about

This was the first full song we wrote as The Ground Is Lava. It was written sometime in October, 2009.

The lines in this song are thoughts I'd typed into the notepad on my phone. They're pretty self-explanatory. One time, I toyed with the idea of hanging a map of Ohio in my room and drawing a heart around Brunswick. One time, Jon and I wrote "HOLD ME" on the palms of our hands at a Waffle House.

The last line is about how I want to be able to call up my ex-girlfriend, tell her I don't hate her and that I want to be friends again, but the other part of me hates that she broke my heart and didn't even feel bad about it, and I don't want to forgive her for that.

The "ba-bas" were influenced by the band Snowing. Jon told me he had been listening to a lot of Snowing lately, so I listened to them on the way home from work one day so I could get on his level for band practice later. Boom, this happened pretty naturally.

-Jordan

lyrics

Hey!

I drew a heart around my hometown on a map so I'd remember where I'm from and I could always find my way back.

I scribbled letters on the palms of both my hands
so you'd know just where to hold and I hope you know I mean that.

Babadadada...

I'm trying, trying to forgive her but I can't because she broke my little heart and I can't let her get away with that! No!

Babadadada...

Hey!
