Intro:
As you promised me that I
Was more than
All the miles combined
You must have had yourself
A change of heart like
Halfway through the drive
Because your voice trailed
Off exactly as
You passed my exit sign
Kept on driving straight
And left our future to the right
Now I am stuck between my
Anger and the blame
That I can&#039;t face
And memories are something
Even smoking weed does not replace
And I am terrified of weather
&#039;cause I see you when it rains
And doc told me to travel
But there&#039;s COVID on the planes
And I,  love Vermont
But it&#039;s the season of the sticks
And I,   saw your mom
She forgot that I existed
And it&#039;s,   half my fault but
I just like to play the victim
I&#039;ll drink   alcohol &#039;til my
Friends come home for Christmas
And I&#039;ll,   dream each night
Of some version of you
That I,   might not have but
I did not lose
Now you&#039;re    tire tracks and
One pair of shoes
And I&#039;m   split in half but
That&#039;ll   have to do
So I thought that if I piled
Something good on all my bad
That I could cancel out the
Darkness I inherited from dad
No and I&#039;m    no longer funny
But I miss the way you laugh
You once called me forever
Now you still can&#039;t call me back
And I,  love Vermont
But it&#039;s the season of the sticks
And I,   saw your mom
She forgot that I existed
And it&#039;s,   half my fault but
I just like to play the victim
I&#039;ll drink   alcohol &#039;til my
Friends come home for Christmas
And I&#039;ll,   dream each night
Of some version of you
That I,   might not have but
I did not lose
Now you&#039;re    tire tracks and
One pair of shoes
And I&#039;m   split in half but
That&#039;ll   have to do
Bridge:
Oh that&#039;ll have to do
My other half was you
I hope this pain&#039;s just passing
Through
But I doubt it
Bridge:
And I,  love Vermont
But it&#039;s the season of the sticks
And I,   saw your mom
She forgot that I existed
And it&#039;s,   half my fault but
I just like to play the victim
I&#039;ll drink   alcohol &#039;til my
Friends come home for Christmas
And I&#039;ll,   dream each night
Of some version of you
That I,   might not have but
I did not lose
Now you&#039;re    tire tracks and
One pair of shoes
And I&#039;m   split in half but
That&#039;ll   have to do
Have to do

The story behind the song

"Stick Season" grew from a moment of insecurity, with Noah Kahan initially sharing just a verse online. The song is deeply rooted in his home state of Vermont, capturing the feeling of that specific place and time of year. Kahan wondered if such a personal story would resonate widely, but its themes of change and reflection struck a chord with listeners everywhere. Released as the lead single from his 2022 album Stick Season, it carries the weight of looking back and moving forward.

Stick Season

by Noah Kahan

Lyrics & chords · Original key

Intro:

As you promised me that I

Was more than

All the miles combined

You must have had yourself

A change of heart like

Halfway through the drive

Because your voice trailed

Off exactly as

You passed my exit sign

Kept on driving straight

And left our future to the right

Now I am stuck between my

Anger and the blame

That I can't face

And memories are something

Even smoking weed does not replace

And I am terrified of weather

'cause I see you when it rains

And doc told me to travel

But there's COVID on the planes

And I, love Vermont

But it's the season of the sticks

And I, saw your mom

She forgot that I existed

And it's, half my fault but

I just like to play the victim

I'll drink alcohol 'til my

Friends come home for Christmas

And I'll, dream each night

Of some version of you

That I, might not have but

I did not lose

Now you're tire tracks and

One pair of shoes

And I'm split in half but

That'll have to do

So I thought that if I piled

Something good on all my bad

That I could cancel out the

Darkness I inherited from dad

No and I'm no longer funny

But I miss the way you laugh

You once called me forever

Now you still can't call me back

And I, love Vermont

But it's the season of the sticks

And I, saw your mom

She forgot that I existed

And it's, half my fault but

I just like to play the victim

I'll drink alcohol 'til my

Friends come home for Christmas

And I'll, dream each night

Of some version of you

That I, might not have but

I did not lose

Now you're tire tracks and

One pair of shoes

And I'm split in half but

That'll have to do

Bridge:

Oh that'll have to do

My other half was you

I hope this pain's just passing

Through

But I doubt it

Bridge:

And I, love Vermont

But it's the season of the sticks

And I, saw your mom

She forgot that I existed

And it's, half my fault but

I just like to play the victim

I'll drink alcohol 'til my

Friends come home for Christmas

And I'll, dream each night

Of some version of you

That I, might not have but

I did not lose

Now you're tire tracks and

One pair of shoes

And I'm split in half but

That'll have to do

Have to do
