I’ve been trying to forget you
But I just can’t shake the doubt
It’s so hard not to let you
Become all I think about
After years since I met you
You would think that by now
I could have you figured out
I can tell something’s missing
In the way we said goodnight
But that feeling’s disappearing
Everytime we hit the lights
So if that’s all that we’re good for
At least we’ve got something right
I won’t be led around by a carrot and a stick
I got too much pride for that you know
And I’m still figuring out which battles I should pick
Seems like this one I should let go
So now I’m all through with trying
And I can tell it hurts you too
But that hurt’s multiplying everytime I look at you
And I still feel like I’m lying when
I tell myself we’re through (we’re through)
Baby it’s not nearly bad enough yet
We’ve got no idea how bad it could get

it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha

Erudite chamber pop that hearkens back to the elegant and experimental production of the 1960s, swinging from melancholia to playfulness. Bandcamp New & Notable May 13, 2016
