Something is Not Quite Right by Pacific Blank

The band would make friends with some off-campus buddies from New Brunswick and this song was written in their basement. Another one of the many songs written about and/or with Alana, who was referenced in the final chorus. Craig always felt deeply embarrassed that he rhymed “wishes” with “fishes” in this song, but no one has ever called him on the clunker. Thede’s guitar as always presents a neat canvas to work with, crafting a memorable and under-rated PB song.
With a thousand wishes
Filling the seas
Hiding all the fishes
From the eyes that see
Them in their deepest sympathies
And know that in the afternoon
They’ll be
Gone
Gone away
I can’t find it
Just outside my grasp
The feeling never lasts
But something’s not quite right
You were waving
And I ran smiling
Blue and white bouquet of flowers
I stopped hiding
Alone I was
Lonely and alone
But you came back to me
Let me hold you tightly by the sea
Tides chasing crabs
Rough seas calmed
The worst is past
If I could promise
Peace
I would promise
Sanity
I would promise
Grateful melodies
Of you and me
I think I found it
The one that saved me
The only one that makes
Everything alright
