i know that it seems hard right now
but i promise that we'll make it thru
i know that it seems like a lot right now
but i promise that you'll make it thru
i know that it seems hard right now
but i believe so strongly in you
i know that it seem seems like its never gonna end
but i promise that we'll make it thru
( indistinguishable )
i know that it seems hard right now
but i'll try as long as you do
i know we've all got our difference
but i promise that we'll make it thru
i know that it seems like a lot right now
but i promise that you'll make it thru
i know that it seems hard right now
but i believe so strongly in you
i know that it seems hard right now
but i promise that we'll make it thru
i know that we've all got our differences

(wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo)
(i think it's about time baby)
i'm crawling out of bed
in nothing but my underwear
cause its hot here
still gettin used to waking up on my own
and everything that comes with being alone
i'm crawling off of the couch
for the third night
cause i learned to much
from reading by the candle light
don't know how i'll survive
i think it's bout time
well i spend some of mine
wasting away with you
i think it's bout time
well i spend some of mine
doing the things i wanna do
and there with youuu
(wooooooooo)
they're all with you
(woooooo)
the fogs here to stay
it's gettin thicker every day
and it's dark out
still gettin used to taking care of myself
don't think i can find my way out
i think it's bout time
well i spend some of mine
wasting away with you
i think it's bout time
well i spend some of mine
doing the things i wanna do
and there with youuu
(wooooooooo)
they're all with you
(woooooo)

i'm waking up on the wrong side of the bed
you're sleeping in again
you sleep perfectly fine
you don't have those thoughts that make you cave and break
until there's nothing left to say
lie straight to my face and tell me
you didn't mean it that way baby
it was just how the colors lit up your room
hey hey
ho ho
words lost in translation
we lost our place in the dark of it all
we lost it in the dark we'll never find our way out
we lost it in the dark we'll never find our way out
never find our way out
lie straight to my face and tell me
you didn't mean it that way baby
it was just how the colors lit up your room
(and i swore to myself that day that i would never return to those sacred lands, but the water is rising, my body is sinking and im struggling to find the strength to swim to the surface)
NEVER FIND OUR WAYYY OUTTTT
(oouu ouu ouu ouu ouuu ouu ouu)
(oouu ouu ouu ouu ouuu ouu ouu)
you sleep perfectly fine
yeah you sleep fine,
sleep fine
sleep fine
lie straight to my face and tell me
you didn't mean it that way at all
lie straight to my face and tell me
you didn't mean it that way baby
it was just how the colors lit up your room

Red Light Blues

now you're nothing more than a memory
but the way the picture look gives me the feeling
when your heart sinks real low
barbed wire 'round my throat
sorta feel like i'm drowning when i'm thinking of you
i see that building across the street
all worn down, old, torn up and dusty
i compare it to me, the only thing that makes sense anymore
when i see you next to me, i'll keep to myself
keep my hands in my pockets but my eyes are watchin'
pretending not to see you, who looks just like me
same hair, same shoes, same everything
i'll run to the rooftops and i'll run to my friends
i'll run to whatever makes sense to me
there's somethin' callin' to me
someone callin' to me
just haven't picked up yet
so i'll
retrace my steps
(retrace my steps)
back to the places i've lost myself
to dig deeper to find a way out
i'm keepin' to myself
i'm a hundred miles deep in my own little world
no one's talking, nothing happens,
and i don't have to make eye contact
with people walking by me in my dreams
but now i'm bleeding and there's no one to stop me from bleeding out
stuck at the red light, its not changing soon
now i'm stressed cause i've got a bunch of shit i need to do
what if it never changes
what if i never move
you're right i've just got those red light blues
(red light blues)
so i'll
collect my thoughts, connect the dots
form the picture from the words in my head cause i'm
diggin' deeper to find a way out
i'm still looking for myself
so i'll
retrace my steps
back to the places i've lost myself
to dig deeper to find a way out
i'm still keepin' to (lookin' for) myself
i've been stuck in the same fuckin' place since day one
i should finally take some time and learn how to shape up
cause with you not around, things started shaking up
i never felt so alone i never felt so cold
i need someone to hold these tired bones
cause at the end of the night you're the one i wanna come home too
so i'll retrace my steps back to you
so i'll
collect my thoughts, connect the dots
form the picture from the words in my head cause i'm
diggin' deeper to find a way out
i'm still looking for myself
so i'll
retrace my steps
back to the places i've lost myself
to dig deeper to find a way out
(things started shaking up)
i'm still lookin' for myself

