love note 03:06
Coffee grinds Coat my hands and leave them Cracked and dry But I’m just trying to make it Through the line Could you repeat that just one more time My shirt still smells like the incense you were burning at your place I’m clinging to the memory and details of the day when caught you Smiling at a dog on the sidewalk and I melted And when I woke alone in the morning I could tell that The lipstick on my cheek Was a love note you left while I was asleep Girl off my dreams Pitched a tent On your bed at two am “The city’s so stressful let’s pretend Tonight we’re in the woods again” The song you played that nights still running circles in my head I’m clinging to the memory and details of the day when

stay 03:09
Your face in the golden hour, I swear it’s simply beaming There must be something funny in that book you’re reading I watch from your lap I know this glow fades fast And I know that I should go I’ve worn out my welcome I know that I should go but I wish that I could just stay If I could just stay everything would fade My teeth clench against the chill I guess summer’s almost over Why did I leave my jacket nights have gotten colder we stay in the park Hard to read your face in the dark

Do you remember when we snuck into the public pool back in waterloo? Hopped the fence, swam under the moonlight It was such a fun night We almost got caught Ran so fast from the security guard That picture made me laugh of your shirt on backwards, hiding in the junkyard Now the ink has faded to an unfamiliar hue Darling what is making those brown eyes of yours look so blue? So blue Your hair’s so soft Feels so nice to touch, your growing out your buzzcut something’s off Your voice is sounding rough, like you’re choking up What are you running from so fast? Can I come along? Do we have to reach an impasse?

afterglow 03:15
I’ll bet you look so pretty in the sunlight Bet those blue skies shine so bright in your eyes But I may never know I guess I’ll never know No We’re so easy, so uncomplicated Don’t want to call you babe but I’ll call you at 2 am Don’t want you on my mind You were in my dreams again This is nice, let’s keep it uncomplicated Can’t remember after all this time These walls between us were they built by your hands or mine I’ll bask in the afterglow Then I gotta go Home Glad we’re easy, so uncomplicated I don’t want to fall in love but I’ll follow you to bed Glad we’re easy So uncomplicated Cause I don’t want to fall in love

brick wall 03:10
Your plants are dying Is it worth the fight? Hard to live with so little sunlight Every window we can afford Faces a brick wall The world has not been fair to you my love No life has not been kind The world has not been fair to you my love But I’m so very glad you’re a part of mine You curse the hands that hold you down below your debt, feels like you’re drowning I wish they’d let you catch your breath my darling And we dream fondly of the rent in Waterloo But our friends who stayed say it’s getting bad there too I see you trying to let in the light I can help to lift those blinds But every window we can afford faces a brick wall
6.
The thread wears until it snaps It’s something new every day Ecological collapse under the tension and the strain Watch another market crash Another cycle of poverty and pain Black shirts or red hats, there’s no difference if the sentiment’s the same We just want another way: the certainty of bygone days As we watch the threads unfurl, I can’t face this brave new world A shadow’s clawing at our neck It nips and lashes at our heels Can we outrun the fascist threat When every day it gets more real There’s so much to care about Every story is a tragedy Attention is thinning out Can we keep up this energy?

don't change 03:34
I’d like to imagine that if i really wanted I could go back and things would be the same Your still lying there in your bed under the poster of the album you introduced me to Frozen in time your still scraping the windshield, and laughing at me idly standing by You never cared about those little things Don't change, while i'm away for a couple years Don't change, i need you to stay right here I’m up in toronto the rent is nearly double and i've looked back ever since i came I miss the bands we played in, puttin shows on in the basement Singing our songs like we used to do Even through it all your still in the doorframe laughing at me spray painting our wall You never cared about the little things
8.
grand river 03:15
Saw a ghost in the passenger side Flickered ‘cross your face in the passing lights While I missed my turn You asked did I not see the sign And in the dark you look just like her From afar, I’d swear it was her Close your door and I’m taken back to a joke I wish I’d known would be our last I still hold my breath when I cross those tracks
