Here you are, you’re coming into town again,
Like it’s no more than a stone’s toss from your broke down Queen Sized bed.
Not that you’ve got much to do there anymore,
You’ve been something close to roommates with my dad since I was four.
Why are you so obsessed with me?
Don’t you know I’m nothing that you wanted me to be.
It’s time to grow up, it’s time to move on,
Admit I turned out wrong.
If life were kind, we could have a second chance
To rewind,
And do it right,
You could take back what you don’t recall you said.
What I need you could not conceive.
I don’t believe you are capable of empathy.
Something’s missing, the lights aren’t on,
But you keep chugging along.
If life were kind, we could have a second chance
To rewind
And do it right,
I could take back what I don’t regret I said.
I’m so nervous while I write this song I might just keep it to myself.
I’m afraid of what you’re gonna feel, I don’t think that you’ll take it well.
I’m so tired but I write this song.
If life were kind, we could have a second chance
To rewind
And do it right,
But I don’t know what that looks like.

She says I can’t sleep alone anymore I miss him.
He used to break down every door but you still kissed him.
She claims he’s changed he’ll never touch her again.
You say he loves you but he said he did then.
Please say you’ll never look down again.
Please say you’ll never go back to him.
The other day I saw your face and it was shocking.
You turned away to keep your red eyes from locking.
You’re sweet under the skin I wanna see you blossom,
But he’ll only help you bloom.
Please say you’ll never look down again.
Please say you’ll never go back to him.
Turn, close your rusty shades, look away.
Sleeves pulled over your fingertips so I can’t see them shake.
She’ll go anywhere you go.
He let you know none of this means anything to him,
It’s a game that he plays and you know you’re a piece but you stay all the same,
Wasting away.
Please go, say that it’s over. You fucking know you can stay over at my place on the couch if you need till you figure it out.

son dial Grand Rapids, Michigan
Sad and gay. :)
Seeking catharsis through noise, this all-queer band of soft punks found each
other amidst their separate journeys serendipitously in Grand Rapids.
What started as the angsty singer-songwriter stylings of Abs Nutter has since sprouted into the spirited power trio you hear here that aims to gleam the edges of indie/alternative, post-rock, and art rock.
