From 'The Burden of Proof' - 2026

Lyrics

I'm so sorry, Blanket of M
We checked out your stuff and it seems like you're a pretty cool band
But our record label isn't real
If you're disappointed, I know just how you feel

You just wanna play guitar
Now here you are
You just wanna play the drums
But with it comes
Endless weeks on Instagram
Begging local support bands
And mailing your CDs
To useless schmucks like me

I'm so sorry, cousin Kate
I felt kinda bad when I got your save the date
Cause I knew that I'd be on the road
And I realize I don't come home that much

I just wanna play guitar
Now here you are
I didn't mean to be a dick
The memories stick
Of every moment that I miss
When my nieces are no longer kids
What will they think of me?
I guess we'll have to see

I'm so sorry, "Me as a Kid"
I told you I would never write a song about being in a band...then I did
Now we're playing it each night on tour
Acting like I've never told this story before
And I know I said if we quit we'll die
But honestly I think of it from time to time

I just wanna play guitar
I just wanna play guitar
I just wanna play guitar
I just wanna play guitar!
