lyrics

you announced to the stadium that
you knew that you were leaving and you’d never come back
even for love
it wasn’t enough
and now you’re living by whatever you’ve read
if you wanted to escape then you should have just said
go to rome for the week
cos you never there with me

i was trying to smile
but got blood on the tiles
it was taken away with the evidence
i thought i was awake
must have been a mistake
now you’ve run out of patience

i don’t wanna wait a year to feel better
taking everything to forget ya
living in echos so mellow
another nightmare
i don’t want the hate and anger they gave me
all pills and percocets daily
numbing and running to nothing
just another nightmare

if i ran then i didn’t get far
just a little plus one to the really big star
mothering me
begging you not to leave
roll your eyes and you call me bruce wayne
say with all my years of therapy i should be mark twain
will i know when i'm dead
if you beckon me back to bed

i was trying to smile
but got blood on the tiles
it was taken away with the evidence
shouldn’t talk about that
fell asleep on your lap
as you ran out of patience

i don’t wanna wait a year to feel better
taking everything to forget ya
living in echos so mellow
another nightmare
i don’t want the hate and anger they gave me
all pills and percocets daily
numbing and running to nothing
just another nightmare

they don’t have to look like you do if they know

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
