The Long Way Home — 10 songs, 3 cards each

"I didn't know
it was the last one.
I'd have paid
more attention."

The Last Normal Night

Ivan Solén

"And I said yeah
like it was nothing.
Like it was
just another yeah."

The Last Normal Night

Ivan Solén

"The dishes were still
in the sink.
Two cups, two plates,
two of everything."

The Last Normal Night

Ivan Solén

"I loved you —
not past tense,
present tense,
wrong tense.
Every tense at once."

Lights Were On

Ivan Solén

"Turns out perfect order
is just another word
for late."

Lights Were On

Ivan Solén

"A man can run
on empty long enough
to almost believe it."

Lights Were On

Ivan Solén

"The last place
you still live
is the last place
I can lose you."

Half The Closet

Ivan Solén

"You were here.
You were real.
You were worth
every single half."

Half The Closet

Ivan Solén

"Found a grocery list
inside a jacket —
Milk and bread
and your handwriting."

Half The Closet

Ivan Solén

"I do my grieving
in the car.
Between the office
and the door."

Nobody's Watching

Ivan Solén

"Turns out love
just needed a Tuesday.
An ordinary Tuesday
that I spent
being almost ready."

Nobody's Watching

Ivan Solén

"Three words, a comma,
then my name
and nothing after."

Nobody's Watching

Ivan Solén

"Don't fix it.
Don't reframe it.
Don't tell me
what it means —
Just sit here."

Just Stay

Ivan Solén

"They want to say
the right thing.
There isn't a right thing.
And I love them
for trying."

Just Stay

Ivan Solén

"Just stay.
Just stay.
Just stay.
That's all."

Just Stay

Ivan Solén

"Still reach for you
at 3am.
And my body
hasn't got the news."

The Other Side

Ivan Solén

"Something about
the middle
feels like saying
it's over."

The Other Side

Ivan Solén

"My hands remembered
what my head
was trying to forget."

The Other Side

Ivan Solén

"You looked lighter —
God you looked lighter.
I took the long way home
and cried the whole way."

Seen You Out

Ivan Solén

"I got to watch you
just for a second
being free."

Seen You Out

Ivan Solén

"I think I'm gonna
be okay.
I think I'm gonna
be okay."

Seen You Out

Ivan Solén

"I don't know
where I'm going
but I can't stay here."

Neon & Nothing

Ivan Solén

"Maybe healing
isn't quiet.
Maybe it's this."

Neon & Nothing

Ivan Solén

"I am beautifully,
quietly sane."

Neon & Nothing

Ivan Solén

"The grief and the laugh
can live in the same chest.
I'm proof."

Something Almost Funny

Ivan Solén

"Four seconds
of forgetting
and it felt like
coming up for air."

Something Almost Funny

Ivan Solén

"What kind of man
laughs in the middle
of this?
The kind that's
going to make it."

Something Almost Funny

Ivan Solén

"Not as weight —
as proof.
Proof I loved something
all the way.
Proof I survived it."

New City

Ivan Solén

"Nobody here
knows my name —
and that feels like
a brand new heart."

New City

Ivan Solén

"I need a city
that doesn't know
anything yet."

New City

Ivan Solén

The Weight We Carry Home — 13 songs, 3 cards each

"Who's gonna hold
the one who's been
holding everyone
in place?"

Fix Your Face

Ivan Solén

"I am more than
what I could survive —
I want to be alive."

Fix Your Face

Ivan Solén

"There's a boy in the mirror
I haven't seen in years.
He's been waiting
so patient."

Fix Your Face

Ivan Solén

"What kind of prison
is built out of pride?
Four walls of silence
with a man still inside."

The Bill

Ivan Solén

"Couldn't say I love you
so I bought her
the stuff."

The Bill

Ivan Solén

my productivity —
God, I just want
to be whole."

The Bill

Ivan Solén

"God, what did they
do to us boys?"

Side By Side

Ivan Solén

"I love you, man.
I don't know why
that's so hard."

Side By Side

Ivan Solén

"Side by side
our whole lives
and still
miles apart."

Side By Side

Ivan Solén

"I have my father's hands.
But not his silence."

His Hands

Ivan Solén

"Go and tell your son
you love him.
Tell your son
you love him."

His Hands

Ivan Solén

"I will not pass
this down.
I'll be the one
who breaks the line."

His Hands

Ivan Solén

"You don't have to earn
the right to rest."

Still Here

Ivan Solén

"I wasted so much
trying to arrive —
but I am standing
in my own life."

Still Here

Ivan Solén

"This is everything.
This was always
enough."

Still Here

Ivan Solén

"I was saving them
for later —
God I thought
we had the rest."

I Should've Said

Ivan Solén

"I gave you
what I always gave —
a silence
that you heard."

I Should've Said

Ivan Solén

"I'm fluent in
the language
of too little
and too late
and goodbye."

I Should've Said

Ivan Solén

"Nobody asks a man
how he feels
about his face."

Glass Man

Ivan Solén

"What a quiet prison.
What a heavy game.
Every man I know
is playing
just the same."

Glass Man

Ivan Solén

"They're all doing it too.
Sucking it in.
Standing a little taller.
They all notice
because they're all
doing it too."

Glass Man

Ivan Solén

"Every 'whatever,'
every 'it's all good' —
was just I love you
in a language
I never understood."

Cool Like That

Ivan Solén

"Beautiful and empty
and gone with the tide.
I said 'that's fine' —
I was dying inside."

Cool Like That

Ivan Solén

"I was never cool.
I just loved you
like that."

Cool Like That

Ivan Solén

"Every apology I ever gave
had an exit
built inside."

Say It Sober

Ivan Solén

"Pride is a poison
I've been
drinking neat."

Say It Sober

Ivan Solén

"I hurt you.
And I knew it
when I did it."

Say It Sober

Ivan Solén

"I'm not saying
I want you back.
I'm saying
I never said goodbye."

Still Wearing Your Sweater

Ivan Solén

"Grief looks different
on a man who's been told
to keep it moving."

Still Wearing Your Sweater

Ivan Solén

"I just got good
at pretending
you were gone."

Still Wearing Your Sweater

Ivan Solén

"Just a bunch
of tired men saying
'me too, at last.'"

Open Season

Ivan Solén

"Every wall we built
was just a door
we hadn't found."

Open Season

Ivan Solén

"Step into the light.
Step into the light.
STEP INTO
THE LIGHT."

Open Season

Ivan Solén

"The bravest thing
you'll do
is just exist."

Enough Man

Ivan Solén

"To the man who's been
running on empty —
you can rest."

Enough Man

Ivan Solén

"They just never told you.
But I'm telling you now.
You were always
enough."

Enough Man

Ivan Solén

"Soft is not
the opposite of strong.
Soft is what you are
when you've been
strong too long."

Soft Boy

Ivan Solén

"I buy myself flowers
when the week's
been rough."

Soft Boy

Ivan Solén

"You want a revolution?
Here I am —
the softest, strongest
version of a man."

Soft Boy
