Snooze Alarm 02:55
I tasted tears when I I kissed your eyes Love as a series of long goodbyes I really meant no harm When I pushed the snooze alarm I just wanted a little more time with Perfect climate and we climbed Touching tastebuds in that tree Sun sat low, with all that time To sway together, in the breeze I tasted tears when I I kissed your eyes Love as a series of long goodbyes I really meant no harm When I pushed the snooze alarm I just wanted a little more time with Stars diamonds, pupils dimes Standing naked, in the dark I said, “does it feel to you, Like we’re being torn apart” I tasted tears when I I kissed your eyes Love as a series of long goodbyes I really meant no harm When I pushed the snooze alarm I just wanted a little more time with You

Windows shut blinds half open My golden hour comes at 11 Hey pizza girl, are you a yogi? There’s no need to smile so coyly Maple Syrup, coffee pouring I kissed my ex just this morning 22 degrees, light on target I lay prostrate on the carpet It sure ain't bad to live Better than the alternative The only rules are self imposed If you love me then just say so Cute girl with a motorcycle Cute girl learning french I have been to Everest And marianas trench Feed a friend a lifetime If you teach them how to fish But you'll poison them with Mercury And turn their life to shit It sure ain't bad to live Better than the alternative The only rules are self imposed If you love me then just say so Plastic Bubbles on the table Life is short, a tad unstable.

Bashing your head up against the wall Till it breaks through Or will it break you Either way, pick up the pieces And learn something new The process of living seems to consist In realizing truths Barren platitudes Either way, everybody Starts from anew Not sure I could define what better even is But I’ll never know the trouble of a better life than this No spoiled rich, and not a wretch I never missed a train that I was meant to catch Seeing your face posted on my wall Insecurity It’s killing you Killing me, I’m not oblivious To these things Ooh ooh ooh I just chose to be Not sure I could define what better even is But I’ll never know the trouble of a better life than this The road to hell is paved with regrets I never missed a train that I was meant to catch Not sure I could define what better even is But I’ll never know the trouble of a better life than this What’s past is done and the future aint set I never missed a train that I was meant to catch

Sisyphean 04:31
Push that rock Til it drops Again and again Sisyphean Punch that clock Til it stops Again and again Sisyphean Bukowski, post officer Einstein, patent clerk Da vinci, engineer They all put in work Jesus Christ, Carpenter Che Guevara treated lepers Julia Child and the CIA We all put in work Push that rock Til it drops Again and again Sisyphean Punch that clock Til it stops Again and again Sisyphean At the mountain he must face each day Sisyphus punches in in the morning In hell for eternity Patient with death and belonging The universe henceforth without a master Each flake of that night filled mountain Struggle enough to fill a man’s heart Happiness resounding Push that rock Til it drops Again and again Sisyphean Punch that clock Til it stops Again and again Sisyphean

Saudade 04:39
Eu sou fogo e beijafloes Quando me lembro dos odoes Eu não posso ficar esperando Com saudade de um futuro ja passando Dannielle, so nice to have found you, alight and full of glee I'll tell you all I am until I am emptied We'll swell, our pulse our chests In breath and heat and sweat Saudade for all the times we could have met. Nos sonhos eu vou pra Trindade Quando eu sinto o Trindade Eu não posso ficar esperando Com saudade de um futuro ja passando O tempo e realmente so ilusão Nos enganamos com o futuro e o passado Agora e o ponto em que encontramos a eternidade Tudo que temos e sentido e saudade Dannielle the light that abounds you Extend and engulfs me Alls well And together we can transcend our memories Your smell your taste your sweat And all I can injest Saudade for all times we have not had yet.

Awake 02:48
Your love is like a tidal wave Wash me clean and take me away Turn my body into ocean spray Mind afloating Body boating That’s how I’ll stay We lay under our apple tree Nibble cores and we swallow seed How the juice runs down our cheeks Now I’m in it Glad you finished Right before me All my thoughts are coming unglued Look at the mirror and I’m falling through All my dreams are coming true And I will stay awake with you Be aware of what’s left unsaid Words and thoughts don’t just stay in your head They dribble out and the puddle will spread It’s quite important To not get shorted Or you’ll end up dead All my thoughts are coming unglued Look at the mirror and I’m falling through All my dreams are coming true And I will stay awake with you

Orion 04:32
I met you in the cold dark of Midwinter’s breathe towards the sky above You taught me how much that love hurt You were old and I was younger When I look you eye to eye I am mirrored across the sky We are all made of stuff of stars Of frequencies not time Your heart it pumps from the left side Swells like the sea’s tide Red like my insides You first struck me with your belt The love you dealt In three stellar welts You taught me to be a warrior Cosmic Explorer Impasse Destroyer You go away for summer The absence of love The distance of lovers When I look you eye to eye I am mirrored across the sky We are all made of stuff of stars Of frequencies not time My body is just like yours Your body is made of stars

Vexation 03:33
As scared to fall asleep, Perchance to dream... As to awake, Day to break. But come what may, to end my day, I’ll resolve to dissolve. Curl up in bed, put pillow to head And breathe Make believe Knowing not of fear, or if I’m even here I’m home I’m home Eyelids looking lovely Projections going dark Edges getting fuzzy I am you are we are Are you sure we have to leave? I was just falling asleep When I tell my story am I afraid of being boring Or am I afraid to die? Now I’m full of terms I never thought to learn: Enfermero y suero Is now the time I must quit? my head is in the bucket Time to split, this is it. I’m high from ventilation and spinning in vexation I’m home Catacombed. Eyelids looking lovely Projections going dark Edges getting fuzzy I am you are we are Are you sure we have to leave? I was just falling asleep Hey venetian machiavelli, is there something you need to tell me? I cannot fake this I’m no phaedrus Oh the moon is waxing waning And my wings are wax and melting I’m falling back

about

The Other Person is You is the sophomore release from the James project. The album follows the narrative structure of a day: waking up in the morning, enjoying breakfast with friends, commuting, facing the drudgery of work, coming home to your loved ones in the golden light of the afternoon, preparing for a dinner party with your friends, feeling wired as the evening winds down, going out to look at the stars and finally falling asleep.

All songs written, recorded, produced, and mixed by Spencer James Hitchcock and Connor James Sullivan.
