This pavement thicker in the winter
If my head would move just a little quicker
I could tell you straight why I am so bitter
I feel so alone
I paid the price, stupid ‘cause I’m honest
And I took your word, dying to be wanted
I would do it twice just so in the moment
I’d feel so alive
Oh I’m breaking down in the daylight baby
And I’m waking up in the dark
I’m taking up all the oxygen
And I’m starving all of my thoughts
Cause I don’t wanna remember waiting like a fool outside of your car
I’ll spend every September asking
Did you plan it all at the start?
Is anybody out there
Is anybody watching over me
Is anybody out there
Is anybody watching over me
One by one, picking up the pieces
As the record spins, slowly through the seasons
Every day begins wishing for a reason
I feel so alone
So I keep marching, braver than a soldier
And I keep fighting, hoping when I’m older
It will fade with time, nothing left to shoulder
I feel so alive
Oh I’m breaking down in the daylight baby
And I’m waking up in the dark
And I’m using up all the oxygen
And I’m starving all of my thoughts
Cause I don’t wanna remember waiting like a fool outside of your car
I’ll spend every September asking
Did you plan it all at the start?
Is anybody out there
Is anybody watching over me
Is anybody out there
Does everybody wonder what it means
(Is any body out there?
Breaking down, daylight baby
Dying to be wanted I would --
Fool outside of your car
Feel so alive
Wake in the dark
Stupid cause I'm honest
Is anybody out there?
Breaking down, daylight baby)

Ha-oly ma-joly, this album is a new favorite. Love the twists and turns of melody and lyrics everywhere. Rosie takes you on an adventure of the heart. remy owen

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
