lyrics

It happens slowly, first you don’t look at eachother as closely
You misspeak and don’t correct yourself, you want to just be understood
and to not have to try I realize it’s hard to keep the lights on
and it’s easy to relax into the comfort of something old, it’s easy… easy
but old things wear out, old love knows new love doesn’t know what it’s talking about
it talks anyway, and that’s the roundabout
and you can go great distances within it til you find yourself without, out.

It rarely hits you like a cannonball, barely leaves a mark at all
It slides in sideways between a few long days and small ways in which a lover can be unlikeable

But don’t lose your reason, don’t let yourself stop believin
You made it happen, and you have to own the outcomes of your actions
It doesn’t get better from here, when it doesn’t make sense anymore
You are your only cure, you are your only cure you are your only

you are. you.

about

Weird Year Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Harrisburg-based folk-adjacent band led by Tara Toms, featuring long-winded, heavily-harmonized love songs,
existential euphoria, linear melodies and circular conversations with a pinch of twang and the occasional polyrhythm.
