Sold Out

lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was just the other day
You walkin’ by my way
While the world was burnin’ down

The future was ours
So I was preparing to drown

I can only hear the sins
From an ocean of violins
Crashing over the plain on your behalf

Into the abyss we kissed between laughs
And you said –

[Chorus 1]
You have such a summer heart
Burns out just when it starts
And I don’t mean to call you out
But I’ve seen this sunset too many times to count

[Verse 2]
Days into months
We found ourselves stuck in such a rut

And by the next rhyme
We seemed to have lost all the time

I can only hear the sins
Of a thousand twangling instruments
I couldn’t stand that racket anymore

Why is death the only way to present the strongest case to live?
And you said –

[Chorus 2]
You have such a summer heart
Burns out just when it starts
And I don’t mean to call you out
But I’ve seen this sunset too many times to count

[Bridge]
It’s hard not to regret
All the warmth we spent
Killing time, romanticizing
Donnie, Lux and Clay
While we pray against the light
That dares to turn and fight the dark every day

[Chorus 3]
You have such a summer heart
Burns out just when it starts
And I don’t mean to call you out
But I’ve seen this sunset (too many times to)
But I’ve seen this sunset
But I’ve seen this sunset too many times to count

Kaleidoscope Drive
by Krissanthemum

Official SB Band Associate™ Krissy Lassiter is an incredible composer. Her music is like if mid-2000's The Flaming Lips had a superb vocalist. Also! We're lucky to have her on "Cold War Love Song." Sailor Boyfriend

Restless
by Crazy Pills

The power poppy Crazy Pills consist of some of the nicest human beings in the whole of this crazy, windy apple paradise island called "New York City." Andy loves "Wedding Rings" with all his heart. Sailor Boyfriend

Leash
by Little Hag

Avery is full of wit and heart. These songs keenly explore the tension between those two feelings through explosive hooks, heavy ballads, and a more-than-ample band to back her up. Pure fire, baby! Sailor Boyfriend

I refuse to pick a favourite, the best track is the whole dang album. Mine/Yours is the most romantic song of all time, Hive Collapse is the most heartbreaking end of a friendship, Milky way is the best nervous breakdown, ... it's all gold. Thank you Long Neck! elisk_
