Shimmer 02:13
lyrics

Will you close your eyes When you ask her how she feels Shimmer in the light when you run Through the baseball field Shimmer in the light When the sprinklers smell like shit Shimmer in the light You didn’t earn happiness like this You know you didn’t Will I close my eyes When he curls around me Shimmer in the light When the light post gleams Bathe in the rain that the oaks bring down Please close your eyes When you see me drown Become something lost, and found

In Your Slippers Again 01:36
lyrics

I got piss on my socks, I got stains on my shirt and my hair's a mess. I got shit on my shoes, I've got cleaning to do, my place is a wreck. I don't think I'm going out tonight, I think I'll just stay in and write - and think on the days when I'd take you away, when we'd sleep in the same bed. You'd say beautiful things, like "I never will leave" like "I'm here to stay" Well baby where did you go? Baby did you love Ontario? I had to clean out my room and delete your missed calls, I took your paintings off the wall. I threw out your tampons with your slippers on my feet I couldn't tell what it meant to me; its all absurdity. It's all gonna be fine, I promise I'll stay in tonight.

Somewhere North 02:53
lyrics

I wanna make my best friends proud I’m singing these songs to a fucked up crowd I wanna be nothing big, I wanna be just like a little kid Lost by the wind Do you wanna be part of me I keep dreaming of the mountain range When you and I were on our little date Trying to find a place to stay, Find a place to run away And be shadows Beneath the moon And be shadows or Be the moon Oooo ooo ooo ooo I got lost In summer land I met god beneath the sand He gave me the ocean and the sky He said they’re the same if you just close your eyes So i closed my eyes

By the Water 03:25
lyrics
buy track
Let me know when you make it home, I'll stay up all night, I'll be by the telephone. Let me know when you're safe, Cause I hope we've got Some plans to make - I haven’t seen you since last summer but I think about you everyday I heard that you moved to the West coast, but who knows, thats just what people say. You were my island, You were my small And perfect place. My friends say I need to stay awake, because my dreams, because I've got some dreams to chase, But I think that I chase my dreams Better when I'm sleeping - You are July, You were the fire in my sky, I went to the beach, to watch your mixtapes sink, and I was blinded by your absence; and I thought: When I die, Bury me by the water - When I come back to life, I’ll be something better.

April / Thank God 02:36
lyrics
buy track
Rain has fallen on the day Its feeding the trees And its making me Think about a time When we made our own world Built up on forts And tents in the living room Playing flashlights Who ever would think We would grow up And take our own lives Its a wasteland Empty streets And empty lives / / God I promise you That here's a good place to be I bought a scratch off And I got another free I met an astronaut and he said that the Moon don't sing, He said that me and you are closer than we think I met a rain drop And she said I'm not alone She said "I fall daily, And I never got back home" God I promise you that here's a good place to be, I lost all my loved ones But they didn't lose me

Variety Peaches 03:25

We drank her parents wine On their guest bedroom bathroom floor We ashed our cigarettes Into the toilet Until we had to go out for more She had me in a midnight day dream, when I’d pick her up on peach street - well, Georgia's got a lot of these Its raining in Georgia Can you count the pills on my baby girl’s tongue? Its raining in Florida, all these drugs, does this shit still make you feel young? Coffee, sex, cigarettes, , ritalin and 2 Advil- I didn’t take you home then, when you looked like a collage crying in your parent’s garage but at least we still share the moon It will hold us together like glue, if even we don't want it to

Sharks 02:47

If you find the sharks teeth I’ll find the sea shells If you find the pine trees I’ll plant the daffodils The way that your hair Steals the light The way that your hands Would fit in mine But you’re a stranger Everyone’s stranger So let’s get fucked Get this tinder account blowing up Let’s get our teeth bared Become the space that was never there everyone’s a stranger This world is a stranger I wanna be a memory I wanna be a falling tree I wanna be love But that’s a paralyzing death The way that you disperse into sound The way we transform into the ground

about

First time playing a live set in about 3 years. Don't do it often, feels strange, feels nervous. "Nearing the River" was the original name I had floating around in my head for what would be the final WWGTE album, what became SWI&OOL. I wanted the music to stop, fade off into noise, turn into nothing but sound, like water, the closer you get to the river the less you hear of everything else.
