about

"The Fireside Bowl" is my favorite song I have written so far. This is the song that inspired me to write the album the way it is and what has been the damage to my personal relationship with ex. I feared writing this and using it as an actual song because it's a spill all guts kind of song and it revealed what is going on in my life. I was in a relationship for a long time that became seriously toxic and a friend of mine brought a girl she knew to our show at The Fireside Bowl. In a creepy sense to all this, I lost it inside when I laid eyes on her. I ended up talking to her a lot and forgot about what I already had. Thus, leading to the demise of the relationship I had.

lyrics

I walked off with you to share a drink with another guy and a girl
And I couldn't help but think, I think you're looking at me too
I know it may seem farfetched but maybe you'll like my band
We should hang after the show, hang with my drummer and my girlfriend

Let's look at me
Like Mike Ness said, "What's a punk boy supposed to do?"
Let's look at you
A party girl, you'll make me miss every string I strum
I know that it may seem farfetched but maybe you'll like my band
We should hang after the show, hang with my drummer and my girl

Every song that night was about you
I don't even know you but I felt like I did
Every look in your eyes you noticed
I made a mistake and I know that I did

I am sick, I'm a freak, I'm a creep
And I am also selfish with these dreams in my bed
I am weird, I am weak, I can't sleep
Why did you have to come to The Fireside Bowl

Every song that night was about you
I don't even know you but I felt like I did
Every look in your eyes you noticed
I made a mistake and I know that I did

Every song that night was about you
I don't even know you but I felt like I did
Every look in your eyes you noticed
I made a mistake and I know that I did
