  • "36000" is about the experience of an artist who wants to make it to the top of their profession. It takes a certain amount of sacrifice and tunnel vision to keep making opportunities for yourself, and keep putting your work out there. Sometimes, our tunnel vision is so narrow that we forget to take in the other parts of life as they go by. This song is written from that feeling. The feeling of focusing so much on one goal that you don't even notice your life going on in the background.
    Lyrics:
    (Verse 1)
    36000 and a house on fire
    Trusting in the strength of some broken copper wire
    Her parents didn’t want their baby to move far from home
    She doesn’t know the city and she’s never been on her own
    (Prechorus 1)
    She says it’s just for a year
    It’s all worth the fear and the pain that she feels
    She says she’s hungry for this
    That nothing brings her the same bliss that it brings
    (Chorus)
    And she knows
    She knows (x5)
    She’s got something to prove
    (Verse 2)
    54000 and a house on fire
    Livin with somebody with a boss that she admires
    She said she’ll call the man her husband on the 4th of June
    Can’t be any closer with a baby coming soon
    (Prechorus 2)
    She says he keeps her awake
    But nothing was worse than the heartache
    She keeps her calendar clean
    One of these days she is sure to be seen
    (Chorus)
    (Bridge x2)
    So she gets a better job in the city cuz she knows what she’s worth
    She tells the kids she’s leaving on a red eye at midnight
    Visit on your father’s dime
    And as soon is she is ready she’ll be coming home
    (Chorus)
    (Verse 3)
    68 million and a house on fire
    Sold another series and she’s desperate to retire
    She can’t fight away the feeling of not good enough
    She’s waiting for the day when somebody calls her bluff
    (Prechorus 3)
    She saw her daughter in May
    They went out to lunch, she had nothing to say
    She says she wants to stay close
    But burning is all that she knows
