we've seen a lot 2gether - been around a couple times but i'm acting kinda crazy and it's taking up our lives and u should know that u saved me more than u ever really knew and u carried me from something that i couldn't see out thru and i'd follow 4 whatever if u'd only ask me 2 but i know i need 2 work on me and i know u know it too and i know it's really hard 4 u 2 c me in this way and i figure u been asking round from the things that people say and it's okay but they're all popping out the woodwork all like 'wow' seems like every1 some kinda expert now they're all popping out the woodwork all like 'wow' seems like every1 some kinda expert now and i wish we knew better what 2 do better and i wish i knew better how i could get better 4 u who's 2 know we might fix it all up who's 2 know we might fix it all up toe 2 toe we might fix it all up u should know we might fix it all up they're all popping out the woodwork all like 'wow' seems like every1 some kinda expert now they're all popping out the woodwork all like 'wow' seems like every1 some kinda expert now and i wish we knew better what 2 do better and i wish i knew better how i could get better 4 u and i wish we knew better what 2 do better and i wish i knew better how i could get better 4 u

i was at work when i picked the call up kept tripping on ur words ah-ah-ahh-ah spotlight on ur body slo-mo breath and this is the hand this is the hand that first taught me how 2 stand im not psychic obviously but i know im gonna c u everywhere that i go from the back u could be any1 oh im not psychic obviously but i know im gonna c u everywhere that i go from my front door 2 the dancefloor oh i came as quick as i could 2 c u sat dead still on the train just like a curse while everything around me is running numb 'hello mum' now i'm the one 2 enfold u in my arms im not psychic obviously but i know im gonna c u everywhere that i go from the back u could be any1 oh im not psychic obviously but i know im gonna c u everywhere that i go from my front door 2 the dancefloor oh

i hold the videophone up overlap with the true life just to see u in real time backlit in the dayglow flat panel bisected 2 a pair of equal lines stumbling from the cold i let my mind run off with u shattering the neon seam and trace a long crescent arc down the curvature of ur spine like we were in the ghost of some dream theres a flame and its caught sight of everything burning and burning and never lost on me i heard a sound and i thought 'well thats the same as b4' like an echo returning and never lost on u and every movement u made lives again out there in the chaos i know u gave as good as u got and one mote of the dust that constituted my person is coming 4 u ready or not each particle of the light that came and bounced off ur body moved away 4ever changed gathered here in the corners a constellation of colours irreversibly sustained theres a flame and its caught sight of everything burning and burning and never lost on me i heard a sound and i thought 'well thats the same as b4' like an echo returning and never lost on u theres a flame and its caught sight of everything burning and burning and never lost on me i heard a sound and i thought 'well thats the same as b4' like an echo returning and never lost on u

about

dedicated 2 steph.

this ep is about memories. about the half lit ones hanging in the back of our minds. about the ones that form us and make us who we are without our knowledge. the ones that we cant bear to hold on to. the ones that end abruptly.

the power and colour of a memory seems to change over time - what causes us impenetrable grief one year brings a soft smile some way down the line, and one day is the shining light of our love for someone within our interior universe-of-them. i try and take mental snapshots now - little reminders of the good times to keep safe from the passing of time. hidden in the dark, walled off from the risk of over-exposure to life.

there’s an inescapable beauty in the hum-drum of everyday experience - the ´little times´. last year i sat in the moonlight with my friend and she told me about when she was a kid, staring at the shape of her mothers hands on the steering wheel. the familiarity of the motions, the habitual movement of her thumbs against her fingers - all tied in to a feeling that has stayed with her long after the fact. i sat there and realised that i would remember this moment here forever. a memory within a memory.
