floating lyric 02 I'm with you (2023)
The sun it shines down on Barkly Street. On the plane trees and the people you meet are stuck, awaiting. I don't know why.
My vision fades, trip on cobblestones. watching memes on the telephone. It's rack and ruin . My home is your island.
A little lie, and a little unsaid. A little safe and the falling leaves They smudge the ambit like two dizzy sailors.
The sun it shines down on Barkly Street. On the plane trees and the people you meet are memes, awaiting. A home is an island
I'm with you. I know I'm alright.
