looks like me but better
And I'm just glad to have a friend
I'm just glad to have a friend
But you’re always
You’re always
Redecorating in June
But we’ll be out by mid July
Don’t get too sentimental
It happens all the time
It happens all the time
It happens all the time
It's just a midsummer goodbye

The sun is punishment enough for stepping out
The lines are blurred until you find yourself in
Someone else’s path
And get knocked out
It hurts to find yourself alone in such a crowded city
Cardboard buildings aren't so heavy
But they're awkward to carry
And the people are animals
With scary masks
And someone, else’s, heart
In someone else's lines
In someone else's private conversations
I don't think I
Will survive
One more conversation about
How’s everybody feeling
And I don't think it will be fine
But I won't be the first to say it
Cause I'm easy
I'm breezy baby
The new neighbors came with some peculiar habits
They talk in circles and walk backwards
They're not programmed to keep you wondering
Much of anything
But I shouldn't complain cause they're nice enough
And you can always visit me
On my private island
There's a staircase to the sun
Stroll through the gardens down the museum
They’ve got one of everything and everyone
I don't think I will go back
Home is where you find something
But an island is an island
And I don’t think it will be fine
It’s not like I know anything
I'm just saying
That you don’t either
So go easy
Go easy
Go easy
(In someone else's life)
Go easy
(Wasting someone else's time)

Pacing San Jose, California
Pacing is the songwriting and recording project of Katie McTigue. McTigue’s writing style has been described as “tongue firmly planted in cheek” (Surviving the Golden Age, 2022), an “off-kilter and wonderfully weird world” (CLOUT, 2022), and “I don’t get it” (multiple sources). Despite her safety net of colorful characters, jokes, and metaphors, the real her always manages to slip in somewhere. ... more

Feels like a conversation you have with yourself in your head, and also kinda like one you have with your best friend on the phone

Houses is maybe my favorite song of all time, but I had to pick this album because every song goes hard. Her voice is one of my favorites
