I know I carved the path
But I'm far too scared to go
And I know that we should talk
But the words stick in my throat
It's always like this,
Too quick to upset
I'm not helping
Shrinking violet
We uprooted
I'll admit it
I guess I've always known
Never been enough
In love, or not
Quietly distant
Have we always known?
We'll never find that missing piece
Or come to terms with what that means.
I wish you saw me in the clear
Circle the square, I'm always here.
But never near.
My heart followed you home.
We got lost along the way.
A thousand breaths I'm owed.
They were never yours to take.
Little tiptoes.
Sea of eggshells.
I'll come running through to your room
And never ask you:
Did you always know?
"Never"
Have we always known?
We'll never find that missing piece
Or come to terms with what that means.
I wish you saw me in the clear
Circle the square, I'm always here.
But never near.
Riding the line between indie pop and psychedelic folk, the songs on the latest from The Madeleines are as gorgeous as they are mysterious. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 22, 2022
