about

Written by Jeremy & Lynne, the basic chords for the song took shape after the lyrics and is about chasing down your dream uno matter how elusive it seems to be, and never giving up no matter how difficult it is, or even how many times you mess up. Sometimes when your in the worst possible position, thats when you have to keep going... sometimes at all costs... (J&L)

lyrics

I DON’T INTEND ON WAVING GOODBYE
TO THESE HARD FOUGHT DREAMS I’VE LOCKED AWAY DEEP INSIDE
MY LIFE, IS LIVED THROUGH MY EYES ALONE
MY BURDEN, MY WEIGHT AND MY HEAVY STONE

I DON’T CARE FOR RUNNING AWAY
IT’S WITH A HEAVY HEART I RELUCTANTLY STAYED
BACK TO THE WALL I’VE BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD BEFORE
LETS KEEP THE WORLD OUT , LETS BAR THE DOOR

OH I WAIT TO BE RESCUED , OR FOR SOMEONE TO SET ME FREE
OH I WAIT FOR MY SIREN, LIKE A SAILOR LOST AT SEA
BEHIND THIS SET OF BARS, SOMEONES WORDS CREATED FOR ME
I WAIT PATIENTLY FOR MY SIREN, LIKE A SAILOR LOST AT SEA

I DON’T KNOW WHAT I AM DOING ANYMORE
I’VE LET THE WIND PULL MY BOAT TOO DAMN FAR FROM SHORE
MY FEET CAN’T FIND NO SOLID GROUND
THE FOUNDATIONS GONE AND THE WALLS HAVE CRUMBLED DOWN

SO DON’T THROW ME ANOTHER ROPE
MINES ALREADY TIED LIKE A NOOSE AROUND MY THROAT
ONLY ONE WAY IN NOW THERES ONLY ONE WAY OUT
SET THE SHIP ON FIRE AND BURN AWAY THE DOUBT

SO GRAB THE COAL AND THROW THE ANGER OUT
FINALLY FIND OUT WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT
KEEP MOVING JUST TRY TO GET FREE
THERES GOT TO BE SOMETHING LEFGT IN HERE … … TO BELIEVE

OH I WAIT TO BE RESCUED , OR FOR SOMEONE TO SET ME FREE
OH I WAIT FOR MY SIREN, LIKE A SAILOR LOST AT SEA
BEHIND THIS SET OF BARS, SOMEONES WORDS CREATED FOR ME
I WAIT PATIENTLY FOR MY SIREN, LIKE A SAILOR LOST AT SEA
OH I WAIT PATIENTLY FOR MY SIREN, LIKE A SAILOR LOST AT SEA

about

The Typical Johnsons Ohio

Long - time friends Jeremy and Lynne began practicing and writing music in 2012 and at the time, neither of them had been playing for more than a year. Knowing only that the lyrics that they were writing could be drawn directly from their lives, they learned on the go preferring to gain experince by playing live shows. Described by listeners as a Folk/ Americana / Roots Rock hybrid. ... more
