I'll stay up an hour or two
My own world
Dreaming dreams that I fade into
Brave new world
Static fades on my tv screen
My own world
Watching the clock spin round and round
My own world
Pin me up
Throw me down
Take my name
Take me to town
I’d tell the truth but they wouldn’t let me speak
Cause the words were too harsh for the mild and the meek
Back and forth between the lies
Smells as thick as turpentine
Talk, talk, talk but I’m not scared
Your preaching to the choir with your stern, static stare
I fell into a deep, deep sleep
Brave new world
Wake me from a deep sleep
Brave new world
My own world
Dreaming dreams that I fade into
Brave new world
Static fades on my tv screen
My own world
Watching the clock spin round and round
My own world
Pin me up
Throw me down
Take my name
Take me to town
I’d tell the truth but they wouldn’t let me speak
Cause the words were too harsh for the mild and the meek
Back and forth between the lies
Smells as thick as turpentine
Talk, talk, talk but I’m not scared
Your preaching to the choir with your stern, static stare
I fell into a deep, deep sleep
Brave new world
Wake me from a deep sleep
Brave new world

It’s so damn cold, but I can feel the heat
The night is old, but I’m up in the backseat
Thinking of you, thinking of you
The interstate feels like a check out lane
Holding all we can hoping that someday we’ll gain
From what we lose, what we lose
Ooh baby, ooh wee, these long, long winters left me cold and hungry
The summer night sky, the madness, your kiss, all of these things that I’ve come to miss
I am taking my time but it’s getting late
I’m picking up my pace just running from my fate
Just like you, just like you
The almight finally got its day
People leave in time you know but can’t get paid
Yeah that’s the truth, that’s the truth
Ooh baby, ooh wee, these long, long winters have left me cold and hungry
The summer night sky, the madness, your kiss, all of these things that I’ve come to miss
I’m driving all night, till I get home, till I get home
You know I'm driving all night till I get home
You know I'm driving all night till I get home
You know I'm driving all night till I get home
Driving all night till I get home
Driving all night till I get home
Searching all night for a home
The night is old, but I’m up in the backseat
Thinking of you, thinking of you
The interstate feels like a check out lane
Holding all we can hoping that someday we’ll gain
From what we lose, what we lose
Ooh baby, ooh wee, these long, long winters left me cold and hungry
The summer night sky, the madness, your kiss, all of these things that I’ve come to miss
I am taking my time but it’s getting late
I’m picking up my pace just running from my fate
Just like you, just like you
The almight finally got its day
People leave in time you know but can’t get paid
Yeah that’s the truth, that’s the truth
Ooh baby, ooh wee, these long, long winters have left me cold and hungry
The summer night sky, the madness, your kiss, all of these things that I’ve come to miss
I’m driving all night, till I get home, till I get home
You know I'm driving all night till I get home
You know I'm driving all night till I get home
You know I'm driving all night till I get home
Driving all night till I get home
Driving all night till I get home
Searching all night for a home

Oh, oh again, our eyes intervene, this type of thing, reminds me of those movies
The kind, the kind you wished would never, ever end
I rest my head against her shoulder blade, holding her hand, I’m drifting off to sleep
But you know I can’t seem to sleep, so I’ll be dreaming of you, of you
Let me know youre here
Let me hear your voice
Let me feel your heartbeat
It’s so soothing to me, to me
I’d happily be your Humphrey Bogart just promise me you’d be my Ingrid Bergman
You’d be my Ingrid Bergman
I’d hold you like, a candle on a windy day, I’d hold you like a camera
Capturing two lovers and the daylight drifting away, away
Let me know you're here
Let me hear your voice
Let me feel your heartbeat
It’s so soothing to me, to me, to me, to me
Let me know you're here
Let me hear your voice
Let me feel your heartbeat
It’s so soothing to me, to me, to me
The kind, the kind you wished would never, ever end
I rest my head against her shoulder blade, holding her hand, I’m drifting off to sleep
But you know I can’t seem to sleep, so I’ll be dreaming of you, of you
Let me know youre here
Let me hear your voice
Let me feel your heartbeat
It’s so soothing to me, to me
I’d happily be your Humphrey Bogart just promise me you’d be my Ingrid Bergman
You’d be my Ingrid Bergman
I’d hold you like, a candle on a windy day, I’d hold you like a camera
Capturing two lovers and the daylight drifting away, away
Let me know you're here
Let me hear your voice
Let me feel your heartbeat
It’s so soothing to me, to me, to me, to me
Let me know you're here
Let me hear your voice
Let me feel your heartbeat
It’s so soothing to me, to me, to me

Maybe I should have tried just a little bit harder
And I know I would have seen the truth
Maybe I should have known just a little bit better
Before I started talking to you
But I thought knew
I thought I knew
I thought I knew
But this time, you know I’m going to think things through
And next time I won’t be talking to you
At times I wonder why I worry all the time
It seems strange how I’m up then I’m down
But I know I’ll learn to lose these adolescent blues
And I’ll stay out painting the town
And I won’t be found
And I won’t be found
I won’t be found
Cause this time I’m gonna’ think things through
And next time I won’t be crawling back to you
Lately I’ve apologized just maybe one too many times
For staying closer when you wanted me afar
But I could hardly help it and surely one day you’ll see it
I didn't mean to amend who you are
But I thought knew
I thought I knew
I thought I knew
But this time, you know I’m going to think things through
And next time I won’t be apologizing to you
I thought I knew, I thought I knew
And when you’re looking for someone new
Just remember I wanted to be closer to you
And I know I would have seen the truth
Maybe I should have known just a little bit better
Before I started talking to you
But I thought knew
I thought I knew
I thought I knew
But this time, you know I’m going to think things through
And next time I won’t be talking to you
At times I wonder why I worry all the time
It seems strange how I’m up then I’m down
But I know I’ll learn to lose these adolescent blues
And I’ll stay out painting the town
And I won’t be found
And I won’t be found
I won’t be found
Cause this time I’m gonna’ think things through
And next time I won’t be crawling back to you
Lately I’ve apologized just maybe one too many times
For staying closer when you wanted me afar
But I could hardly help it and surely one day you’ll see it
I didn't mean to amend who you are
But I thought knew
I thought I knew
I thought I knew
But this time, you know I’m going to think things through
And next time I won’t be apologizing to you
I thought I knew, I thought I knew
And when you’re looking for someone new
Just remember I wanted to be closer to you

