Name: Centralia
Duration: P00H03M46S
Description: Centralia was the street I grew up on in Redford, MI. After visiting my family in 2018 to announce that a baby Oyer was on the way, we found out that my first friend Anne was also pregnant at the same time. I wrote the lyrics a short time afterwards and decided to finish it for this album.

about

Centralia was the street I grew up on in Redford, MI. After visiting my family in 2018 to announce that a baby Oyer was on the way, we found out that my first friend Anne was also pregnant at the same time. I wrote the lyrics a short time afterwards and decided to finish it for this album.

lyrics

Climbing on the swing set
Hanging from our knees
Trying to stop the sunsets
Come and go just as we pleased

Nintendo in your basement
Trying to play your Dad's guitar
Did you ever think we'd make it?
Did ya think we'd go so far?

Mama Mia my Centralia
Well I won't ever fail ya
You're the first true friend this boy had ever known
And I promise you Centralia
Though life's no fairytale
Ya mean more to me than you will ever know

Waiting at the bus stop
Singing "So Sally can wait"
Ice cream hands and lollipops
Your memories are figure eights

Oreos and white tic-tacs
And the dog circles your house
What I wouldn't give to go back
But I'm so glad we made it out

Mama Mia my Centralia
Well I won't ever fail ya
You're the first true friend this boy had ever known
And I promise you Centralia
Though life's no fairytale
Ya mean more to me than you will ever know
