lyrics

Slow tide
Seven o clock in the morning
Halfway alive
Chasing shadows
The houses, hedges, and Toyotas
Dissolve in meaningless line
It’s not a long way to go
We left there an hour ago
What happened to the cityscape
Like I never lived here before

True crime
The neighbourhood watch has disbanded
So you can do what you like
Wherever we go
There's nothing to notice
It’s not good or bad
Like one time you said
Everywhere is just Maple Ridge
But we were just stupid kids
Sometimes everywhere really is
And you can’t make records when you’re dead

Cold times
Losing the buzz isn’t easy
But you learn how to abide
And get going
Perpetual adolescence notwithstanding
It loses the shine
The bloom is off the rose
The dandies have all gone to seed
Gotta learn to let it go
Leave some room to let it breathe
