about

Our second single released exclusively on Bandcamp.

lyrics

Your friendship carries me atop a troubled sea and
it amazes me I'm still afloat most days
of course there are other things that help me to keep paddling like
stars up in a foggy sky, or Star Trek episodes that make me cry

Some days I find it hard to get out of bed
then I call you, and I think of what I could do instead
need to hear you, need to know you're on the other end
oh my friend

And even when it's really dark I
think of you and I can start to
count these things up one by one
the way my skin spots in the sun
the smell when winter's finally done
the first touch from a brand new love
coffee in my Bowie mug
my cat curled up in bed

Some days I find it hard to get out of bed
then I call you, and I think of what I could do instead
need to hear you, need to know you're on the other end
oh my friend
