about

Aka Harvey Dagger

Like I said, I tried my best at making it in the style of Harvey Danger. Especially from the Where have all the merrymakers gone-era. That's a great album, go listen to it right now. Heck, go listen to all of their albums! King James Version for example is an even better album than their first one!

lyrics

I see you’re going backwards,
you’re turning around
Away from me
You’re trying hard to look just
like everyone did
And now you’re free

A silly aberration
A turn of the clock
A rising tide
Has come to make you over
And take you on
A luminous wave, a hell of a ride

Where do I see you now?
Where it suits you, where you
thought you’d end up dead
Alone and miserable?
Or is that just me
projecting what I felt there in the presence of

You are a perfect contour
A walking chore
A silhouette
Oh, won’t you come to terms with
your aching head
and come down here

(and skip the coffee please)

I see that you’re progressing
You’re breaking new ground
You’re at your best
You’ve left it all behind you
-rinse and repeat
Should I feel blessed?

How do you see me now?
How it suits you, like you
thought you’d end up dead
Alone and miserable?
Or is that just me
projecting what I felt there in the presence of

You
There in the presence of
You
There in the presence of
You
There in the presence of you

I’m not even sure you’re around anymore //repeat

Where do I see you now?
Where it suits you, where you
thought you’d end up dead
Alone and miserable?
Or is that just me
projecting what I felt there in the presence of

you-
