I’m trying, to let you in and
To unwrap feelings I’ve kept all tangled up within my chest
But something about it is scary as hell
And yet all I’ve really wanted is to be known by someone else
Were you ever someone new?
I forgot the way it felt
Climbing trees and losing shoes
I’m light as air
If it turns out it was just a game
We’ll laugh about it either way
I’m not trading anything for this feeling
I’m trying but the way it’s been
Is i’m not a good person, I’m just scared to let this all end
You steady me
You’re all that I have
If I get everything I’ve wanted, will I be happy again?
My doubts keep me confined
When I’ve wanted to feel alive
But something’s keeping me from you
It’s at the back of my mind
Whatever’s keeping me from you will try
Sparkling synthpop with an emphasis on high-wattage chords and the kind of melodies that burrow themselves deep in the brain. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 1, 2023
Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
