lyrics

I’m back for another summer. Tell me, do you feel the same? Have you got your problem sorted? Is it just a waiting game. I want to take you to a movie, kiss you up against my car. And I won’t let you leave until you call him up and say, “So long, so long.”

“Sometimes things don’t go the way you want them to. Now I’ve got a guy who treats me better than you. He takes me out at night and never makes me pay. And that’s the only thing that matters anyway.”

I’d apologize for everything I did at your house last night when I was drunk and dumb. Except I wasn’t there. I’m always living in the wake of girls who pass me over. I miss your blonde hair. Wish you’d dye every summer.

Sometimes things don’t go the way you want them to. It’s all the time for me and I don’t know what to do. Cause everything I drink is going straight to my heart. And I can’t have another fling, I’m falling apart.

Ember
by Woozles

This album is all at once catchy, raw, beautiful, loud, and cathartic. A dissection of a bad breakup like no other. I haven't been able to get the tunes out of my head since I first heard them. John Parker, Jr.
