lyrics

Rainclouds parting raked up the heaps of stars
In a summer fading quickly
Burning ozone lingered like heavy fog
And we stumbled down the sidewalk
Buzzing neon the dangling pocket watch
I was ripped from an amnesia
Doe eyed. Dreamstate. Phantasmagoria.
Swaying slow and cinematic

And we were young, fast friends and faster lovers
To know the night was to live in it forever

Sequined stardust sultry in retrospect
With a thin, tawdry nostalgia
Careless. Clumsy. Mishandled momentum.
In a box of tacky keepsakes

But I was young and flippant with a goodbye
So quick to shrug off there won’t always be a next time

I don’t really want to talk now, baby
I don’t want to think about it anymore
Sooner or later this will all start fading
We’ll have all the time we need to mourn

If I could ever turn the clock back, maybe
I could make it like we never met at all
And I could get around the slow decaying
Of knowing everything’s my fault

All regrets and unresolved suspense meet the same sad ends in time
So I’ll wait here till the coast is clear and you’re miles out of sight

Found this album at a time I was in the habit of having a bad dream about you and me. It's great, the song's great, the band's great, corn dogs are probably mid at best. vincentavatar

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world. But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
