1.	Blankets 03:34	lyrics	buy track
Making our way through gaps in trees Freezing to death, dying to please (Anticipating everything) In the still of the air, I watched your breath Forming in clouds around my neck (Oh, what a nervous, nervous wreck) If things are gonna escalate They could be moving toward a swift decline We're short on time What the hell am I doing? If things are gonna escalate Maybe that would be just fine I got a whole night Why the hell am I waiting? Stamping the outlines of our feet Leaving proof of the places where we meet (Chapping your lips, wind whistling) Scrawling your name into the snow I heard you whisper, I wanna go home (With you) If things are gonna escalate They could be moving toward a swift decline We're short on time What the hell am I doing? If things are gonna escalate Maybe that would be just fine I got a whole night Why the hell am I waiting? If things are gonna escalate They could be moving toward a swift decline We're short on time What the hell am I doing? If things are gonna escalate Maybe that would be just fine I got a whole night Why the hell am I waiting?
2.	Burn The Bed 03:36	lyrics	buy track
Live it up Your skin Wondering where you've been Somebody shares its point of view You once said, "think twice" Knocking at the door of your own advice Is it ever going to let you back in? Or are you locked out on the porch naked again? I can't make you say I can't make you stay I can make you love another If you can make me sick to death And bury me under your covers Burn the bed and save the rest Live it up Your friend Jealousy where you've been Nobody cares like they used to You once named your vice Drinking down the blurs of your favorite times Is it ever going to tuck you back in? Or are you passed out on the floor from which you spin? I can't make you say I can't make you stay I can make you love another If you can make me sick to death And bury me under your covers Burn the bed and save the rest Burn the bed and save the rest Nights look on days A million miles walking through a maze of disbelief An angry mob with torches after me I'll run, tripping when you find out what I've done If you can't see It's not who you are it's how I choose to be
3.	Lesser Evil 03:22	lyrics	buy track
It's no wonder how you sleep at night Tossing, turning, leaving on the light Oh no, don't know, how can I replace What comes after disaster finds my face? You wanna fall apart? I can teach you that You wanna live alone? Yeah, I can teach you that Go on and take a number Then wait your place in line The water's fine You could go it alone What'd I tell you? The heart's a fragile vase You break it, you buy it Denied it - what a waste Oh no, ego slips and takes a dive For worse or for better, the lesser evil cries You wanna fall apart? I can teach you that You wanna live alone? Yeah, I can teach you that Go on and take a number Then wait your place in line The water's fine You could go it alone Don't wanna fall apart Already taught me that Don't wanna live alone Yeah, you already taught me that Right now, I'm feeling dumber I lost my place in line, is there still time? Don't wanna go it alone
4.	Prove Me Wrong 03:10	lyrics	buy track
You are the one I can't see I am the one you stare at in doubt Lately the sun's in your eyes Shielding your hand out in front of me Sing a tune of 5,000 miles If only for a little while In case there's any doubt I'm forever hanging in denial Until you prove me wrong Here comes the numbness of night Here comes the ringing in my ear Lately there's talk of a new guy Hell, I don't even know what I'm sad about Sing a tune of 5,000 miles But only for a little while In case there's any doubt I'm forever hanging in denial Until you prove me wrong Sing a tune of 5,000 miles But only for a little while In case there's any doubt I'm forever hanging in denial Sing a tune of 5,000 miles It was only for a little while In case there's any doubt I'm forever hanging in denial Until you prove me wrong Until you prove me wrong
5.	Clinging To A Dream You Don't Want To Leave 03:40	lyrics	buy track
Holding nothing back Your whole world under attack You were destined to react, it shows And now I miss what no one knows Clinging to a dream All you've known since 17 You are far too interesting, too close To kiss the hand, you can't let go Stop, chase I need a miracle Stop, chase I need a miracle Stop, chase I need a miracle Stop Cut away, away, away Days become collaged Scraps of self you sabotaged Cut and pasted to a cause that reads The end will justify the means The end will justify the means The end will justify the means You'll see Stop, chase I need a miracle Stop, chase I need a miracle Stop, chase I need a miracle Stop Cut away, away, away Stop Cut away, away, away Stop Cut away, away, away Stop Stop Stop
6.	Are You Coming Over? 02:31	lyrics	buy track
Mary, I miss you - I've got to resist you Head in the water, knees in a spin All since I've known you, all paranoia It comes, it goes, it came and it went Are you coming over again? Are you coming over? Are you coming over again? Mary deceived me, you'll have to believe me You're being selfish. Am I wearing thin? Drunk on emotion, thoughts of devotion Hang in the hall where your pictures had been Are you coming over again? Are you coming over? Are you coming over again? You can't escape if it's safe to drive I never, I never I pull in reverse, watch you curse and cry Whatever, whatever You can't escape if it's safe to drive I never, I never I pull in reverse, watch you curse and cry Whatever, whatever Are you coming over again? Are you coming over? Are you coming over again? Are you coming over?
7.	Nursing Back A Wing 03:07	lyrics	buy track
We're my favorite broken record Every scratch, every side Flips from cloud to ground The mood goes round and round How'd you get to be so goddamn nice? Nursing back a wing you know won't fly I'm starting to think you control the weather The sheets turn freezing after midnight As crazy as that sounds I'm snowed in and housebound And when it thaws, it hurts to break the ice You're nursing back a wing that won't take flight The sound of cicadas and Spanish wine Replacing your voice with the words you write "It's fine, I'm fine, I think I'm fine" How'd you get to be so goddamn nice? Nursing back a wing you know won't... Meet me on a ledge and hold on tight We're nursing back a wing we know won't fly We're nursing back a wing we know won't fly
8.	I'm Glad You're Happy 03:40	lyrics	buy track
Stare at screens Fiend for feeds and I scroll New York City Deals its hand and I fold It's coming up against me Showing off your heart Is everything against me? I don't think you are Here's the truth Four frames in a booth Flash your eyes And catch me surprised Separate You move on, I still wait for what's done And all your echoes are gone It's coming up against me Showing off your heart Is everything against me? I don't think you are It's coming up against me Showing off your heart Is everything against me? It's coming up against me Showing off your heart Is everything against me?

about

“...drenched in nostalgia...a driving, forward leap into a hazy and wishful landscape.” - Glasse Factory

You're Just In Time To Miss Everything is the debut album from Early Internet; the moniker for Austin turned LA turned Seattle-based dream-indie-pop artist, Dean Stafford.

As the title suggests, the album lends itself to feelings of missed windows of opportunity, whether it's through bad timing, aging, generational shortcomings, or misfortune in general. There are parallels drawn between the state of the world today and the isolation it has spawned - a longing for past places, events, and people.

Despite this, the songs don’t relish in melancholy. Rather, they exist in a bittersweet and melodic universe reminiscent of early aughts staples like Jimmy Eat World or Death Cab for Cutie; songs that might serve well as the backdrop for a coming of age film - only set in one’s 30s.

Regardless of its subject matter, Stafford maintains a conscious effort to arrive at his unanswered questions through a lens of cautious optimism.

The album is ultimately an acknowledgment of a need to accept one's circumstances as they are, while not allowing them to rob oneself of happiness. It's an affirmation to live in the present moment, where everything actually is.
