lyrics

-- Lyrics --

I am so distracted
From the path I could be on
One with hearts wide open
No fear of a scary man behind the door
Cause I still have pain
I’m stuck in old ways
The ways that I’m thinking
Keeps me against brick walls

He’s staring back at me
Snarling back at me

Here on my two feet
I’m just trying to beat
All the fears that hold me back
The fear of men
Don’t wanna fear them

Wake up, wake up
I’m doing all the labour
All your heavy lifting
Get your shit together
We’re getting really tired
Of all your excuses
Cause we still have pain
You’re stuck in old ways
The ways that you’re thinking
Keeps us against brick walls

Here on my two feet
I’m just trying to beat
All the fears that hold me back
The fear of men
Don’t wanna fear them

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
