Thom Kunz Nice to stumble on this album from the Port City. Fast and melodic at times - and slow summer night grooves and anthems like ('Sadie'). Favorite track: Sadie.

I don’t wanna talk about blame The rain The same damn things again Shame Our grades Take it out back, start it over again We stayed up all night long until our bodies came back home again
2.
Burner Phone 02:02
Were you looking to the stars to explain everything? Like “it’s not you, it’s monogamy” You know my money’s fake, but you take it anyway You’re on a search for meaning in a summer mistake Do you think the birds you see signify anything? Are they leading you towards an epiphany? But you flip the tape to let side B play Fill your cup up with coke and tell them it’s ok Tell them it’s ok To leave their cars in the rain But I was causing the pain
3.
Settle down I can’t focus on anything at all Steady ground Like is the man who is happy tall? But I don’t wanna say It’s not gonna change Pregnant pause Were you zoning out, or were you reading along? Fix your flaws You might just do better with some hair of the dog You keep me waiting You drive me crazy You taste like coffee when you kiss me And your room always smells like weed We get so fucked up when we work all day Drown it out White noise machine Wasted days Standing out in socks just watching the rain Plan to stray We just sit at home all goddamn day

Salamander 02:26
So I woke up in your bed again We laughed it off you drove me home that day Better yet you should’ve kicked me out Bitter memories from a fold-out couch Always, always this regret Swims around my head, always swims around my head Alarm clock piercing through a dream It unravels like a thread, unravels like a thread I kinda thought I’d get away with it Haphazard night on a nostalgia kick But you were waiting up to let me in We always finish up where we begin
5.
Sadie 03:11
Vacant, wasted, kicking over china like a raging bull I want you back, but I can’t imagine facing down the truth I want it all back, Sadie I want it all back, baby You and I would walk alone through the madness of our hearts, bleeding stones Time for changes to flood out all the holes in our memory And distort the past like romanticized black and white TV I want it all back, Sadie I want it all back, baby You and I would walk alone through the fire of our own burning Rome
6.
I’ve got this image of you in a disposable flash Slightly red-eyed and over-exposed And you’re leaning on me Like you’re swept off your feet Trying to hold a pose Where did you go after the show? You're spending every day the talk of the town You’re always running around You never settle down Were you hiding in the bathroom, Leaning on the sink, While I was spacing out in my car, Trying to finally think? Where did you go after the show?
7.
Swedish Fish 01:38
I like your dark lipstick colored like Swedish fish That half-smirk in your smile I like the grace of your fingertips, sway of your silhouette I’ve been thinking for a while About you Hold on, until the lights are ready to go
8.
In a 5am drive from the mountains to the coast, Press your nose against the window and say you hate me most ‘Til we’re rubbing thighs together like we’re crickets in the night And silence wraps around us after our last fight I don’t know where you’re going But I know where you are now It always gets worse before it gets better I could try now, but I won’t forget it It always gets worse before it gets better Now I’m taking notes in back of the classroom But keeping my eyes on the door Wondering why it’s so fleeting Why I don’t want anything anymore And I really think I’m too young To be going down this road So I will wait for you in the spring Like symbolic renewal (or a fling) And I won’t know what to do about the past But I think I’ll stay the night here and try to make it last
9.
I was lying in the sand I was crashing in the waves I was floating through the air But I couldn’t make you stay We were sitting on the couch When you started tearing up There were soft and simple sounds When we were coming undone But no, I can't make you love me I can't make you happy I can't turn those grey skies I know we both have pasts And we have strange and selfish ways I could try to make you laugh Or I could try to make you stay I don’t wanna write songs To try to right wrongs
