The Coast

Out in the courtyard, in the sunlight, she walks among them.
She knows her mind, she knows her mind.
Back in the city, I’m kicking rocks and I kinda thought that we would share our lives.
But it serves me right.
Is it all always the same in the end?
I was cut from the cloth of an ordinary man.
I wanna face it in the right direction.
A better version of me, a different person than you is on the coast.
I gotta go if it’s time.
Out on the turnpike faces turn back as the girl of the coastline rides.
See her smile, I know I can too, I just haven’t for a while.
If Mona Lisa was a picasso would she still feel the same?
Probably not, so why am I so hell-bent on change?
When it’s all always the same in the end.
I was cut from the cloth of an ordinary man.
I wanna face it in the right direction.
A better version of me, a different person than you is on the coast.
I gotta go if it’s time.
I wanna face it in the right direction
I wanna face it in the right direction
(Always the same in the end)

Consulting

At once I was a broken soul, capsizing on the seas.
Waiting for a Tailor’s hand to gently come and stitch the seams.
Or was I simply waiting there like a seed within the earth?
For a moment I could find myself, a moment of rebirth.

Trans Am

I packed it up and did the only thing logical with my life.
Bought a Pontiac Trans Am gonna keep it runnin’ till one of us breaks down.
I had enough, all my surroundings they were digging me an early grave.
I wanna find some people who think like me.
Maybe build a new city in the wild wild west.
A million ways, a million ways for anyone to live their lives.
But we only get one till our time has come, I know I need to make things right.
Along the way I’ll do my best to outrun what’s been left behind.
But if i weary of my load I’ll hit the shoulder of the road and just listen to the night
My trouble behind me, my trouble behind me, my trouble behind me, my trouble behind me.
My trouble behind me, my trouble behind me, my trouble behind me, my trouble.

Cops

Cops on the roadside don’t like the way I drive.
Not feeling guilty, push it forward just to feel alive.
I got tired of the way I lived my life.
I guess I thought I didn’t know myself.
All my time was spent in the basement.
Locked inside my head, filled with regret.
Not quite sure just what I’ve been chasing.
Feeling’s almost there…
but it comes and goes!
Oh yeah it comes and goes.
And it fucks with me, oh it fucks with me
Did it fuck with you?
Oh does it fuck with you?
I’m in control now, that’s just the way I feel.
Not gonna be another victim in the line of steel.
Open road now, I bless the steering wheel.
These cops can chase me, but they’re gonna need help.
All my time was spent in the basement.
Locked inside my head, filled with regret.
Not quite sure just what I’ve been chasing.
Feeling’s almost there…
but it comes and goes!
Oh yeah it comes and goes.
And it fucks with me, oh it fucks with me
Did it fuck with you?
Oh does it fuck with you, you, you, YOU?

EXCUSE ME. Guelph, Ontario
Excuse Me is Adam Kuhrt, Aleks Liskauskas, Dylan Creed, Heyden Reay, and Jo Seymour; a five-piece alternative rock group.
The band formed at the University of Guelph in 2017 and developed a strong local following shortly thereafter.
We started our journey practicing in a cramped bedroom space, and somehow ended up in an even smaller one; but our dreams have never been bigger.
