recorded in the living room two days before my mother's birthday in the fall of 2016
lyrics
why'd you have to drift so close to
that old flame
I thought that you already knew
that your wings were waxen
now you're just a charcoal moth
plummeting into the patient waves
and wondering aloud why it
always seems to stay the same
long distance lover
did you really want her
don't forget that
she's not the only one
does she smile at you
the same way that I do?
when you can't breathe
will she meet you underneath
and draw you up from
the turbulent waters
that you've got locked up
deep inside you
credits
from underneath,
