I can lay down and watch the light
Become perfect outside
And live a charmed life
By way of your eyes
With your hair laid out
On the trampoline
All around your head just like
A halo ring
Covered in confetti leaves
Under the branch of a Crepe Myrtle tree
Bright and cold where the clouds get big
The way they do driving by the sea
Leave
Be free
I tried
I wanted to say goodbye
Gone like
Last light
Leave
Be free
You tried
You don’t owe an apology
Searching
For something
Now Small Joy Hill is covered in Kudzu
Though we saw the whole year through
You wanna say goodbye but you
Can’t bring yourself to
Do your sisters
Still call you bird?
The loving voices
You’ve always heard
Sugar fed the virus under your skin
After the fact it was always your plan
Just as sad as the track marks are
That made a donkey out of your high horse
Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
As I listen to this album more and more I start discover aspects that I hadn't felt before. My love for every individual track continues to grow, but Change has remained in my heart as a deep drive to get me through the day. seonghi
