Back In A Motel

Back in a motel again
Thought I’d escaped this fixation on waking
Not knowing the place where I laid my head
Staring at a table with nothing on it
Why am I caught in this running away?
Trying to make the most of these cards as they lay
Well, I’m back in a motel again
Back on an old road again
Thought I could make it to Austin in a day
But I’m thinking ‘bout changing my plans
If you know me well, then you know that’s more often the case
Why am I caught in this running away?
Trying to make the most of these cards as they lay
Time writes you down and then throws it away
And I’m back in this motel again
True, it’s been freeing at times
Turning loose like I’m losing my mind
But I’m going, and I’ll show them
One step closer to knowing the way
Why am I caught in this running away?
Trying to make the most of these cards as they lay
Well, I’m back in a motel again
Back in a motel again

Beside Myself

So you’re back from being gone
Your feet are chapped, your face is long
Why’d you have to go and run away?
Was it something that I said,
Or did we make too much of it?
Thought I did my best to give you space
Baby, start to build your wall
Take your break from it all
As I climb, and right before I fall
You bail, and I’m beside myself
If we look at history, you got your bag of tricks from me
Mister independent, take-it-slow
Flattered as I was at first, we turned a pattern into hurt
Now you’ve got to let go just to breathe
Baby, start to build your wall
Take your break from it all
As I climb, and right before I fall
You bail, and I’m beside myself

Elastic Limits

Last night I forgot my reasons, you just have the one
Still dissecting thoughts from feeling, sharp words on my tongue
And I noticed that the lights have changed
And I should trust that we are not the same
After all was said and done, yeah after all
Did we stay young?
After all was said and done, yeah after all
Did we stay young?
After all was said and done, yeah after all
Did we stay?
Next time I will not go dancing, ask the next in line
This heart’s like her dress, elastic limits--I’ve found mine
And I noticed that the lights have changed
And I should trust that we are not the same
After all was said and done, yeah after all
Did we stay young?
After all was said and done, yeah after all
Did we stay young?
After all was said and done, yeah after all
Did we stay?

The Last Heartbreak

This is the last heartbreak, I can’t take it anymore
This is the last heartbreak, another lover’s out the door
Why does love taunt me so? This is the final blow.
My heart is broken, I’m out here hoping
That these tears will go away, for the last time
‘Cus I know this feeling, and I thought I’d beat it
But this heartache’s back again since I tried to love him.
He is a love like none other
Can’t get enough of each other
Why did it break, and fall apart?
I’m alone with my broken heart.
My heart is aching, no I can’t take it
Cuts me deeper every time that I learn to love ‘em right
No more excuses, I just can’t do this
So I put my heart away for the last time
He was a love like none other
We cast a spell on each other
Why did it have to fall apart?
I can’t take another broken heart.
My heart is broken, now that you know this,
Hush that thing between your eyes
Send your broken heart to mine
And this will be the last heartbreak of all time.

To See the Next Part of the Dream
by Parannoul
supported by 5 fans who also own “But I Love You”
Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too.

Twin Fantasy
by Car Seat Headrest

such a raw and emotional album. it finally helped me understand how i felt romantically as a teen
go to album
Drifting dreampop and snarling grunge, with potent vocals wrapped in gauzy textures one minute, surrounded by jagged riffs the next.
