June from Potential by Daniels on the Rocks
This was the song that inspired Potential to be such a themed release. It was started on a sunny afternoon in September, on the porch, staring at the sun. I wrote Stained Jeans, from Car Guitar EP, in that same spot. I've always written about this girl or that girl, & when I finally came to, finally took off my masks, well.. yeah. That's June. I'm proud.

Lyrics
From the front porch of my parents' house
watch the sun break through the trees
singing songs I wrote about
girls I met at 17
It's amazing how alive I felt
back in my old stomping grounds
It's amazing how much time can heal
and it's amazing how fast she can move on
The guitar strap you bought me
still hangs on my shoulder
kinda like how this guilt will be with me
when I'm older and wiser and capable of love
happiness will fit me like a glove
it'll be a cold day in Hell
or maybe just a Thursday in June
you'll be walking down the aisle
& I'll be glad I'm not with you
I used to say I'd done my best
there's a chance that may still hold true
but my worst and best may be all the same
least when it comes to you &
I never had any reasons
definitely not for all my treason
i never had any belief in myself
maybe that's the hardest part of love &
The guitar strap you bought me
still hangs on my shoulder
kinda like how this guilt will be with me
when I'm older and wiser and capable of love
happiness will fit me like a glove
it'll be a cold day in Hell
or maybe just a Thursday in June
you'll be walking down the aisle
& I'll be glad I'm not with you
She said don't hide behind your lies
you know you've got such brilliant eyes
i never saw the reason for the disguise
but at the end of the ball
I took off my mask, revealed it all,
& she shrank away, ran off into the night
The guitar strap you bought me
still hangs on my shoulder
kinda like how this guilt will be with me
when I'm older and wiser and capable of love
happiness will fit me like a glove
it'll be a cold day in Hell
or maybe just a Thursday in June
you'll be walking down the aisle
& I'll be glad I'm not with you
Glad that I'm not with you
So happy for you
But I'm glad that I'm not with you
