lyrics

What makes a mood change overnight? What makes a heart stay fond in daylight? What makes a lover stay? I try, but can’t get it right.

When you came up to me and told me your name, I was about to leave. I don’t know why I stayed. I guess I thought tonight could be different. Better than going home to television. After a couple drinks, we started talking close. Your hands were on my jeans, feeling under my clothes. And love can’t live on alcohol alone, but I’m still gonna take you home.

What makes a mood change overnight? What makes a heart stay fond in daylight? What makes a lover stay? I try, but can’t get it right.

And in the morning, you pulled me close like you’ve been here before. And begged me, “Baby, don’t go to work. Why can’t you call out from the store? So we can lay in bed and kiss until our lips are sore.” But in a day or two, your love, it was no more.

And normal people have relationships. But all these people, they just make me sick. Cause everybody wants to play pretend. But I don’t ever want this day to end. Because I miss giving a shit, and being with someone I couldn’t be without. It’s been so long now, I think I’ve forgotten how.

What makes a mood change overnight? What makes a heart stay fond in daylight? What makes a lover stay? I try, but can’t get it right.

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.
