lyrics

There's only so much sentiment
I can etch in the back of a raindrop
But at least I've found my breath before it's gone

Perhaps it'll hit the floor before
I can dot all my initials
But hey, I guess that's half the fun

So just leave me be
To drown in my melancholy
I can't explain quite why I want to stay
I know I might be
Satisfying the clichés
When I sit and listen to the rain

Once I find my words
Do I shoot them to the atmosphere
Blasted through some cheap old megaphone?

I just want this to mean something
To anybody out there
In the hopes they'll figure out they're not alone

So just leave me be
To drown in my melancholy
I can't explain quite why I want to stay
I know I might be
Satisfying the clichés
When I sit and listen to the rain

Sticks and stones may break my bones
And words will never harm me
But I'm one breath away
From being strangled by my last soliloquy

So just leave me be
To drown in my melancholy
I can't explain quite why I want to stay
I know I might be
Satisfying the clichés
When I sit and listen to the rain

I can’t get over the beauty of this album. It’s utterly stunning in so many different ways, and I feel like I pick up a new element every time I give it a listen. Epically huge intertwined with delicate moments that make this album so intrinsically individual. francesca
