lyrics

Time to put winter behind me
Everything weighing me down

(Pre-chorus)
I miss travelling,
Crowded halls and empty hearts
Trash corners
I’m trying to find a place in which your eyes
Don’t pop up
From dark corners

I let my plant die waiting for spring
But March never really came

(Pre-chorus)
I heard we had to wait one whole year
A tower moment

(Chorus)
A drive uphill scouting houses with lemon trees
We’ll never see grow, let alone pick
A run downtown, gotta catch the train before it leaves
Whichever way we go, it’ll take us right back
To familiar views

Summer I gave too much of myself
Stage and street, one and the same

(Pre-chorus)
I miss mingling,
Crowded halls and empty hearts,
Hot corners
I’m trying to find a place in which your eyes
Spot me out
From dark corners

(Chorus)
One little lie by the water where good things stay
Tell you I don’t care, I’m good with it
You say you gotta go, there are places you have to be
They’re all beautiful and real

Untourable Album
by Men I Trust

supported by 13 fans who also own “I Let My Plant Die”

A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe. Crow Yo
