I remember laying in that football field with you
for hours we'd escape whatever we needed to
please remember these if it gets bad and I disappear again
please remember these and know I'll always come back for you my friend
I'm sorry I complain about the same things
but my fears won't let me go
they careen inside my dreams and stick me in a loop
will you remember me in a year or two
I can't be half of a happy healthy anything when
it gives me something to lose
cuz everyone is holding hands and everyone is making plans and
my trash is full of bloody tissues
I remember wading towards that waterfall with you
for hours we'd look for what we never got to
please remember these if it gets bad and I disappear again
please remember these and know I'll always come back for you my friend
We've both become masters of forgetting
cuz holding it in is so much less work than working it out
but I think our reckless decisions
have helped us keep the youth that we'd have lost
and if you listened to the things that you have written
the way that you listened to the world
you wouldn't be so scared of losing or forgetting
you'd realize they're wonderful
I don't know why water and love mean the same thing to me
like a river sucking me in, or a day at the beach
but neither of those last, you need to come up for air
but my love for you is like that knowledge that water is there
I remember talking till the sun came up with you
for hours we'd talk about whatever we wanted to
I'll remember these if the cold takes you away from me again
I'll remember these and know you'll always come back for me my friend
I remember laying in that football field with you
for hours we'd escape whatever we needed to
please remember these if it gets bad and I disappear again
please remember these and know I'll always come back for you my friend
The six songs on this record combine the brass-heavy sounds of jazz and afrobeat with pulsing dance beats to intoxicating effect. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 25, 2020
