lyrics

Because It’s Blue

Because it’s blue, I’m drawn to it
Because it’s blue, I can’t look back
Because it’s blue, I’ve got it bad
Because it’s blue, I’m drawn to it

It’s time forget all the tricks I learned
That I fine tuned, to make it work
It’s time to let it go, all the habits formed
When I was sitting in the back seat, watching life happen to me

Nevermind, nevermind
Forget that special name that I called you by
We’re not meant to hold on, we’re not meant hold on
Because it’s blue, I’m drawn to it

Spiraling again, my brain is weak
The blue pulls me further in the deep
Then I feel my gills take in the open sea
And remember what it is that calls to me

I finally feel the air come into my chest
Like all of these years were just a test
To see how long that I could hold my breathe
Until I collapsed from my own stubbornness

Four Walls

I could listen to the guitar riffs from "in Love..." all day. This is a fitting swan song for an criminally overlooked KC band. I dare say they're Sleater-Kinney without the jagged edges. I'm so proud of what these three ladies will become. 78spinner

This is the goods. Often, new music takes several listens to appreciate, but this hits home right out of the gate. Pat Taylor
