Band Aid

You said it’d be wrong
But your eyes told me something different
It was clear we’d found an unexpected place
Fingers stiff as rocks
‘Cause in the end I knew we’d pity
Though we promised that we’d always stay the same
Take…all the time you need to cry
My…lips won’t whisper lullabies
I’m not gonna be your band aid
Know you didn’t mean to fool me
Dreamer, much too gullible
My way, isn’t now or the highway
But reluctance hurts with only
One foot in the door
Hey, I know you’re lost
And that you need a friend to listen
And I wanna be your familiar face
That will keep you calm
When earthquakes shake the whole damn city
But when you’re so close I can’t help but feel strained
Take…all the time you need to cry
May…be don’t keep me in your sights
I’m not gonna be your band aid
Know you didn’t mean to fool me
Dreamer, much too gullible
My way, isn’t now or the highway
But reluctance hurts with only
One foot in the door
I just wanna change your mind
I just wanna change your mind
I’m not gonna be your band aid
Know you didn’t mean to fool me
Dreamer, much too gullible
My way, isn’t now or the highway
But reluctance hurts with only
One foot in the door

Have I exhausted you with my pretenses?
Every word staining your rose-colored glasses
Holden was right, we should keep our lips sealed
Precaution from the pain that comes with feel...
My chin was resting on your shoulder
I couldn't meet your eyes
Never felt so lonely on the dance floor
'Cause we knew it was the last time
When you woke up you said you had a bad dream
That felt achingly close to reality
Yet you still trusted that the weight on your chest
Was just a phase and not anticipation
My chin was resting on your shoulder
I couldn't meet your eyes
Never felt so lonely on the dance floor
'Cause we knew it was the last...
Just one kiss, there's nobody watching
It might make you change your mind
Just one kiss, there's nobody watching
It might make you change your mind
My chin was resting on your shoulder
I couldn't meet your eyes
Never felt so lonely on the dance floor
'Cause we knew it was the last time
My chin was resting on your shoulder
I couldn't meet your eyes
Never felt so lonely on the dance floor
'Cause we knew it was the last time

Think I might go out tonight
Since you left me...behind...
Wanna fall in love tonight
Show you that I'm...
Fine...
I haven't listened to much music, oh
In what feels like oh so long
You must think I'm useless, oh
And I don't think that you're wrong
Almost crashed my car tonight
Thought the stars were...your eyes
Singing my own lullabies
Still can't sleep at all
At all, at all
I haven't listened to much music, oh
In what feels like oh so long
You must think I'm useless, oh
And I don't think that you're wrong
Wish that I, could hide my face
When you ask me how's home
Guess I've felt a little strange
Tell me baby, does it show?

One Way Streets
03:01

Why do I wait, for a phone call?
The bitter taste of loneliness, a faithful friend of mine
Will I wake, from the stone wall?
And stop caressing dreams with no place in your eyes
Are you proud of all the tears I cried?
All the nights that I spent singing
Superstar, to lull my aching heart back to sleep
Driving down these one way streets
What chimed so sweetly
Didn’t have meaning
You’d have laughed, had you seen me
I tore apart my bed when I misplaced your valentine
All I had, to remember
The adolescent hope that one day, I would call you mine
Tell me now…is it justified?
All the nights that I spent singing
Superstar, to lull my aching heart back to sleep
Driving down these one way streets
What chimed so sweetly
Didn’t have meaning
Did it hurt, when you felt my
Fingers slip away, did your pride hit the floor?
Good luck with, your affliction
What can I say, I’m better off alone
Oh…
All the nights that I spent singing
Superstar, to lull my aching heart back to sleep
Driving down these one way streets
What chimed so sweetly
Didn’t have meaning
Hope you’re feeling better without me

I've been right here waiting for you
I guess that you just couldn't see
Through all the mistiness in your mind
When did the clouds wash over me?
Is it something you think about? Or is it
Just easier to live without
I shouldn't have to write your love letters
Be grateful for never enough
I shouldn't have to beg you to list all the reasons
You want me to stay
It shouldn't hurt this much
Think I've been playing by the rules, but
It should've never been a game
Your cheeks run pale with excuses
My tears have brought us to checkmate
Suns out, but nothing left to grow
Or is it
Just love with nowhere left to go?
I shouldn't have to write your love letters
Be grateful for never enough
I shouldn't have to beg you to list all the reasons
You want me to stay
It shouldn't hurt this much
And the longer I stare at the phone, I feel my shadow grow
Where do you run to when your heart is all I've
Ever known?
I shouldn't have to write your love letters
Be grateful for never enough
I shouldn't have to beg you to list all the reasons
You want me to stay
It shouldn't hurt this much

