lyrics

-- Lyrics --

Do you want me to love myself
More than I love anyone else
I tire of me sometimes
Just like I tire of you
Only I’m stuck with this
Can’t leave this body, this voice
Just momentary distance
When I close my eyes for silence

Walking down the street I felt such joy to be alive
This morning I swear, there’s a truck idling beside my bedside
Oh the contrast
I run with it
I work with it
Get familiar with the seasons of my life
The mountains I’m asked to climb and climb and climb
The constant clichés that repeat themselves
Till I no longer ask, Why?

There is no reason
Just breath
And a beating of the heart
One foot in front of the other
Then the other
That’s all

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
