Stick Season is a heartfelt track written and sung by the American singer Noah Kahan. This song was released in 2022 as the title of the Stick Season album. The lyrics are focused on topics like losing someone, being heartbroken, and how hard it can be to get through tough times in your life.
It’s obvious that this song was written based on some personal grief experiences, changes, and longing to connect with other people. Many people felt that connection while listening to this lyrical masterpiece, which is an emotional melodic trip into autumn metaphor and transformation. All that longing everyone feels when summer goes away couldn’t be portrayed better than in these verses.
I found out about Noah through this song release, but his deep vocal style accompanied with emotionally powerful lyrics encapsulated in a folk/pop-ish scenery definitely kept him ahead of many other artists now.”

Stick Season Lyrics By Noah Kahan
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
‘Cause your voice trailed off exactly as you passed my exit sign
You kept on drivin’ 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 somethin’ even smoking weed does not replace
And I am terrified of weather ’cause I see you when it rains
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, I am no longer funny, ’cause 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
Oh, that’ll have to do
My other half was you
I hope this pain’s just passin’ through
But I doubt it
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
