All Along 04:22
I can see that you're alone I don't feel like this is home I don't really want to stay I just don't know what to say (chorus) Here we were and here we stood A vision of our lives done good A future that we'll never see Divided by eternity Here we are and here we come And if we let it come undone A future that we'll never know Our hopes they come, our hopes they come and go Why must it end up this way? These things I've tried to keep at bay It's not, it's not that I don't care I just feel we're getting nowhere Chorus x2 I can see that you're alone Waiting by the telephone You, you know that I won't call I think we've known it all along Chorus

Something curious, I know Stretching out, far and wide Drifting off from this time and place Thinking out loud, do you mind Gotta be somewhere right now Gotta be somewhere right now Know what I mean, can't say it right Gotta be somewhere right now I'll fill you in on what's what While filling in all the gaps in my mind Can't say much more, words won't flow Lost in the shuffle but I'm doing fine Gotta be somewhere right now Gotta be somewhere right now Know what I mean, can't say it right Gotta be somewhere right now Gotta be somewhere right now Gotta be somewhere right now I know what it means, can't say it right Gotta be somewhere right now

Lose Control 02:41
Why Do you try To keep a hold on me Anymore You're Like a tied up line Stretching the time Too long These are the times that I lose control Are you listening? Are you listening? It grabs deep inside and it just takes hold Are you listening? Are you listening? So why Why should I be Forgetting the truth With you It's crazy It's gone too far Too far to be Real These are the times that I lose control Are you listening? Are you listening? It grabs deep inside and it just takes hold Are you listening? Are you listening? These are the times that I lose control Are you listening? Are you listening? It grabs deep inside and it just takes hold Are you listening? Are you listening? These are the times that I lose control These are the times that I lose control Lose control Lose control I lose control...

Did you try to call my name I'm too damn cold to hear Too damn cold to feel the pain The shame of living here I'm calling out in my pain I'm calling out in the freezing rain I'm calling out, this ain't no game I'm calling out, it's a shame A backwards glance and I saw you there There in the heat of the day I'm stuck in here like a polar bear Too damn cold to play I'm calling out in my pain I'm calling out in the freezing rain I'm calling out, this ain't no game I'm calling out, it's a shame

San Ysidro 04:05
I'm down at the beach, shovels, bottles and buckets Knees sinking slow Building in the sand a home for ex-lovers In San Ysidro Throw ourselves right into the ocean Cough up on the shore Spitting out salt and stacking dead soldiers Waves would come and you would go Watch everything we make Wash out with the tide As the water swallows the sun Day drowns into night We could stay here forever Yeah, but not tonight Not tonight Sit at the bar, smokes, peanuts and pool cues People that I don't know Greeted again by all those old voices Nowhere else to go A memory well growing deeper and darker Pulling me from below Pour myself right into the bottom Make myself at home Everything we said Echoes amplified Thoughts again refused Stale neon light You were mine forever Yeah, but not tonight Not tonight

about

Drew met Isaac in 1993 in Colorado, then they lost touch. Several years and a thousand miles later, they serendipitously met up on the north side of Chicago and formed a band with Isaac's friends. A dozen songs and a few parties later, Helium Derby recorded these songs up on the north side in an apartment studio on what seemed magical at the time, a hard disk recorder (this was 1998). Some CDs were made, distributed to friends, then after a rooftop gig over on Southport by Diversey they disbanded.
