Kahan has cited artists like The Lumineers, Vance Joy, and Hozier as influences, while developing a sound that is distinctly his own. His career has been marked by a series of successful singles, extensive touring, and notable collaborations, including a highly popular remix of "Stick Season" featuring Post Malone, which further broadened his appeal.

Lyrics:
Breathing in, breathing out
How you been?
Settled down?
 
Feeling right?
Feeling proud?
How’re your kids?
Where are they now?
 
You build a boat
You build a life 
You lose your friends 
You lose your wife
 
You settle in
To routine
Where are you?
What does it mean?
 
If I get too close
and I’m not how you hoped
Forgive my northern attitude 
Oh, I was raised out in the cold
 
If the sun don't rise
‘till the summertime 
Forgive my northern attitude 
Oh, I was raised on little light 
 
Bought some shit
Search online
Getting lost
Getting high
 
All alone
Late in life
Scared to live
Scared to die
 
You build a boat
You build a life
You lose your kids
You lose your wife 
 
Settle down
Feeling lost
Getting stoned
Then kicking rocks
 
If I get too close
and I’m not how you hoped
Forgive my northern attitude 
Oh, I was raised out in the cold
 
If the sun don't rise
‘till the summertime 
Forgive my northern attitude 
Oh, I was raised on little light 
 
If you get too close
and I’m not how you hoped
Forgive my northern attitude 
Oh, I was raised out in the cold
 
If the sun don't shine
‘till the summertime 
Forgive my northern attitude 
Oh, I was raised on little light

Lyrics: 
I can’t recall the last time that we talked
About anything but lookin’ out for cops
We got cigarette burns on the same side of our hands
But we ain't friends, we’re just morons
Who broke skin in the same spot

But I’ve never seen you take a turn that wide
And I’m high enough to still care if I die
So I tried to read the thoughts that you worked overtime to stop
You said fuck off, and I said nothing for a while

You know I think about you all the time
And my deep misunderstanding of your life
And how bad it must have been for you back then
And how hard it was to keep it all inside

I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich
I hope you’re scared of only ordinary shit
Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin
And not your soul, and what he might do with it

You inched yourself across the great divide
While we drove aimlessly along the Twin State line
I heard nothin' but the bass in every ballad that you'd play
While you swore to God the singer read your mind
But the world is scared of hesitatin' things
Yeah, they only shoot the birds who cannot sing
And I'm finally aware of how shitty and unfair
It was to stare ahead like everything was fine

You know I think about you all the time
And my deep misunderstanding of your life
And how bad it must have been for you back then
And how hard it was to keep it all inside

I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich
I hope you’re scared of only ordinary shit
Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin
And not your soul, and what he might do with it

Rage, in small ways
Did you wish that I could know?
You'd fade, to some place
I wasn't brave enough to go

I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich
I hope you’re scared of only ordinary shit
Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin
And not your soul, and what he might do with it
Aaah, ooh

I hope you threw a brick right into that stained glass
I hope you’re with someone who isn’t scared to ask
I hope that you’re not losing sleep about what’s next
Or about your soul, and what he might do with it

Lyrics:
There’s no way out of an angry crowd without stepping on some toes
They’ll scream your name till the lights go out then they feed you to the wolves 
It’s hard to say who you’ll be when they let those big red curtains close
You know this
Cuz you told me so

I bet you forgot

Black heels in the summertime
Dad’s bad cooking though you’d be polite
Honey now you got a look that I don’t recognize
You pulled me aside 
And you said

To know me 
Is to hate me
Is to hate what I’ve become

It’s to watch me 
As I’m falling
From that ladder’s last rung

It’s to feel it 
Like a secret 
You can’t keep in
I’m not the way I was
I’m not the way I was

Were you freed within, did you leave your skin?
Are you tethered in your doubt?
Have you breathed it in till it’s medicine that you cannot live without?
Cuz you came back home a fuckin’ alien and we’re stuck here on the ground
Call your mom back kid before the high comes down

Cuz you forgot

Black heels in the summertime
Dirt road smoking on a Friday night
Honey now you got a look that I don’t recognize
You pulled me aside and you said

To know me 
Is to hate me
Is to hate what I’ve become

It’s to watch me 
As I’m falling
From that ladder’s last rung

It’s to feel it 
Like a secret 
You can’t keep in
I’m not the way I was
I’m not the way I was

But to feel it 
To see it
The look in all their eyes

Is to breathe in
To be in
The good grace of that Godlight
To have it in your hands
The one thing you wanted all your life 
“It’s all mine” 

It’s a hole I can’t fill 
It’s a curse I can’t break
And I gave my soul to it
And it cannot be reclaimed
I was younger then
I was younger then
I was young 

To know me 
Is to hate me
Is to hate what I’ve become

It’s to watch me 
As I’m falling
From that ladder’s last rung

It’s to feel it 
Like a secret 
You can’t keep in
I’m not the way I was
I’m not the way I was

But to feel it 
To see it
The look in all their eyes

Is to breathe in
To be in
The good grace of that Godlight
It’s to have it in your hands
The one thing you wanted all your life 
“It’s all mine” 

And to feel it
To see it
The look in all your eyes
Is to breathe in
To be in
The good grace of this Godlight
It’s to have it 
In your hands
The one thing I wanted my life
It’s all mine