Summertime
Has been feeling kinda bleak
I’ve been stretching the sun
So you won’t see
Broken blood
Vessels that have stained my eyes
All the static and noise
I’m so damn tired
I’m tired…so…
Don’t look, I’m not a pretty sight
My heart has been rung out to dry
Washing my hands clean tonight…
I know I’ve
Maybe been a little mean
I just wanted to dance
To thirteen
Or we don’t
Even need a song at all
I just can’t take another
Post card
A post card…so…
Don’t look, I’m not a pretty sight
My heart has been rung out to dry
Washing my hands clean tonight
Don’t look, I’m not a pretty sight
My heart has been rung out to dry
Washing my hands clean tonight…
Tonight…tonight…tonight…
Don’t look, I’m not a pretty sight
My heart has been rung out to dry
Washing my hands clean tonight
Tonight…tonight…tonight…tonight…

Crush Me
03:06
|

|
You said that as of late
You’re not fond of the night
So I should take the train, stop on by
Disregard all my pain
For a cigarette-stained
Tale, and ticket to ride
And we’ll talk about the weather
Only looking for a reason to get closer
Oh, but darling you know better…
Thoughtless sweet nothings
Sinking under my skin, in
But it’s all too much babe
Not knowing what this is
I wish I was different, but I hate you more
Than money and leaving my heart at the door
So, crush me, I’ll pretend I don’t notice
You said you understand
Why I’ve such shaky hands
And that’s what makes them hard to hold
Sure you might be romantic
In charm and in habit
When it comes to all but love
And it hurts to be together
Milk and honey, antidepressants of choice
‘Cause you’re not one for forevers
Thoughtless sweet nothings
That sink under my skin, in
But it’s all too much babe
Not knowing what this is…oh…
I wish I was different, but I hate you more
Than money and leaving my heart at the door
So, crush me, I’ll pretend I don’t notice
Crush me
I’ll pretend I don’t notice

Mondays, I don’t wanna get out of this bed
Deal with the conflicting feelings that
Await my attention
I’d rather, smile and pretend you don’t exist
It’s easier on my heart
I can afford to be selfish
Think I’d be fine without you
But you’re always in my view
Don’t wanna care about you
Can’t help that I do
When I get frustrated
You’re just something to do
Think I’d be fine without you
Guess I, come off somewhat dramatic
In comparison to Mr. Apathetic
How I, feel for you a mystery
Guess I learned that boredom does
Extraordinary things
Think I’d be fine without you
But you’re always in my view
Don’t wanna care about you
Can’t help that I do
When I get frustrated
You’re just something to do
Think I’d be fine without you

Your Own Ride Home
03:31

When did I get so good at pretending?
That this wouldn’t hurt me if it could
It’s been trending
Wind-up toy has given out
Won’t mend me if I stay
And if I go I still won’t be
The one that got away
When you say
Baby come over to my place
I’ll keep you warm if you
Keep your mouth shut
And tip-toe without a trace and
We’ll be alone and I’ll make
You feel special for a moment
As long as you know
That you’ve got to find your
Own ride home
Your…own ride home
You say that you just don’t know how to
Turn a blind eye
Guess I’m the exception to the rule
Objectified
Stroking my hair, holding me
For hours at a time
Telling me you want nothing more
How can I be fine?
When you say
Baby come over to my place
I’ll keep you warm if you
Keep your mouth shut
And tip-toe without a trace and
We’ll be alone and I’ll make
You feel special for a moment
As long as you know
That you’ve got to find your
Own ride home
Your…own ride home
Don’t listen to a word I say
Nothing is true if I behave
When you say
Your…own ride home
Your…own ride home

Since I Lost You
03:51
|

Tempting to give in at the very sight
Of you
Begging myself silently to keep
My cool
Second guessing everything I do
Unsuspecting, you don’t have a clue
A year has a gone by, since I lost you
Since I lost you, yeah
I haven’t been alright, since I lost you
Since I lost you, yeah
Though I’ve wiped my eyes dry
Left it behind
There’s something I can’t quell
A year has gone by…and I…
Midnight calls leave me incapable
Of sleep
Shaking with excitement, I can’t wait
To see
You tomorrow, but for now I’ll dream
Of everything we are, and what we’ll be
A year has a gone by, since I lost you
Since I lost you, yeah
I haven’t been alright, since I lost you
Since I lost you, yeah
Though I’ve wiped my eyes dry
Left it behind
There’s something I can’t quell
A year has gone by…and I…
Am still a broken bell
Ringing and ringing, ringing and ringing
Ringing and ringing out…

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).

Been a huge fan of Peach Kelli Pop since The White Wires decided to call it a day and this EP really shakes things up in an exciting way by slowing things down, without losing any of the charm or immediacy that they've always been known for. All the thumbs up!
