Start to Row

lyrics

start to row
if you can't stay, just make it up.
you still have to tell me what I already know now.

start to stop
don't you'll sleep
but not wake up.
this city has enough
of what I haven't got.
we are warned against
the shores for all the oars that we've lost.

we love out enemies,
but not like we love ourselves.
we love out enemies,
but not like we love ourselves.

northern exploration ran
over everything of mine,
with old sounds.
at the knee they'll cut your hand,
or take it in time,
from the ankle down.

I don't have a way to hurt you
I don't have a way to hurt you
I don't have a way to hut you anymore.

start to get mean
capture's a cause
we've taken up.
run easily
to where you'd much rather be.
we are warned against
the water that's just as deep as it seems.

we love out enemies,
but not like we love ourselves.
we love out enemies,
but not like we love ourselves.

northern exploration ran
over everything of mine,
with old sounds.
at the knee they'll cut your hand,
or take it in time,
from the ankle down.

I don't have a way to hurt you
I don't have a way to hurt you
I don't have a way to hut you anymore.

Just saw them performing much of this album on their west coast tour. San Diego and Pioneertown dates. Didn’t know any of them lol. I’m all about their old shit but I like this. Playing it more and more. Appreciate the evolution of one of my favorite bands in the world since middle school! 🖤 Red
