First single off of Houseguest, the 8 track album coming your way in a week, maybe less.

lyrics

If I die in bed before I wake tomorrow morning
I have lived a life unparalleled
Sweeping out the ashes from my latest fireburning
And it breaks my heart, I don't know when
I lost a friend again
I lost a friend

I was in a dream where I was riding
Somebody's bicycle
I don't know which something did remind me
Maybe a book I read

I saw a man, he spoke to me
He's used my name before
I recognized the one he said from a past life
It wasn't my name anymore

I saw lightning bugs in New York City
In a night alone
They turned me to first avenue
They lit up the long train home
Lit up the long train home
