I drink hard so I don't remember
The way that you won't be with me
I drink hard so I don't remember
The way that you lay next to him
I think of you every night, my darling
Think of you, I don't know why
I drink hard so I don't remember
The way that you lay next to me

... and you never saw it coming,
Despite everything I did to stop it.
The salt in the air is choking me and I love it
I mean, I wish I could say I love it
So please don't see through me this time
I don't think that I could make it through it
No, I don't mean to say I won't make it through it
but honestly I don't think I could do it
So please don't see through the wall I put up
To keep me from fucking up again this time
No, I don't mean to say that I want to do it
Honestly, I don't think I could do it
... and I never saw it coming,
Despite everything you did to stop it.
I used to be so much stronger than this
Where did my confidence go at times like this?
So please just see through me this time
I don't think that I could make it through it
No, I don't mean to say I won't make it through it
but honestly I don't think I could do it
So please just see through the wall I put up
To keep me from fucking up again this time
No, I don't mean to say that I want to do it
Honestly, I don't think I could do it
I don't mean to be morose,
And I really don't want to go
But lately all I can think about...

Funny Way

You got a funny way of loving me
When I'm with you, I'm not sure which you you'll be
I shouldn't have to convince you to stay here with me
Yeah, you got a funny way of loving me
You got a funny way of kissing me
You close your eyes, you're somewhere else entirely
Try as I might, I can't get you back here with me
Yeah, you got a funny way of kissing me
Maybe I should come back home
Maybe you just need some space
Maybe I just need to see
You got a funny way of loving me
You got a funny way of sleeping with me
You fall asleep a mile away, you wake up next to me
You know that I can't do this every single day
Yeah, you got a funny way of sleeping with me
You got a funny way of loving me
You love me one day, the next you seem to hate me
You know that I can't do this every single day
Yeah, you got a funny way of loving me
Maybe I should come back home
Maybe you just need some space
Maybe I just need to see
You had a funny way
Yeah, you had a funny way
You had a funny way of loving me

The man I was is not the man I've been
Why can't I just be him?
I don't say the things I know I can
When did all those thoughts leave my head?
I just miss you so god damn much
I'll never get over you
My ma tells me I should pick up my phone
But I don't know where to reach you anymore
How did it get so bad? I'm sure I'll never know
If I had it my way, I'd never go
I just miss you so god damn much
I'll never get over you
Maybe you're gone and on to someone new,
That's fine, I just gotta say to you
Thanks for all the good times
When you were here with me, I wasn't myself
A stupid northern boy, figuring out what life's about
I can only hope that you can forgive me
For saying all that shit I didn't mean
I just missed you so god damn much
And then I got over you

Jamie Bell recommends:
This album says more with the space between notes than most albums do in their entire lyrics sheet. One of my favourite albums of all time, hands down. Listen to it!

i clung to you hoping we'd both drown
by flatsound
This album connects me to everything I ought to be connected to, and lets me soak in it. It makes me feel something I've only felt a few times in my life, and it does so consistently! Thanks Mitch!

Grandfather
by Tigers On Trains
Painfully earnest hooks that will pull you out of yourself. An album that is way better than it has any business being. I've been listening to these guys since 2007, and everything they do is magic!

Sword & Sworcery LP - The Ballad of the Space Babies
by Jim Guthrie
supported by 4 fans who also own “January”
I listened to these tracks for months after falling in love with the game during a long winter. Chill, varied, and mysterious.
go to album
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop.