Won’t you come back to me now
You’re such a fool for leaving me here
And I can’t get over how I felt
Won’t you just come on back to me my dear
Why won’t you just come out and play
Remember the days when you chased me around
You caught ahold and you’d let me loose
Got loose but always, always was found
She left a goodbye note
But it was just something that she wrote
She said she’d be back in a matter of time
If only she felt what she wrote between the lines
Why won't you come out and dance
I’m stuck in here with nothing to do
I’m putting ‘em back making it new
This place feels empty without you
She left a goodbye note
But it was just something that she wrote
She said she’d be back in a matter of time
If only she felt what she wrote between the lines
You left me your love
You left me your love
But it was
Signed in ink
Signed in ink
You left me your love
You left me your love
But it was
Signed in ink
Signed in ink
You left me your love
You left me your love
But it was
Signed in ink
Signed in ink
You left me your love
You left me your love
But it was
Signed in ink
It was signed in ink
You left me your love
You left me your love
But it was
Signed in ink
Signed in ink
You left me your love
You left me your love
But it was
Signed in ink

You’re such a fool for leaving me here

Why won’t you just come out and play

Got loose but always, always was found

You know and I know
We’re just keeping time
You can’t take it forward or leave it all behind
I’m remembering you
And you are remembering me
All we’ll really carry are the same memories
And if I crash my car into the ditch at half past dawn
And if I lose on all the tickets I bargained on
I’m begging, please, oh please don’t you forget me
Because I’m right here singing, singing through the breeze
Prophets and movie stars
You know they’re all the same
Throw your faith against the wall
It’ll all be OK
They must of thought I would believe
In the myths I did receive
And I really owe it to you
Thankfully, you warned me
And if I crash my car into the ditch at half past dawn
And if I lose on all the tickets I bargained on
I’m begging, please, oh please don’t you forget me
Because I’m right here singing, singing through the breeze
Now when I’m out on my own
And this world spits on me
I gotta’ keep close in mind
There is no real routine
Because I’ll live to funerals
I’ll make way for holidays
And when it’s all over
It was really all just the same
And if I crash my car into the ditch at half past dawn
And if I lose on all the tickets I bargained on
I’m begging, please, oh please don’t you forget me
Because I’m right here singing, singing through the breeze
We’re just keeping time
You can’t take it forward or leave it all behind
I’m remembering you
And you are remembering me
All we’ll really carry are the same memories
And if I crash my car into the ditch at half past dawn
And if I lose on all the tickets I bargained on
I’m begging, please, oh please don’t you forget me

Prophets and movie stars
You know they’re all the same
Throw your faith against the wall
It’ll all be OK
They must of thought I would believe
In the myths I did receive
And I really owe it to you
Thankfully, you warned me
And if I crash my car into the ditch at half past dawn
And if I lose on all the tickets I bargained on
I’m begging, please, oh please don’t you forget me

And if I lose on all the tickets I bargained on

Because I’m right here singing, singing through the breeze

We made some plans and they went astray
You didn’t have a lot to say
But there wasn’t a lot that you could
A few doors down I’m keeping in mind
The number of times you believed I was blind
But maybe you, maybe you were blind too
Add it all up and all you’ll get is zero
I could not sit down so I stood up
Just rising from being down on my luck
I’d fix it and you’d give it time, now I’ll take a drink and get back in line
Aiming is dangerous when you hit
The points in which you wished you’d missed
As confetti fell from your lips, we weren’t celebrating
Add it all up and all you’ll get is zero
Is zero
Is zero
Is zero
Is zero
You didn’t have a lot to say
But there wasn’t a lot that you could
A few doors down I’m keeping in mind
The number of times you believed I was blind
But maybe you, maybe you were blind too
Add it all up and all you’ll get is zero
I could not sit down so I stood up
Just rising from being down on my luck
I’d fix it and you’d give it time, now I’ll take a drink and get back in line
Aiming is dangerous when you hit
The points in which you wished you’d missed
As confetti fell from your lips, we weren’t celebrating
Add it all up and all you’ll get is zero
Is zero
Is zero
Is zero
Is zero

Biography
Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Trapper Schoepp has earned acclaim as one of America’s most gifted new Singer-Songwriters and for his remarkably detailed tales of characters on the fringes of society. Born in Red Wing, Minnesota, Trapper's mother encouraged him to study Guitar as a "safer hobby" after suffering a back injury from BMX bike riding. While recovering from the injury, Trapper heard Bob Dylan's song "Hurricane" in the movie of the same name, which inspired him to become a musician.
On an upward trajectory with critical praise for his Brendan Benson-produced second album, 2016’s 'Rangers & Valentines', Trapper's life took a sudden personal and health-related downturn and he turned to music for solace and direction. He came across Bob Dylan's unfinished song about his beloved Wisconsin, decided to set the song to music, and eventually earned a co-writing credit with the legendary troubadour.
