star-crossed

star-crossed was written during quarantine, when we were all stuck at home, wishing things were different. the song is about wondering what life might be like if you'd grown up in a different place or time, been influenced by different people, experienced different circumstances. would you be a better person, or worse? who would your loved ones be? what would you become?

lyrics

what if time ran backwards, summer fading into spring

what if i could change it all, cut the kite lines pulling me

away from you and far from home, you're floating up, i'm sinking down.

what if our paths aligned, wait for me

drifting stars too far apart, i dream of what could have been

if life is like a book, i'll tear this page out, toss it away

scribbled truths and crossed out lies, misspellings out of sight and mind

throw it all away, find me

do you know and i

i don't wanna hear goodbye

look away tonight

don't wanna see your tragic eyes

it's an ordinary life

and there is no getting out of it

and if this is only one, one of many lives we could've led

i hope that somewhere else sometime, everything went right and i

am happy in some other way, it's true i wish that i could see

if only for a moment, just what i'd become

do you know and i

i don't wanna hear goodbye

look away tonight

don't wanna see your tragic eyes

it's an ordinary life

and there is no getting out of it

who writes postcards anymore

postcards was released as a b-side track to star-crossed, and features a simple arrangement, written to be finished in one or two recording sessions as we had put ourselves on a deadline for release, and time was getting tight. we got it in two sessions. nick actually wrote this song just a couple of days before we recorded the full version. the night we recorded it, aimee showed up to the studio having never played the song before, but she learned and recorded the rhythm guitar in less than an hour!

the song is about missing someone who has been gone from your life for some time, wishing you could have joined them, wondering if they think of you wherever they are, and wishing they would just.. write you a postcard.

the original title was "who even thinks of me?"

lyrics

i’m pulling myself together still

even though it’s been a while

the machinery of your heart leaves

so much to overthink about

it feels like a hundred years have gone by

and it’s getting hard to recall

i dream of you in black and white

memories in monochrome

i’ve been kept inside by rain

never knew that i could leave

i guess that i will wait, oh cruel fate

why have you turned me out this way

i know that time will pass and this won’t last

i couldn’t fix it if i tried

so think of me wherever you might be

and i’ll try not to wonder

i'm pulling myself together still, even though it's been a while

and i turn

and i turn is a song about feeling like you ruin every good thing in your life. nick wrote the song during a short band hiatus in 2021, a pretty depressive time. but at least it made a song happen!

lyrics

a miracle, we met on a white day

lyrical, your voice in my head

whispering as i dream

on and on, breaking me down

still i'm drawn to the shine that's in your

eyes and i turn away

sing to me, so i can pretend

we'll never be

but i can forget

for just a little while

and i was born here, i was born here,

i was born here, i was born here,

i was born here, i was born here

and i turn another good thing into dust

and i fall a million times over for you

and i was born here

i was born here

i was made here, the way never clear

reaching for hope with eyes wide open

but lights too bright i'm waiting all night

and i turn another good thing into dust

and i fall a million times over for you

and i was born here

i was born here

sing to me

so i can forget

still

still deals with the loss of friends, how it hurts to lose people when they go down a different path in life than you, and trying to cope. the first song arranged and recorded in our newly upgraded studio!

lyrics

oh, where’d you go?

disappearing in one tragic night

so, this is no glancing blow

it’s a knockdown, withering

why has life passed us by?

holding on now, pale and expressionless

goodbye, in the blink of an eye

take me with you to a better place

where i am lost and found

stick around for me

still, i wait and i will

try my hardest to let you go tonight

i call, but you don’t hear at all

and still I see you, vanishing

crash, turn me to ash

i cannot stop it, and i can’t take anymore

believe, this is no passing dream

it’s a fortress where i can hide away

where i am lost and found

stick around for me

where i am lost and found

stick around for me
