Emma I know it's hard
The rent was due last paycheck
And your balance is running low
Wherever you are, the diner is open
You can fill up on your coffee
If you're feeling a little slow
You wait for the bus at the bottom
Of the hill that you grew up on
Where your mother is getting old
She found herself a partner
Who turned your bedroom into an office
So I guess you're on your own
Is it full ask or best offer?
Can you wait a little longer?
Leave your key set on the island before you go

Lydia I've been good how ya been?
It's nice of you to be checking in
I'm getting on the plane now
Going to my parents' house
But something that you said made me laugh
In your message but I can't write you back right now
So I'll call you when I land
Call when I understand your motives
I don't mean to make you wait by the phone
I don't mean to make you feel all alone
Like you made me feel
You made me feel unwanted
But I hoped that you'd be sticking around
I hope that you'll be sticking around
I hope that you'll be sticking around
Well they told me you were moving away
Tell me what convinced you to stay
I hope it's not me
I hope it's not for my benefit
But I hoped that you'd be sticking around
I hope that you'll be sticking around
I hope that you'll be sticking around

Army (Nothing to Lose)

Can you tell?
Are you wondering
If I'll ever use the shit I learned in the army
Were you disappointed
When I got my shit together
Stopped hanging on Elm and eating breakfast in my car
They'll always be a part of me
That feels I should apologize for leaving
Are you well?
I keep forgetting you're older than me
I put you out my head and then the dumbest things remind me
That you're my responsibility
Like walking a dog or changing bed sheets
What was the point of all of the obstacles
When there's no one to be helped
I'd like to return to the person I was before
These 6 years I have
Nothing to lose for losing
Nothing to lose for losing
Nothing to lose for losing
Nothing to lose for losing

In the terminal
Or the checkout line
Or a highway drive
Autopilot I
Wonder where time goes
'Cause it gets away
When the meter's full
Of your pocket change
I'm not young enough to feel this lost
I'm not old enough to know the cause
I'm not in control
Does it get to you
When I'm in my head
When you don't know where I've been
Can't remember it
I keep hoping you don't go away
Brightly burst and then you slowly fade
Should've seen your face
Put the heater on
And the oven light
I can see at night
Can't believe my eyes
Was this really what you had in mind
Spaceman got himself stuck in the sky
Differences aside

Nate Roy Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Welcome to my BandCamp! I'm glad you're here.
My name is Nate and I'm a singer-
songwriter from the Philly burbs.
I love making music, and I love sharing it with people. These days I mostly make music for homebodies, retired emo kids, and unapologetic suburban dwellers.
If you like knitting, off street parking, or buying jeans at Costco you will probably find something to like in my songs.
