about

I wrote this song as a way to tribute and acknowledge all the time I've spent lying awake at night regretting things said, done, or not said or done. The imagination of the girls I could have met, and where my teenage male mind takes that.

There is an abandon summer-camp near where I grew up. It is a reoccurring obsession of mine, as it was also the inspiration for the song Camp Algonquin. When I was 16 I had a dream that I met and fell in love with a girl there. I spent lots of summer days and nights exploring it afterward. Last summer, I actually broke into some of the cabins and the main dining hall, just to see dusty mattresses stacked in corners, old file cabinets, and cobwebs.

At the time I recorded this song I was in a relationship which ended recently, making the "Why can't I get a girlfriend?" part redundant, as I already had one.

lyrics

If I had known somehow, What I knew right now, When I was fourteen...
I'm on a crash course to having no friends, Why can't I get a girlfriend?
I would have gone to summercamp, I would have gotten, So much poon. Why Can't I get a girlfriend?
Why Can't I get a girlfriend?
I would have gotten, SO MUCH POON
