Ross Llewallyn Dreamy, floaty, but sharp is how I'd describe these songs, creating a cozy atmosphere while tangling with hard experiences of disconnection and loss. And yet I laughed at my favorite track. What a treat to listen to. Favorite track: i guess we weren't perfect.

same old lucid dream 02:05
lyrics

I'm in a lucid dream broken glass on the concrete me trying to fly away always the same it's always me trying to fly away you're on the porch calling my name so where am I going? floating up and up and up and up and up and then I'm back watching my curtains change from dark to light blue against my wishes my tumble dryer mind won't turn off I can't find the switch I blame my mom and dad I think that they have the same affliction my own worst enemy time escapes, the minutes pass me by where is my mind? where is my mind? where is my... three kids and a swimming pool that's what you said you want I said I want that too three kids and a swimming pool that's what you want I think I want that too

i guess we weren't perfect 02:52

you reeled me in and let me go then did it again oh god I'm a fool you buttered me up and took me down with my heart in your hand was it just me or did you tell me you want me? was it just you or did I make myself small to fit the shape of the inside of you pocket where you hid away all your precious toys? I guess that we weren't perfect you went and fucked your roommate I crushed on her as well but it never crossed my mind my mind my mind It felt just like a dream we kissed down by the lake you told me 'bout your dad and how much you hate him I saw your pain the trenches in your soul I wanted to use myself to fill them but I sank into the quicksand of your tragic story lost sight of where I end and where you began until the outline of my silhouette was blurry and my friends said I was nowhere to be found I guess that we weren't perfect you went and fucked your roommate I crushed on her as well but it never crossed my mind my mind my mind

heading south 01:56
lyrics

last I saw you I was out of my mind searching high and low for answers to questions I couldn't find when you came to me you came to me when we were younger people said you could be cruel looking out for yourself looking down past your nose I don't blame you I don't blame you now I don't where you are you learned to drive and swiftly hit the road heading south have you found peace of mind? never one to let others decide who you were where you went what you carried inside but it weighed you down it weighed you down didn't show affection easily when you did my heart would sing and the room lit up I think you loved me you loved me now I don't know where you are you learned to drive and swiftly hit the road heading south have you found peace inside?

Summer was the name of your lover She said that it was you but you knew there was others She left you in the wind everybody take cover She's calling back again but you know that it's over Summer was the name of your lover She told you it was good but you knew it was over You need a little time take a year and recover You want some on the side call me up I'll be over I keep calling up your number but there's nobody there You're like a pin ball wizard with your wave in your hair You keep acting like it's nothing but I know that you care I saw your heart crack open and its smell in the air And the when the heat starts creeping and your hiding inside I'll be your cool cave baby you could live in my eyes I don't need to be the only I could be your sometimes Just leave a small space for me the back of your mind I know I'm not the one But I could be two or three just fine I'd never give you up You know that I'd never say goodbye Summer was the name of your lover She told you it was good but you knew it was over You need a little time take a year and recover You want some on the side call me up I'll be over Summer was the name of your lover She said that it was you but you knew there was others She left you in the wind everybody take cover She's calling back again but you know that it's over I know I'm not the one But I could be two or three just fine I'd never give you up You know that I'd never say goodbye I know I'm not the sun But I could be something in your sky I'd never burn you up I know that I'll never make you cry I keep calling up your number but there's nobody there Your like a pin ball wizard with your wave in your hair You keep acting like it's nothing but I know that you care I saw your heart crack open and it's smell in the air And the when the heat starts creeping and your hiding inside I'll be your cool cave baby you could live in my eyes I don't need to be the only I could be your sometimes Just leave a small space open for me the back of your mind Summer was the name of your lover She told you it was good but you knew it was over You need a little time take a year and recover You want some on the side call me up I'll be over Summer was the name of your lover She said that it was you but you knew there was others She left you in the wind everybody take cover She's calling back again but you know that it's over

dance, dance 02:47
lyrics

She says, she's no good with words but I'm worse Barely stuttered out a joke of a romantic stuck to my tongue Weighed down with words too overdramatic Tonight it's "It can't get much worse" Vs. "No one should ever feel like" I'm two quarters and a heart down And I don't wanna forget how your voice sounds These words are all I have so I'll write them So you need them just to get by Dance, dance We're falling apart to half time Dance, dance And these are the lives you love to lead This, this is the way they'd love If they knew how misery loves me You always fold just before you're found out Drink up it's last call Last resort, but only the first mistake and I'm two quarters and a heart down And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds These words are all I have so I'll write them So you need them just to get by Why don't you show me a little bit of spine You've been saving for his mattress, love Dance, dance We're falling apart to half time Dance, dance And these are the lives you love to lead This, this is the way they'd love If they knew how misery loves me Why don't you show me a little bit of spine You've been saving for his mattress I only want sympathy in the form of you Crawling into bed with me Dance, dance We're falling apart to half time Dance, dance And these are the lives you love to lead This, this is the way they'd love This, this is the way they'd love This, this is the way they'd love If they knew how misery loves me

wouldn't change a thing 02:41
lyrics
buy track
It feels like a while since we watched Twin Peaks in your old room draw the blinds, close the door in our own universe and though the years have travelled by I can't deny that I have never been happier than when I'm with you when I'm with you When I see you doubt yourself it makes me want to cry I wish that could you see you how I see you through my eyes I wouldn't change a thing I wouldn't change a thing I hope that you know it's true I wouldn't change a thing I'll be yours as long as you'll have me darling We're about to start our 9 to 5s will our souls survive it? We'll put on our suits, head up the drive kiss goodbye and when we get home at night you'll grab the cutting board and I'll grab the knife we'll make food together You'll walk the dog, I'll do the dishes take the ice cream out the fridge and we'll put our feet up together I wouldn't change a thing well maybe just one thing our 9 to 5, besides that I wouldn't change a thing I'll be yours as long as you'll have me darling

We put everything away California wasn't made for you Hate the traffic in LA I drove through it all to get to you Took a million miles to feel the final separation Don't you tell me now you know what you need I need to find a love to love me with no hesitation Don't you tell me now you're ready for me My baby, my baby You always got the right words at the wrong time This time, it's heartbreak You always got the right words at the wrong time For me, for me You always got the right words at the wrong time For me, for me I don't wanna see your face I'm afraid I couldn't wait for you I'm afraid that I would break Only want me when I'm leaving you Took a million miles to feel the final separation Don't you tell me now you know what you need I need to find a love to love me with no hesitation Don't you tell me now you're ready for me My baby, my baby You always got the right words at the wrong time This time, it's heartbreak You always got the right words at the wrong time For me, for me You always got the right words at the wrong time For me, for me Baby boy you always got the right words But you always say them at the wrong time Baby boy you always got the right words But you always say them at the wrong time My baby, my baby You always got the right words at the wrong time This time, it's heartbreak You always got the right words at the wrong time For me, for me You always got the right words at the wrong time For me, for me

Little boxes on the hillside Little boxes made of ticky tacky Little boxes on the hillside Little boxes all the same There's a pink one and a green one And a blue one and a yellow one And they're all made out of ticky tacky And they all look just the same And the people in the houses All went to the university Where they were put in boxes And they came out all the same And there's doctors and lawyers And business executives And they're all made out of ticky tacky And they all look just the same And they all play on the golf course And drink their martinis dry And they all have pretty children And the children go to school And the children go to summer camp And then to the university Where they are put in boxes And they come out all the same And the boys go into business And marry and raise a family In boxes made of ticky tacky And they all look just the same There's a pink one and a green one And a blue one and a yellow one And they're all made out of ticky tacky And they all look just the same
