original version - WHEREVER YOU ARE outtake; released Christmas 2005 as a downloadable mp3 on mineandyours.com
version two - album: INDIANA

"The original and, admittedly, superior version of this song probably would have been the first single from Wherever You Are had it been released in its originally intended version. It includes a stellar drum track from Ethan Eubanks and some hilariously well-enunciated 'V’s' on the background vocal track. At the time of the recording of Indiana, I was convinced that all of the tracks from Wherever You Are would probably spend their lives on a shelf somewhere. The eventual decision to record this song again in a fashion more suitable for that album was difficult but necessary. Its overall mood needed some elevating and I seemed utterly incapable of producing anything very chipper at the time."

said goodbye to my family
then i poured me a drink
made my way to the city
threw out the kitchen sink

kept the words of my mother
to her favorite son
when the world's on your shoulder
you do the oneplusone

oneplusone, you gotta go find someone
all alone in your bed and the day isn't done
oneplusone, you gotta go find someone
all alone in your bed and the day isn't done
oneplusone

say goodbye to your daddy
while i wait in the car
watch him color with envy
to see you come so far

and maybe when you get older
you'll find reason to run
but you'll never get nowhere
without the oneplusone

oneplusone, you gotta go find someone
all alone in your bed and the day isn't done

oneplusone, you gotta go find someone
all alone in your bed and the day isn't done
oneplusone
