When I was young I used to walk around the dirt and make-believe
I'm not a little kid anymore
we talk about the same old shit and now the words don't stay with me
I'm not the boy you're looking for
but when I lay down with you at night
I want you to hold me to you tight
I still feel everything we do
and when you wake up in the morning light
I want to see you at the bedside
I still want to be everything to you
I go about my day just like the day before but now it's short
you're still at work I'm getting stoned
were buzzing on the long walk home we still hold hands and laugh a lot
there's still a lot I can never know
were at a friend's house looking around to find who we know
but I don't know anyone
and everyone's having fun
it's getting late now I made a mistake and I let it show
you decided to stay awhile
and I just feel relieved to go

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind the clouds
To hide its face and cry
Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die?
That means he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry

When You're Around

When you call my name
I shudder at the sound
When the words are familiar
I get up and I come back down
When you're off for the summer
We'll get lost among the clouds
We can toss along the river
I'm in love when you're around
Did you lose your way?
Leaving bread crumbs on the ground
When the sun starts to flicker
When the moon is comin' around
When you're lost in the garden
When you're wastin away to the ground
Can I waste with you darling?
I'm in love when you're around
Oh, when lovers cross
Over mountains of our doubt
Push to break our hearts
See we're not so fragile now
When you're laying in the grass
You remember when love was found
Hold my heart in your pocket
I'm in love when you're around

The Bells

I walk the long way home again
I was afraid that you would see my face
And ask me where I've been
And I wait for something to begin
But I'm getting older and
My days are wearing oh, so thin
To the creek where we fell in again
But I fell in again
And I pulled you in as well
But I don't think I could've learned to swim
Without you there to keep my head up
Long enough to breathe the air that you breathe too
To the church where I cast out my sins
They said I could wash my feet,
But never walk again
And we sat in the same seat every Sunday
But I couldn't hear a single word they said
While your hand is barely, barely touching mine
And I woke up in your room alone
I must have drifted off just staring at your clothes
Is it yours or is it someone else's now?
No matter the days away
I'll keep it ready
Waiting for the day that you come home

In another life
I see you in the corner of another apartment
You're picking at the last of me in sight
I'm licking at the last drops
Falling through your fingertips and burning my mouth
When I taste your love
My lips feel numb
When you've had enough
Will I come undone?
Every night
I could swim under the warmth of your blankets and dive in
I could stay and soak through with your body beside me
and dive in
Light a cigarette and watch you blow the smoke as it fills up the room
You're holding out the last for me to have
I take it as a metaphor and turn around
You're already out of my view

EFBN TAPES
by From Indian Lakes
supported by 11 fans who also own “2022 Spring Sessions”
I've been in absolute awe of this demo tape since I received the physical tape in my EFBN pre-order package. So glad it's been released digitally for everyone to hear. This version of American Dreams seriously might be my favorite recording by any artist in history.

supported by 6 fans who also own “2022 Spring Sessions”
Psychedelic, powerful, lyrically mature. This album is falling in love, losing it and moving on, but with that love still remaining, tucked away until it returns or is replaced with a new one.

Here in the Pitch
by Jessica Pratt
On her fourth album, Jessica Pratt blends up 60s pop and bossa nova into a spooky mix of soft psychedelia.
