lyrics

Everyone wants it bigger and better
I want our burdens as light as a feather
I want to smell the salty sea
I want to be light on my feet

Everyone wants their love on sale
Everyone wants to ride the rail
I think it’s time we finally count the cost
Everyone wants a love that’s easy
Like and share but you feel lonely
I think it’s time we finally turn it off

Head down for this dopamine upper
Face glow, sleepless it’s a bummer
Instant feeling, virtual greetings
Swipe to give me digital meaning
It’s simple and fleeting

Everyone wants their love on sale
Everyone wants to ride the rail
I think it’s time we finally count the cost
Everyone wants a love that’s easy
Like and share but you feel lonely
I think it’s time we finally turn it off
But it turns me on

This was a band I used to be in as drummer. We has so many good times and we wanted to sound like Spoon meets Plus/Minus. I'm really proud of this EP and you can have it for free if you want it. Mountains & Valleys