In My Dreams

Ohhhhhhh
i wanna run away
from all the bad decisions that i've made
over the past four months
but i know they will stay with me
until i take myself or someone takes me to the grave
and i know i should say
say i'm sorry for the ways i let you down
but all these chains around my neck
won't let the words out 'till i turn old and grey
know just what i need
seen it in my dreams
you're right here with me
and an extra hot grilled cheese
i need to run away
from this place
and the way i cannot change all of these bad habits
that i have created
sinking softly and slowly just out of reach
these days are going by
way to slow but not to fast
because the good things go and the bad things last
but i promise you i'll make my good things
your good things too
know just what i need
seen it in my dreams
you're right here with me
and an extra hot grilled cheese
(extra hot baby
all the toppings
bacon
three types of cheese
oh and make it on sour dough
take my card)
wooaaooaaahhh
wooaaahhooaahoohoohoohh
woooaahhoahhoo
wooahhooahooahoohoo
seen it in my dreamssss

you know, i think this is gonna be the start to a book
the longest one that i've ever written.
and i'll call the first chapter mass frustration.
cause have you ever done the same thing every god damn day for months straight?
maybe that's why i'm going insane
but at least i'm writing it down
they told me be careful what i wish for
(listen to the words of the songs i'm singing)
they shoulda told me be careful who i wished for
(maybe then you'll understand the reasons why i'm sleeping in)
they did tell me be careful what i wish for
(listen to the words of the songs i'm singing)
they shoulda told me be careful who i wished for
(maybe then you'll understand the reasons why i'm sleeping in)
wait
man, i did all this in an hour?
that's gotta be some kind of world record
for the most meaningless shit written down in
a three subject notebook
i mean, listen to the next fucking verse
i'm looking for some food
i'm hungry as shit
i'm tearin' up the pantry only find some stale chips
now i move to the fridge
week old beef and bacon bits
something's telling me my hankering wont be fixed
(dammit, guess i gotta go to kroger)
they told me be careful what i wish for
(listen to the words of the songs i'm singing)
they shoulda told me be careful who i wished for
(maybe then you'll understand the reasons why i'm sleeping in)
they did tell me be careful what i wish for
(listen to the words of the songs i'm singing)
they shoulda told me be careful who i wished for
(maybe then you'll understand the reasons why i'm sleeping in)
alright guys i'm calling it
(indistinct whistling)
had a dream last night
well i was drowning from the inside of my bedroom
and your here too
so i swam right out the window
to touch the stars above
but i burned my face
going on that interstellar race
and i don't know how to get back to where i was
sometimes when i'm all alone i like to dream of me and you
but i know i've got a lot to do like fix my attitude
had a dream last night
well there were purple flowers
pulling at my sleeves
oh they were begging me to leave
so i ran right out the back door
and grabbed the earth below
and i held on tight cause i'm not sure when the next time is
i'm coming back home
wooaaaaaahhhhooaaaahh
sometimes when i'm all alone i like to dream of me and you
but i know i've got a lot to do like fix my attitude

sit back
relax
the past two years have taught you
fear is not the enemy this time
well things didn't work out
and now it's starting to feel
like maybe this whole year
will go to waste on shitty beer
take it slow
i'll breathe you in
just promise you'll be gentle from
the inside of my lungs
they're blacker than they should have been
take me slow
and breathe me in
i can't promise that i'll be gentle
from the inside of your lungs
they're blacker than they should have been by now
they're blacker than they should have been
so say your goodbyes
i'm saying mine
you said that i can call if i'm not alright
i think i'll be just fine
its just things didn't work out
and now its harder to get back
please just take back those
words you said
take it slow
i'll breathe you in
just promise you'll be gentle from
the inside of my lungs
they're blacker than they should have been
take me slow
and breathe me in
but i can't promise that i'll be gentle
from the inside of your lungs
they're blacker than they should have been by now
they're blacker than they should have been
never felt so alone
i've never felt so cold
i never felt so alone
i never felt so
never felt so cold
i've never felt so alone
never felt so cold
never felt so alone
never felt this alone
take me slow
and breathe me in
i can't promise that i'll be gentle
from the inside of your lungs
they're blacker than they should have been by now
they're blacker than they should have been

Such a good EP! each song just gets stuck in your head like a parasite, I love it so much Also didn’t expect to relate to Pretty Boi as much as I do…

supported by 4 fans who also own “Goodness, Gracious”
This is what I remember emo and pop punk music *sounding* like in the 90s and 2000s, but not what it actually sounded like. basking in the glow is an emotionally mature update of those times, and much appreciated.

15 years into their career, the Toronto indie rockers sound sharp and ebullient as ever.

Red Hot & Holy

This Atlanta group have a unique take on Americana, bridging queer cabaret culture of the 1920s and '30s with punchy contemporary rock.

Meandering guitars, laid-back vocals, and catchy choruses make this the perfect end of summer album.
