lyrics

You can say we tried
In 1999
Lower East Side
Just like how pride
Comes before a fall

And talking through the mist
you were just a kid
You find out quick
You know nothing
Something you won’t admit

You cut your bangs in the bathroom stall
I wrote my name on the mirror and the wall
You came back from wherever you been
Can’t believe the state you’re in
City miles, looking like a ghost
Translucent light
“What’s wrong, got you down, is your shirt too tight?”
“Ah Jessie don’t, leave him alone
He’s sensitive right?”

The lights can be sharp in the darkness
I hold my drink
It’s his life regardless
I’m not his keeper
I fight this feeling all over

And he can push through the crowd
But they will shout him down
You reap what you sow
That’s easy to know
Hard to figure out

I cut my bangs in the bathroom stall
You wrote your name on the Q train ah
City miles looking like a ghost
Translucent light
Coming down on the river tonight

Love those quiet intertwined guitars echoed by the brittle voice harmonies. Thoughtful and intricate. The sort of music that rewards repeated listening. Dave Underwood
