lyrics

The empty lines of this notebook
The dry smell of dust
The cracks of the street that winter shook
You’ll be fine my dear
Now now, hush

As the rust eats the sides of my car
I am empty, afraid and jealous
Spring slowly unfolds its arms
I sink in, alone
Warm, denying trust

Turn away
Leave slowly
Then come back to tell me how I lack ambition
I’ll sit still
Tired and bored
Then tell you how you’re using that word wrong

So much of me wants so much of you
But your arms seem closed now
And soon we’ll be too hot to talk about anything else than the weather
That’s how it’s done down here
Baby don’t you know that by now

Turn away
Leave slowly
Then come back to tell me how I lack ambition
I’ll sit still
Tired and bored
Then tell you how you’re using that word wrong

I’ll keep falling apart in your arms
And you’ll hate me for that
I’ll keep singing too loud, always too loud
And you’ll hate me for that

The songs show a poignant songwriting that can be related to Bon Iver’s latest album’s approach or The Microphones’ lo-fi sound. We can find a pop artist with great sensibility and an undeniable talent for texture and original arrangements. ... more
