i am happy if you’re happy
you are not but we’re still laughing
clapping for the clinking cups
they’re completely drained so i fill them up
a long goodbye is what i’m after
something solid to make me matter
the streets are flatter where i am from
i’m flattered to be here at all
and every time i check the clock it’s every time, it’s never wrong
i wanted to save time to spend or save someone to spend it with
but “spending” implies ownership and “saving” implies an ounce of courage
so i close my eyes and count to ten, it’s 10:19 again and again
a description i can’t write
as it would mock the subtle style
of presence in the shakes and shatters
brilliance at my hands battered
there’s joy in knowing the coming calm
it’s okay to smile when there’s something wrong
it’s all so small, significant
the train pulls in after the wind
and every time i check the clock it’s every time, it’s never wrong
i wanted to save time to spend or save someone to spend it with
but “spending” implies ownership and “saving” implies an ounce of courage
so i close my eyes and count to ten, it’s 10:19 again and again
there’s only beauty when you’re fighting for it, endless cycles are in orbit
there’s only beauty when you’re fighting for it, endless cycles are in orbit
there’s only beauty when you’re fighting for it, endless cycles are in orbit
there’s only beauty when you’re fighting for it, floored by the feeling of the ground
can’t deny it now
and every time i check the clock it’s every time, it’s never wrong
i wanted to save time to spend or save someone to spend it with
but “spending” implies ownership and “saving” implies an ounce of courage
so i close my eyes and count to ten, it’s 10:19 again and again
Stumbled across this great band because of Martha the band and I just love their sometimes melancholy garage-sound.
Also I like the acoustic songs.
I still remember seeing them live in my hometown when they were touring with Erica Freas and asked them for a setlist to have something to remember the great concert.
It´s hanging on my wall since that day :) Ninehundredninetynine
