Lyrics:
I am aimless in my lovin'
Caught the tail end of your set
Before I went to bed
But I don't get out much
Met a lover in my backyard
Watching from my room
Honey I'll come down soon
Now I am falling to a dark place
Where just remembering her death's
About all I can take
But I don't get out much
Is being swallowed by a room
Supposed to feel this way?
Maybe I'll come out
Babe
Now I am swimming in a river
Showing off the butterfly
Enraptured by light
But I don't get out much
And nothing's held me so soft
As this water tonight
Maybe she was
She was right
What dying felt like
A wooden spoon tossed in the fire
'Cause nothing's good enough
You fucking liar
You fucking liar
A sliding hill
A quick refrain
A frozen bird
Melting
An eyelash
For wishing

That "edge" just slowly creeps up and shakes you silly yelling "will you listen?"

This is amazing. Unbelievable artist and band. Love them.

I love it when pure chance feeds me some new music that kicks some indie-folk ass! Love it!

[@thomasatwood5934]

Absolutely beautiful! Something about the mourning wistfulness of this incredible song playing over a heartening scene of talented musician friends hanging in a woodsy backyard with their sweet dogs is so lovely & captivating. Pedal steel goes straight to your heart.

[@AJLangford]

Love this. Seems like a nice country song before she cries 'You fucking liar' and it launches into that delicious, edgy guitar solo. Love it.
