I know I shouldn't say I love you
especially when I know you don't care
I know we don't talk like we used to
I thought we made a good pair
and i'll try to be
anything but me
if you need then i'll be your relief
even though i'm nothing more but stupid me
I heard lately you've been looking somber
trying hard not to fall apart
sometimes I wish I could just call you
and have a little heart to heart
and i'll try to be anything but me
if you need then i'll be your relief
even though i'm nothing more but stupid me
45 years from now
i'm not quite sure how
you will pick me up
from an airport by your house
you'll look me in the eyes
you'll be fine
and I love you the same as back in 2009
and i'll try to be anything but me
if you need then i'll be your relief
even though i'm nothing more but stupid be
Following the release of their EP Hollow Joy in 2015, Andy Alvarez and company continue to provide fantastic lo-fi indie tunes that meet at an intersection of youth and sincerity, yet matures both in lyricism and musicianship since their last full-length release. One of my most anticipated albums of the year, this doesn't disappoint.
