lyrics

Verse 1

I can't seem to be the perfect man,
I just can't accept who I am,
that this is my wingspan,
And I'm losing days like this, weeks and months and years,
It appears, I'm doing fine, but fine is far from perfect.
Take off your cape my friend, and have a glass of rye,
You're far too taken by this life,
You follow hollow branches pointing down south,
Meanwhile blades of grass push through your toes.

Chorus

What do you want from me?
You know, I try! This is the bed that we made,
Sometimes it don't seem fair! This is the place where we lie,
Sometimes it just ain't right! This is my face full of wait,
You know, I try! Behind the chase in my mind

Verse 2

Crawl out of hiding, only under sheltered sky,
The fog must be a blanket for my mind,
My tongue's all twisted and my words sound ill-inclined,
Is this my best or just the last of all my tries,
Take off the pain, the one you paint over your eyes,
I'll hold them wet, I'll hold them dry,
I love the sound you make just before you cry,
But I miss the sun shining all its light.

More existential than psychedelic. More fire escape than garage. Alternately haunting and gripping, Should We Run makes music with a strong emphasis on lyrical content and emotional intensity.
Their hearts have always been on their sleeves, but the upcoming second album gives Should We Run a chance to show their teeth. ... more
