i like the way my tears mix with the rain they take away the dirt from yesterday i follow thoughts that crumble into grains clogging up my memory drifting past excuses so i say... right people at the wrong time (my tears mix with the rain) cold kisses on a fault line (the dirt from yesterday) got the foundation for a woke mind (it crumbles into grains) found patience in my old signs i miss my girl, i miss my friends i don't know which, just one of them seasons changing, make amends things were always simpler then it doesn't last no matter when things were easy in the past right people at the wrong time (i miss my girl, i miss my friends) cold kisses on a fault line (no matter which, just one of them) foundations keeping me fine (changing seasons, make amends) got to right wrongs in my mind i miss my girl, i miss my friends no matter which, just one of them i miss my girl, i miss my friends all these things i'd do again all these things i'd do again all these things i'd do again

(sit, sit) sittin' here waiting for you to call me out i don't know what to say or what to do sittin' here waiting for you to scream and shout but we're not emotional or blue watching waiting sleeping dreaming waitin' for a message today waitin' for a message today (yiew) i'll be waitin' for a message today waitin' for a message today (lie, lie) lying here falling for you swept up in doubt i don't know what to say or what to do lying here floating, believing i'm left out anxious and running for the truth watching waiting sleeping dreaming why don't we just say "i don't wanna talk" and that could be okay? i could send a message today you could send a message today i could send a message today or i could just go away (yiew) waiting for a message today waiting for a message today waiting for a message today waiting for a message today (yiew) waiting for a message today waiting for a message today-ah

star struck 03:20
i've been told my libran tendencies let romance get the best of me blinded faith in what i see magnify each fleeting glimpse of love star struck smitten by a tune dispositions i desire projected on to you star struck dream and drift away feels like you're my truest friend but i met you yesterday i've been holding on to every dream hoping they'll enlighten me is it waste to think so blissfully? clouding and polluting twisting and diluting how i touch star struck dream and drift away feels like you're my truest friend but i met you yesterday star struck dozing through the day flinching at tomorrow sun but down when it's away ~solo~ set my sights as far as i can see drifting past the meaning of it all pointed at the sky for one whom i would fall hoping that the rain will catch me star struck never as it seems drifting to the other side or floating in between

stuck in cycles what it means to be diving to the other side or floating in between holding on to dreams patching all the seams floating in between never as it seems stuck in cycles what it means to be diving to the other side or floating in between holding on to dreams patching all the seams floating in between never as it seems stuck in cycles what it means to be diving to the other side or floating in between floating in between floating in between floating in between

wasting time 03:45
come back to me (dream and drift away) take my heart up off my sleeve (waiting for today) like the leaves beneath the tree (drowning in the dew) i'm falling but i'm free (that's what i'm told is true) the fairytale of freedom floats in place wasting time, wasting space waste my soul with every pace run for the anxious haste in my mind the only thing i seem to love is wasting time come back and see (you only know my name) pull the thread until it bleeds ( i weaved it yesterday) thinking free ('bout what it means to be) holding me (to claims that i believe) the murky mirror memory must be mine wasting time, wasting space waste my soul with every pace run for the anxious haste make it mine it seems the only thing i love is wasting time ~solo~ wasting time, wasting space chase my heart with every face think sparse and out of place that's just fine it seems the only thing i love is wasting time

about

“Hopeless Romantic” is the first EP from Melbourne bedroom rock artist Honest Dan, and it details his musings on dating and relationships in the modern digital age. Covering themes such as nested-nostalgia, uncertain rebounds, anticipatory anxiety, ghosting, and the sheer overwhelming number of conversations one can be having simultaneously to name a few; Dan’s critiques are as much an indictment of himself as they are of others - we’re all broken in some way and it’s important to reflect on that. Musically the EP hits these emotions in a very raw way; seamlessly segueing from disco grooves to ethereal ambient passages and some good old fashioned drum-driven psych rock beats.

This download includes a continuous mix of all 5 tracks for those who wish to experience it as such.
