When I first put out Care To Look last year, my hope was that it would inspire you to look between the lines of this life we’ve been given as a gift to live. Like I said before, there was a time when I took everything at face value- but as I’ve grown and stepped into the world of songwriting, I’ve come to realize that the best things in life are often the ones we miss the first time around.
To stay true to my words and to the nature of this project, I want to give y’all a deeper look into the stories behind these songs. Care To Look (Between The Lines) not only features commentary on my writing process and the songs themselves, but it also includes a work tape as a bonus track called “Selling Songs.”
It took over one hundred songs to find these six, and it only felt right to tell a little more of this story before moving on to the next chapter. After all, storytelling is what I do best.

"5x7 Rug" Written by Keller Cox, Jason Earley, Delaney Ramsdell
Lyrics:
I grew up too fast to have a childhood Sometimes life don't play fair or by the rules Put my shoulders back, red hot mad At the cards my dad was dealt Had to hold it all by myself Too big for the closet, too heavy for the shelf
You can act like nothing's missing You can act like nothing's wrong You can find a broom try to sweep the truth Somewhere it don't belong Grab a corner lift it up But you can't fit that kind of stuff Under a 5x7 rug
It was more than just a season, I still struggle Strive and try to find the words to say When will good enough be good enough Will it ever change I have to remind myself
You can act like nothing's missing You can act like nothing's wrong You can find a broom try to sweep the truth Somewhere it don't belong Grab a corner lift it up But you can't fit that kind of stuff Under a 5x7 rug
Why do all the hard things Stick around and follow us And who are we to chalk 'em up to dust
You can act like nothing's missing You can act like nothing's wrong You can find a broom try to sweep the truth Somewhere it don't belong Grab a corner lift it up But you can't fit that kind of stuff Under a 5x7 rug Under a 5x7 rug
