lyrics

I can feel the delicate balance shifting
The brass pan scales are starting to quiver
And every single letter that we stitched into our skin
Has faded now like your memory

And I swore on the greatest city skylines
That we’d make it through the year if it killed us.
The lights above the corner cascading down your face
They would carry us halfway across the world

And I promised her I could love her again
Like at 17, lying on my bedroom floor
Dropping darts through foreign maps in magazines
And how many times did we cut ourselves wide open?
Within the walls, inside the house with the lights out
And said we already felt the zephyrs

And I swore on the greatest city skylines
That we’d make it through the year if it killed us.
The lights above the corner were heavier than all the concrete
Crashing down, down, down

And we tried reviving something that we lost somewhere out there
Cause we were so tall; we were more than this and we’d never be torn down
And we tried reminding ourselves that the distance was just time and direction
But your head started turning, and I could tell that there was someone on your mind.

All the Wine recommends:

Dam the Night
by Badwater Sound

Rock 'n' roll for heavy hearts who still believe a better life is only a late-night drive away. Badwater Sound sing and play themselves near to death on this album, which you'll feel in your gut. All the Wine

Holy Shit
by Davey Dynamite and Friends

Hands down one of Davey's best works yet, "Holy Shit" hits you like a bus with ferocious, anthemic protest songs that hold just enough grace to capture your heart. All the Wine
go to album
Wind Instrument
by Kali Masi

Kali Masi (fka The Howl) make their LP with their darkly introspective "Wind Instrument." Touching on lost love and self-reflection, the band drives forceful yet touching blends of emo and punk rock. All the Wine
