"square one"
music & lyrics by jay brannan
does anybody here have a soul?
put the thermostat on overdrive, the air is bitter cold
everywhere i look is nip & tuck
and every song they play in here is vapid as fuck
well i don't give a shit about the weekend
i don't wanna hear about your car or what you're drinkin'
don't know what to make of all of it
the same people claiming it gets better treat everyone like shit, and
[chorus:]
everyone sings about leaving, breaking off
but where the hell do they run?
here we were receiving, giving, making love
when some something came undone
sticking me back at square one
pigs & asses used to lived on farms
friendly skies weren't always overrun by airborne infants in arms
life's a beach, and should you swim astray
you'll fade to grey some castaway, there's no lifeguard service today
falling for the foolish can be tough
but everything is possible when you hate yourself enough
not my proudest moment, but the one i've got
it's a little painful being so much less cool than you by a lot, and
[chorus]
i just met you yesterday, and i'm already imagining the break-up
a little lovemaking and a 2nd latte is enough to keep me charging towards the shakeup
you're fucking out of my league, when will i learn it?
could sell the devil my soul, and he'd return it
[chorus]

There are some days when I look at my life and I think "there must be some kind of mistake, I didn't want this. I didn't want any of this." On those days I think about moving back to the country, away from this cold city and my string of the-wrong-guy-who-says-the-right-thing experiences. I think about going back to peace and quiet, accepting single life completely, getting a dog and an easy job and just focusing on writing my novels. I think about how nothing I'm doing holds any value to me, how the cost of living outweighs the larger pay packet, how people are so far away here. I miss feeling like I had a home... I listen to your music all day on days like that. On days like today. Thank you.

[@shannonmurdock7627]

"I just met you yesterday, and I'm already imagining the break up." Great lyric!

[@DentalTech1000]

Another downer song from Jay Brannan. Who needs that? Can't you be happy just once?

[@lillyc7865]

I've loved your music for over 5 years now. Never stop. Your music is so real. Portrays what real life is. And we all appreciate it very much.

[@bubblegumtechno]

I would love to know who the actors in this video are. Some look familiar.

[@hesticahyayustika7680]

Jay can you please cover ani difranco's untouchable face

[@jackfkntwist7716]

I would like to see you play in Dingle, County Kerry, Ireland, Jay....not the bright lights of LA; but calm for the soul.....and maybe some inspiration. If Amy Winehouse came and played in the intimate setting of St. James' , you could too. I love this song

[@TheodoreVamos]

Pigs and asses used to live on farms Friendly skies weren't always over And buy airborne, infants and arms Life's a beach and should you swim astray You'll fade to gray, some cast away There's no lifeguard service today

[@erinsimpson9397]

This needs more views, you need more fame, and I need to be less in love with your songs

[@charlesbrantley3027]

Nice video. Thx for sharing. I just came across an up & coming musician that's worth checking out... Mikey Wax... KZbin his song "Love Always Wins". Really catchy.

[@jasonlw76latrobe]

Been at square one for 18 years sucks. No man wants anything true and love and fun and work together on something wonderful. Romantic. But we always need to be models or wealthy. I guess. I need a man this gay man is lonely

[@wonjune9057]

funny mv

[@nahbro9278]

Is that The Rock?

[@ashleysophiepasamon6476]

Al único que le veo futuro de verdad,para vivir de ello,es al jovencito de la camiseta negra. No digo que la canción esté mal,solo que le falta chispa. En cuanto a ti,ya te dije en tu otro canal que entonas bien,eso no dice que cantes bien 100% .Todo el mundo si estudiará canto o a saber " manejar" el diafragma,todos serían cantantes.Pero no solo importa la voz en ese mundillo...qué pena que sea así verdad? Importante es la cara,como reflejas los sentimientos y tu cara no me dice nada,sin embargo en un anuncio de labios ( bucales) dirían mucho. Suerte!

[@SledgeHammerWOOKy]

..... video is typical copie of Mega genius "MiCHAEL JACKSON`s Black or White"

[@azureforceM]

Love the song and the video!
