about

Zack and I started working on this song back in April 2011.
We sat on the back of a BC ferry, staring into the wake as we returned to the mainland.

lyrics

I'm staring
I'm staring
Into the wake of another ferry home
Your eyes have had me in nails
Your heart is never on sale
Who lives for the waking?
The smell of burnt coffee beans?
Truly the love you withhold is the pain that you carry on
Carry on

Pull me away from the edge I get vertigo
Dancing fools at a Canadian disco
My heart was so electric
Those marvelous names don't let themselves go

Some dogs are in heat now
They lay baking under a sun
Cute girls that sit in your seat
Collapse your legs and your feet
The doctrine of your neighbours suggests an inevitable win
Truly the love you withhold is the pain that you carry on
Carry on

YOUR EYES! (Are fatal...)
ALRIGHT! (I can't pay for...)
TURBINES!
These must be the wrong shoes.
