Remember the first time you saw me
I was in a coat the size of your living room shivering
You said winter weather was such a novelty
but that that snow hit my lashes so goddamn perfectly
and if we're being honest it's not like i wanna lie to you
and if we're being honest i will never tell you the truth
the words lay in my mouth but they don't mean anything anymore
they've all started to taste the same tired without feeling and bored
don't lie to me
don't lie to me
it's not like i wanna lie to you
i was covering your eyes you peaked through cracks in my fingers
i was leading you through traffic lights blindly
why don't you trust me?

Another great album - dean wareham, joanna gruesome, lonely tourist, dorotea, the chills, manhattan love suicides & spearmint are all highlights but the whole lot is pretty darn great really martin kiosk
The name of this album perfectly encapsulates everything I love about Elizabeth's musical output from the Darlings to Allo Darlin' to these precious songs: an unyielding optimism that is never naive, and by being so, becomes wildly contagious. Some music tells you that "everything will be ok", but her music actually makes you believe it, even when the lyrics hint at doubt. Michael Feck
