Humble moon, what now do I do?
A restaurants' plastic glass, at house party with your hip flask.
Has he kept you precious like a locket?
The pale night alive.
Through your jeans tight, cigarette box outline in your pocket.
We're in the bathroom and you perch on the sink.
I begin to infatuate, exasperate, resuscitate.
By day the cat sleeps, but at night how he moans through the windows perspex.
We sit and talk about sex because it's all we have in common, don't you know.
And it's youth, ever fading youth.
Would you have lived differently if you had known this life was on loan?
I recall the blue first night I met you, and gaze through the passing time.
Your hair was henna and wine.
The contrast in what I dream and reality.
Took you back from the club while your friends all did drugs, we never spoke about love, just mortality.
All of these nights you just trawl the same streets.
Tell the same stories, you count the heart beats.
Obsess with the death of the miracle days.
I CAN FEEL ALL YOUR DREAMS START TO FLICKER AND FADE.
"And you might be a stranger now, but I just wanted to let you know..." the complete Album is a wonder and I had some of my best hours in life hearing it. Thank you reverbpls
I'm coming out of a decade long musical hiatus. The last punk band to really move me was from the Bay (American Steel), so it's no surprise that I returned there for inspiration. Can't Swim is absolutely worth a listen for fans of Lawrence Arms or Taking Back Sunday. I'm sure there are much better comparisons - if that's you thing - but as I said, I've been out of the game for a long time. Thank you to Can't Swim for inspiring me to play again. Dave Wreckoning
